Answer: Briefly describe the usefulness and uniqueness of your social venture | The financial model aims to reflect the economics of the SIB. It estimates the costs of interventions, overheads and other fixed costs which together determine the level of investment required over the period of the SIB. Set against this will be the share of the cost savings agreed by the commissioner to be distributed to investors should a sufficient improvement in outcomes be achieved. | ||||||
1: | The financial model requiresconsideration of threefactors: | ||||||
1: Issues to be addressed by this social venture (or case) | - Intervention costs - Outcome values - Time horizon to realise investment returnsish | ||||||
2: | Cost should substantially below the savings | ||||||
2: What is the unique idea to solve the issues? | SIBs work when the costs of achieving the target
outcome (intervention costs plus overheads and
fixed costs) are substantially lower than the level of
the resulting public sector savings (outcome value). This is essential to developing a financially viable investment proposition on which to raise capital. |
||||||
3: | Usually commissioners prefer 5 year time horizen | ||||||
3: Revenue Model & Organization | A reasonable time horizon for the investment is
critical. Investors would prefer to see a SIB that
matures within a time horizon of around 5 years.
Therefore there needs to be a tight timescale
between intervention, measurement of impact
and payment on outcomes achieved. This is a consideration particularly in examples such as early years intervention (0-5 year olds). If the outcome metric is educational attainment, but it is necessary to wait 11 years (age 5 to 16 years old) to measure GCSE results for the target population, this will not make for a feasible SIB. For such a model to work, an earlier measure regarded as a reliable predictor of future performance is necessary. |
||||||
4: | measure placement-related outcomes | ||||||
4: Targeted Benefit & Outcome | The focus on adolescents (aged 10.15 years old)
provides a relatively compact time frame over
which to measure outcomes. For this age group,
research shows that if a young person remains
looked after for more than a short time period (e.g.
3 months), the likelihood of remaining looked after
on a long-term basis increases. Outcomes for the young person become much worse with long-term care. Therefore one approach could be to measure placement-related outcomes at 3 or 6 months postintervention. |

5: | Next steps | ||||||
5: Strengths and Risks of the business model | We hope the process outlined above is helpful in
developing a feasible SIB model. Social Finance
would be delighted to engage with you in order to
support progress towards implementation. As a first
step we would ask you to submit your responses to
the key questions set out in the appendix. For more information please review our publications: Towards a New Social Economy . Blended value creation through Social Impact Bonds (March 2010). Social Impact Bonds . Unlocking Investment in Rehabilitation (September 2010). We invite you to join the Social Impact Bond forum to connect with other interested stakeholders, or participate in our ongoing series of webinars. www.socialfinance.org.uk/forum We wish you all the best with your SIB development and look forward to working together.. |
