Questions

CIC Formation FAQs

How long does CIC registration take?

Timescales are set by Companies House and the CIC Regulator. We prepare a complete, well-evidenced application, including the community interest statement and governance documents, to avoid delays.

What documents does a new CIC need?

A new CIC needs articles of association suitable for a CIC and a community interest statement explaining who the company will benefit. We prepare these with you and make sure they fit how you plan to work.

Can you help after registration?

Yes. We help new CICs put policies, systems and plans in place so they are ready to operate and apply for funding.
