Setting up as a community interest company
Tools & Resources
Key Learnings
- If you’re looking to run a business dedicated to your community but where there is still opportunity for investor returns, then a community interest company (CIC) could be for you.
- A CIC sits between a not-for-profit charity and a regular for-profit business.
- CICs are tightly regulated and must deliver community benefit.
- CICs can take advantage of many of the features of a regular limited company, such as accessing debt finance and offering shareholder dividends.
