Se ha prestado cada vez más atención al desarrollo del sector social en Europa. El artículo presenta varios modelos existentes de empresas sociales en Bulgaria y otros Estados miembros, como, la República Checa, Grecia y Hungría, y analiza el ecosistema en el que están funcionando.

Se presenta una revisión de la posible cartera de instrumentos de financiación internacionales y nacionales y se realiza un breve análisis de la trazabilidad de los resultados. Se comenta la actualización existente y futura de las legislaciones y políticas nacionales. Se ha hecho una evaluación general del entorno necesario para sus actividades. Se deliberan las características básicas y los problemas de los ecosistemas. El artículo analiza las barreras comunes y proporciona recomendaciones en las cuales los países examinados podrían trabajar para mejorar el éxito de las empresas sociales. El artículo indica que la inestabilidad del entorno legal y financiero dificulta el desarrollo de las empresas sociales y reduce su longevidad.
The following paper presents three related narratives. The first one looks at the dynamics of definitions of social economy and social enterprises. The second presents the Bulgarian perspective on social enterprises from different data sources with a focus on particular regulatory gaps, which impede the development of specific social enterprises in Bulgaria, called chitalishte. They have the longest and most steady tradition in the country among the not-for-profit organizations. The third narrative presents a story of non-profit social enterprises as agents of institutional change. The examples used in the paper arose in different time periods, have different specifics, but all emphasize the importance of the economic and social environment for the degree of sway on the institutional profile of chitalishta. The specific forms of Bulgarian social entities were studied in order to demonstrate their potential for institutional changes, expected level of impact, and compliance with coherent policies. Some regulatory deficiencies that narrow the scope of their action were also analyzed.
