Through a qualitative approach, proposing a conceptual model based on foundations that characterize the social and economic aspects of social businesses. To teste this model, a data collection instrument was also developed and applied in social businesses.

As a theoretical contribution, this study makes a contribution to the field by organizing criteria for analyzing this type of enterprise and as a basis for constructing social business measurement scales. As an empirical contribution, this article helps managers in terms of self-evaluation and also to understand how other social businesses address their social and economic goals.
