Abstract
At present in the Bulgarian legislation there is no a legal act that gives the legal regulation of the activities of the social enterprise or social entrepreneurship. There is a fragmented legal regulation of individual sectors (social service providers, specialized enterprises for people with disabilities), where subjects engaged in activities are covered by social enterprises, but this approach is rather negative effect on the development of a coherent state policy to support the social economy and social enterprises, which ultimately reflects on their sustainability and efficiency. To clear structuring of the social economy sector in Bulgaria legislative changes should be undertaken and improvement of legislation to create preconditions for adequate legal and statistical recognition of the subjects of the social economy.
