The Social Stock Exchange (SSX) is the world’s first live public capital market exclusively for profit with purpose for all. Our mission is to stimulate a vibrant regulated public social investment market so that impact businesses of all sizes have greater access to capital and impact investors, both retail and institutional, can identify, transact and realise their environmental, social and financial goals. SSX changes the game by enabling ordinary people (individual retail investors) to make a different choice as to how they want to invest, and by solving the current problem for the impact private equity industry wanting to achieve an exit with aligned investors to secure purpose. |

SSX will earn a mix of revenues from its service lines:
1. Annual memberships for Issuer members to be certified as a Social Impact Business, SSX will promote visibility and profile of its social impact members
2. Revenue share arrangement with ISDX for members quoted on the SSX branded segment of the ISDX markets
3. Management of retail distribution process through intermediaries for member companies raising public capital generating success fees as a percentage on the amount of capital raised
4. Social corporate adviser memberships enabling advisers to participate in the SSX market and access issuers as prospects
5. Media revenues through sponsorship of impact investing themed events
Challenges facing society are too large and complex for government and the social sector alone. 2008 crash highlighted need for finance sector to help build a healthy society. Impact brings the 3rd dimension to Risk & Return, and there need not be a trade-off between financial and social return. Investment can be more effective than donations to provide sustainable change. There is widespread investor interest and substantial money flows looking for exposure but as yet few clearly identifiable impact opportunities. With our established impact reporting process, investors will be able to identify and evaluate potential impact investments facilitating the flow of capital to impact enterprises.
