FAQ
Can I register a CIC for a domiciliary or home care business?
Yes many care businesses use the CIC structure to access NHS and council contracts that require social enterprise status. I can draft your community interest statement specifically around care delivery, which strengthens both your registration.
What CIC structure is best for a community youth project or sports club?
A CIC limited by guarantee is almost always the right choice for youth organisations and sports clubs, as it has no shareholders and reinvests all surplus into the community. I'll draft articles and a community interest statement
How do I open a bank account for my CIC after registration?
Most UK banks now accept CICs Mettle, Starling, and Tide are commonly used. In the Premium package I provide a bank referral and a post-registration checklist to get your CIC operational quickly.
Is a CIC better than a charity for a social enterprise startup?
A CIC is faster to register, less regulated, and allows directors to be paid making it better for social enterprises that plan to trade and earn income from day one. Charities offer greater tax benefits but come with stricter governance and Charity Commission oversight.
Can I register a CIC if I'm not a UK resident?
Yes, non-UK residents can be directors of a CIC, but the company must have a UK registered address. I can assist with registered address services as part of the Standard and Premium packages.
What grants can a CIC apply for after registration?
CICs are eligible for local authority grants, National Lottery Community Fund awards, NHS social prescribing funds, and numerous foundation grants that require social enterprise status. My Premium package includes a grant readiness checklist specific to your sector.
How does a CIC annual report work and what does it include?
Every CIC must submit an annual CIC report (CIC34 form) to Companies House alongside its annual accounts and confirmation statement. The report describes the company's community activities, dividend payments, and director remuneration it's public and visible to funders.
Can two people jointly register and run a CIC?
Yes a CIC can have two or more directors and/or members, which is actually recommended for governance reasons. Both directors would be listed at Companies House as persons of significant control (PSCs).
What sectors are most commonly using CIC registration in the UK?
Health and social care, education and training, arts and culture, youth services, housing, and community food projects are the most common CIC sectors. The care sector in particular has seen strong CIC growth due to NHS and council procurement requirements.
Can my existing limited company convert to a CIC?
Yes an existing UK limited company can apply to become a CIC by passing a special resolution and submitting a CIC conversion application to the CIC Regulator. I can advise on the conversion process and draft the required community interest statement
