CCT operator-led deployment

CCT funding for social enterprises in Victoria

Most Victorian social enterprises are non-DGR by structure — Path B's CCT-operator-led model is the cleanest pathway for catalytic capital. The CCT funds an ADV which procures and leases the asset (commercial kitchen, vehicle fleet, facility) to the social enterprise under CADA. Voluntary contributions tied to revenue recover the principal back into the CCT corpus.

Why this audience

Why social enterprises carry this structural problem

Mission-locked profit-distribution restrictions limit access to commercial debt; revenue-cycle gaps between contracts create existential cash pressure.

DGR profile: Most social enterprises lack DGR status — CCT operator-led pathway is the structural unlock.
