"Social entrepreneurship combines various activities undertaken by an entrepreneur with the main aim of combating social problems in the society whilst creating positive social values. Its activities are addressed towards helping those vulnerable people who need help the most, helping marginalised interested stakeholders and people with disabilities. The main aim of social entrepreneurship is not in terms of profit generation and the monetary measurement of results achieved. Rather, results are measured in terms of the number of new jobs generated, the number of people with disabilities who are included in entrepreneurial activities and the development of society. The aim of this article is to highlight the benefits of social enterprises and potentially to stimulate enthusiast in Serbia to start a social business for the benefits of all, drawn from original research. The results show that the civil sector has spawned social enterprises that will surely find their space in the economic sector. "
