FAQ
Why does the wording of my CIC36 community interest statement matter so much?
The CIC Regulator reviews your community interest statement to decide if your company genuinely benefits the community vague wording like "we help people" triggers rejection. I write specific, evidence-based statements that pass the community interest test on the first submission.
What should a good community interest statement include?
A strong CIC36 statement identifies who the beneficiaries are, describes the specific activities the company will carry out, and explains the direct community benefit. It should be concrete and use plain language aligned with what the CIC Regulator expects.
Can you draft a CIC community interest statement for a care or healthcare organisation?
Yes care sector CICs are one of the most common types, covering domiciliary care, supported living, youth services, and community health. I tailor the statement to the health and social care sector language that both the CIC Regulator and NHS/council funders recognise.
What is the difference between CIC model articles and custom articles of association?
The CIC Regulator provides standard model articles which are free to use and suitable for most organisations. Custom articles give you more flexibility around governance, membership, and dividends but require more careful drafting I can advise which is right for your situation.
Can I use the same community interest statement for grant applications?
Yes, and I specifically craft the CIC36 wording to double as a grant-funder-ready statement. Many councils, foundations, and NHS grant programmes look for language that demonstrates measurable community impact your CIC36 can serve both purposes.
What is the community interest test and how does my CIC pass it?
The community interest test asks whether a reasonable person would consider the company's activities beneficial to the community. Your statement needs to clearly describe who benefits, how many people, and in what specific way I draft this to meet the Regulator's standard.
Can a CIC limited by guarantee have paid employees?
Yes, a CIC limited by guarantee can employ and pay staff including directors, unlike many charity structures. This is one of the key advantages of the CIC model for social enterprises that need to attract professional leadership.
How long should a community interest statement be?
There is no minimum word count but it should be substantive enough to demonstrate genuine community benefit typically 150–400 words. Brevity without specificity is the most common cause of queries from the CIC Regulator.
Do I need a lawyer to draft CIC articles of association?
A solicitor is not legally required to draft CIC articles a qualified formation specialist can prepare compliant articles using the CIC Regulator's framework. My articles are drafted to meet all statutory requirements including the asset lock and dividend cap provisions.
Can my CIC convert to a charity in the future if needed?
A CIC cannot convert directly to a charity without dissolving and re-registering suit must cease CIC status before obtaining charitable status. This is why choosing the right structure from the start is important, and I can advise on whether a CIC or charitable company limited by guarantee.
