Andrew Baker Consultancy
We are a consultancy that aims to use the experience gained in the CDFI and social enterprise sector to help other organisations seeking to ‘make a difference’. These organisations can include existing CDFIs, new or existing social enterprises and local authorities seeking to reduce financial exclusion. As a consultancy, we have both set up and run CDFIs and increasingly, we are working with social enterprises to help them convert their ideas into income generating businesses. This is what we can help you do – giving you back the time to do the things that you planned to do in the first place.
