What is a Community Interest Company?

Community Interest Companies (CICs) are limited companies with the following special features:

- they must trade in the interest of the community they were set up to benefit;

- they have a statutory asset lock - this means that profit distribution is restricted and on winding up assets cannot be divided among the members;

- they are regulated by a Regulator who oversees the activities of CICs.

CIC's are a new legal form for social enterprises i.e. enterprises wishing to trade and use the profits/assets for the benefit of the community.
they can have shares or guarantors.
A share structure allows for investment by those wishing to use their money to fund services of benefit to the community.
