What is Fair Shares?

Fair Shares is a philosophy for creating and sustaining networks of solidarity enterprises that share power and wealth amongst their entrepreneurs, producers, consumers and investors. Its effectiveness is linked to its resources for self-governing social enterprises operating as companies, co-operatives, associations and partnerships. It offers a unique approach to enterprise ownership, governance and management through its recognition and integration of founders, producers, employees, customers, service users and investors, and support for Creative Commons IP in enterprise development.

The Fair Shares Model can be applied as a methodology for social enterprise development. It is supported by:

five values and principles

six key questions

five learning and development methods

four legal identities

seven ICT support platforms

six forms of wealth contribution

They were created during research programs on democratising charities, co-operatives and social enterprises at Sheffield Hallam University and Manchester Metropolitan University, and an EU Erasmus+ Project to develop Fair Shares Labs. The model promotes recognition of capital contributions (natural, human, social, intellectual, economic and financial) by founders, labour, users and financial supporters. Each stakeholder is allocated a fair share of the wealth and power created by a business.
