Welcome to the website of HISEZ CIC.

HISEZ was established in 2003 to promote and support the growth of social enterprise across the Highlands and Islands region.

We know the difference social enterprises are making to the region – creating sustainable local jobs, delivering vital public services, operating lifeline transport connections, and breathing new life to some of our remotest and poorest communities.

We exist to make sure these businesses continue to prosper, by providing expert support and advice, creating business opportunities, and by promoting the values and benefits of social enterprise.

So, if you are an established or aspiring social enterprise, have a brilliant business idea, or just want to know more about social enterprise in the Highlands and Islands, make HISEZ CIC your first port of call.
