Social businesses present themselves as an alternative to solving society problems which affect mainly the classes at the base of the social pyramid, through business models that generate both profit and social impact. This paper analyses the willingness of the population of Sanga Funda housing complex in Cascavel-PR to join a social business. The research, of exploratory-descriptive character and qualitative approach, verified the lack of willingness to join the program. Although the location factor was favorable to the enterprise, a number of unfavorable factors for joining the program was identified, such as: predominance of the economic factor in the purchase option, even considering aspects such as small distance between houses and the establishment and social return; few product options; unavailability of meeting larger purchase demands; few alternatives or higher cost to promote products and sales; Difficulty in price competition in relation to competitors; few alternatives of term purchases; existence of a competitor traditional in the region; possible preference for markets with greater flow of people (crowding and social factors). Finally, in comparison with this paper, we suggest future research in other locations with potential to implement social business, as well as studies in pioneering social businesses in the country to identify if these enterprises have reached the financial sustainability and the expected social and environmental impact.
