At the forefront of this global phenomenon is microcredit, seen by many as an effective anti-poverty tool and having the Grameen Bank as its flagship program. While the prospects of social entrepreneurship seem promising, the newness of the concept and its somewhat confusing definition make conditions difficult to analyze this contemporary phenomenon. Therefore, the objective of this study was to discuss the challenges faced by social entrepreneurs and alternatives of development for social businesses through a case study on a Brazilian microcredit institution and inclusive business, Banco Pérola. The case addresses a growing need for case studies designed for teaching in the field of social entrepreneurship. It was focused mainly on understanding the development challenges within Banco Pérola, and built based on interviews carried out with top management, credit officer and clients of the institution, as well as on secondary data collected. An analysis of the case study was performed under a Teaching Notes. As illustrated by the Banco Pérola case, the main difficulties encountered by social entrepreneurs relate to the systematization of processes and creation of operational routines, including for performance evaluation (impact assessment tools); to the capture and management of both financial and human capital; to scaling up the business model and to the need of forging closer and more personal relationships with customers as against in traditional banking practices. In spite of certain limitations, such as the fact that the case might soon become outdated due to the fast-changing environment surrounding Banco Pérola, or the fact that not all relevant stakeholders (e.g. partners) were selected for interviews, the research objective has been achieved and the study can be seen as a contribution to spreading the concept of social entrepreneurship. / O termo 'empreendedorismo social' tem sido objeto de atenção crescente da parte de diversos setores nos últimos anos, motivada pela possibilidade de empregar técnicas de negócio para solucionar problemas sociais e ambientais recorrentes. À frente deste movimento global está o microcrédito, visto por muitos como um eficiente instrumento contra a pobreza e tendo o Grameen Bank como o seu carro-chefe. Embora a perspectiva para o empreendedorismo social seja promissora, a novidade do conceito e sua definição relativamente confusa tornam difíceis as condições para analisar este fenômeno contemporâneo. Logo, este estudo teve como objetivo discutir desafios enfrentados por empreendedores sociais bem como alternativas de crescimento para negócios sociais através de um estudo de caso sobre o Banco Pérola, instituição brasileira de microcrédito e negócio de impacto. O estudo de caso responde à crescente necessidade de casos de ensino no campo de empreendedorismo social. Ele teve como principal foco a compreensão dos desafios de desenvolvimento do Banco Pérola e foi construído com base em entrevistas conduzidas com a alta gerência, agente de crédito e clientes da instituição, bem como em dados secundários coletados. Uma análise do estudo de caso foi elaborada sob o Teaching Notes. Como ilustrado pelo caso do Banco Pérola, as principais dificuldades encontradas por empreendedores sociais relacionam-se à sistematização de processos e criação de rotinas operacionais, incluindo para avaliação de performance (instrumentos de avaliação de impacto); à captura e gestão de recursos financeiros e humanos; à expansão do modelo de negócio e à necessidade de estabelecer relacionamentos mais próximos e mais pessoais com clientes quando comparado à segmentos bancários tradicionais. Apesar de certas limitações, como o fato de que o caso possa, em breve, se desatualizar devido ao contexto de rápidas mudanças em que o Banco Pérola evolui ou, ainda, de que nem todas as partes relevantes tenham sido selecionadas para entrevistas (e.g. parceiros), o objetivo de pesquisa foi alcançado e o estudo pode ser considerado como uma contribuição para a propagação do conceito de empreendedorismo social.
