Why would I convert my existing company to a CIC?
As a CIC company is a new type of company so existing companies prior to 2005, will not have had the opportunity to set up a CIC Company, if your business is benefitting the community but is already existing as another company type, you may wish to convert your company to a CIC Company.
A CIC company has flexibility to suit your company’s activities, but also has some special features to ensure they are benefit of the community:
- Useful for enterprises of all sizes from a small community care project to a large organisation
- A CIC Company is intended to use their income and profits to benefit the community they are serving
- They are limited companies with Special Additional Features
- A CIC Company needs to be registered with both Companies house and the CIC Regulator
- Community Interest Companies must be limited companies. They cannot be a charity or unincorporated organisation.
We will provide you with all the required documentation to convert your company to a CIC.
