Community Interest Company (CIC) Incorporatiom

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:

• Structure and Governance: Advising on board-led vs. community-led models to ensure your governance matches how you engage with your audience.

• Defining Your Purpose: Drafting a Community Interest Statement that captures your artistic mission while satisfying the legal Community Interest Test.

• The Asset Lock: Creating bespoke articles that legally protect your assets, ensuring they stay dedicated to your mission.

• Pay & Dividends: Expert advice on paying directors and structuring investor returns without losing your social enterprise status or grant eligibility.

• Fast-Track Verification: As an Authorised Corporate Service Provider (ACSP), we handle all mandatory ID checks.

• Legal Conversion: Managing the entire legal transition for organisations looking to evolve into a CIC.

By managing the regulatory complexities of the CIC model, we provide you with a structure that proves your commitment to your community from day one.
