Supposed some one does not want to trade this financial compensation by psychic compensation – is there any way he can still be in social business?
Of course, he can. He can do it very easily. He can divide his investment in two parts. One part will be equity, accepting all its associated conditions (no profit, no compensation). Another part of this investment may be in the form of a loan with interest rate fixed just enough to cover all the financial risks around the equity investment, without making any extra financial gain for himself. In such a case he may be considered as a full supporter of social business but his shareholding portion will be lesser than before. This loan will be different kind of a loan from a profit maximizer lending to a social business. Profit-maximizing lender is lending to a social business without any consideration that it is a business dedicated to a social cause. He lends to this social business because it a good profit making investment opportunity for him.
