A Community Interest Company (CIC) is a limited company and social enterprise that uses its profits and assets for the public good. They can serve a wide range of social and environmental issues but in order to be a Community Interest Company a business must pass the community interest test.
This means that the business cannot be politically motivated, set up to serve only a restricted section of the public, or carry out unlawful activities. The form CIC36 must be signed by the prospective directors of the company and must set out their community- minded objectives. Assets will be “locked” to ensure that they are dedicated to further these objectives. More information on CICs can be found on the Community Interest Companies website (www.bis.gov.uk/cicregulator/).
