Are you looking to build a sustainable future for your community?
For creative entrepreneurs and collective-led projects, a Community Interest Company (CIC) offers a unique middle ground. It provides the commercial agility of a private company with a locked-in commitment to community impact.
We guide you through the process of establishing a social enterprise that is eligible for social investment, ensuring your legal structure supports long-term creative independence.
Our core services:
