What is a Community Interest Company (CIC)?

A Community Interest Company (CIC) is a special type of UK limited company designed for people who want to run a business that benefits the community rather than private shareholders. CICs must meet specific legal requirements and are regulated by the CIC Regulator.

Can you help me form a CIC?
We’re unable to set up CICs on behalf of our customers, as they involve a complex application process that includes additional documentation and approval from the CIC Regulator.

Who do you recommend?
If you’re looking to form a CIC, we recommend speaking with a specialist CIC formation agent or legal advisor. They can guide you through the required forms, draft your community interest statement, and submit the application properly.
