Abstract
The paper develops arguments for the need of a new form of legal entity for social enterprises that allow the co-existence of for-profit and non-for-profit shareholders within the capital structure of a company. The paper is the basis of the legal form of the Société d'Impact Sociétal developed under Luxembourg law which serves as a role model for social enterprises seeking funding from both philanthropic and for-profit investors.
