FAQ
What is the difference between a CIC limited by guarantee and limited by shares?
A CIC limited by guarantee has members rather than shareholders and is more common for non-profit social enterprises profits stay in the organisation. A CIC limited by shares allows investors to receive capped dividends, making it better for social ventures seeking equity investment.
How long does CIC registration with Companies House take?
Online CIC registration typically takes 3–5 working days once all documents are correctly submitted to Companies House and the CIC Regulator. Delays usually occur when the community interest statement is vague or incomplete, which is why I draft yours carefully.
What is a community interest statement for a CIC application?
The community interest statement (CIC36 form) is a written explanation of how your company will benefit the community it's reviewed by the CIC Regulator as part of approval. A weak or generic statement is the most common reason CIC applications are rejected or delayed.
Can I pay myself a salary as a director of a CIC?
Yes, CIC directors can receive a reasonable salary unlike many charity trustees. The salary must be proportionate and disclosed in your annual CIC report filed with Companies House.
Does my CIC need a registered office address in the UK?
Yes, every CIC must have a registered UK address for official Companies House correspondence. I can advise on registered office address services if you don't yet have a UK address.
What is the asset lock in a CIC and why does it matter?
The asset lock is a legal clause in your articles of association that ensures CIC assets and profits are used for community benefit and cannot be privately extracted. It's a statutory requirement for all CICs and is what distinguishes them from standard limited companies.
Can a charity convert to a community interest company?
Yes, a charity can convert to a CIC but it must give up its charitable status in the process, including any tax advantages like Gift Aid eligibility. I can advise on whether conversion is suitable for your situation.
Will my CIC be eligible for grants and public funding after registration?
CIC status significantly improves access to grants, social investment, and council funding many funders require CIC or charity status to apply. The wording of your community interest statement can also be crafted to align with grant funder language.
What ongoing compliance does a CIC need after registration?
Every CIC must file an annual CIC report (CIC34) and confirmation statement with Companies House each year, along with annual accounts. Failure to comply can result in penalties or the CIC being struck off.
How is a CIC different from a charity or a standard UK limited company?
A CIC is regulated more lightly than a charity (no Charity Commission oversight) but more strictly than a standard company (asset lock + annual CIC report). It's the ideal structure for social enterprises that want to trade commercially while protecting their community mission.
