Right Livelihood – for Friends of Resurgence: providing opportunities for ethical enterprise, assistance and

resources for study, travel and work

Ethical enterprise: new markets: sustainable business

How much do you think it can cost you to make each new
customer, subscriber or student in new markets?

What if you could reduce that sum, or remove costs entirely?

Right Livelihood
Zen Cafes work with invited not-for-profits and Social
Enterprises (co-ops and Right Livelihoods) to provide advice, resources, start-up
services or Co-venture opportunities for those delivering product or service into Asia,
Latin America or Central and Eastern Europe.

As an ethical enterprise (or committed Right Livelihood) we can show you ways to
remove new market risks and uncertainties. By introducing your clients (students,
learners, members, professionals and organisations) to a portfolio of Enterprise
Support services you can deliver long-term strategic support - available to Friends
of Resurgence, via The Hub.

Zen Cafes @ The Hub

The Hub provides flexible workspace, community networking and business support
for Social Entrepreneurs.

The Hub offers Friends of Resurgence the following

benefits: ideas incubation, IT support and Skype.

Zen Cafes provide advice and diagnostics for ethical

enterprise in three steps:

1. Through personal recommendation and

introduction via Skype

2. Alternatively, we can evaluate your proposal for

new markets

3. We can introduce you to consultancy on Right Livelihood from specialists at

World Future Council and Social Venture Network Europe.
