business goals to achieve successful business or gain profit and achieve popularity. The scalable
start-up business include to achieve goals to make world better place. In this business the
investors invest their money for business. And the large company investigator they have finite
life cycle and their goals is to develop the largest business. In the social entrepreneurship there is
