Social entrepreneurship in Bulgaria is known as a sector, but only a year ago it was legally recognized as a form of business activity. At the same time, the difference in the development of the sector in individual countries does not have a key influence on the implementation of the main activities and social goals of individual organizations. The existence of several business models, which are observed among enterprises in the social and solidarity economy sector, are in general not directly dependent on the regulatory environment in which they operate. This determines the ability to monitor the applicability of those business models in question under different external conditions. The article aims to look at how social enterprises in Bulgaria integrate the various business models, that are known in the sector and to what extent they are influenced by the existing legal framework in the country.
