Fundable and Compliant CIC Set-Up Program

March 4 at 11:00 AM- 1:00 PM

Here’s the rundown on our Fundable and Compliant CIC Set-Up Program.

The focus is to help you establish a legally compliant CIC (Community Interest Company) that is fully fundable and ready to apply for your first grant.

The aim is to guide you through every step so that you’re not overwhelmed by the complexities of setting up your CIC. We’ll give you everything you need to get a fundable, compliant CIC set up while also ensuring you have the skills and knowledge to apply for funding to get your community projects off the ground.

No guesswork. No wasted time. No overwhelming online research.

The only tools you need are your computer and internet connection.

We will solve the 3 biggest challenges stopping business owners like you from setting up a CIC:

  1. Lack of Knowledge
  2. Lack of Time (due to too much confusing information online)
  3. Distractions pulling you away from your main business

Let’s start with the first challenge: Lack of Knowledge.

There’s a lot of confusing and conflicting information out there, but we’ll cut through the noise. We’ll start by walking you through the legal structures available, the key requirements, and the things you need to bear in mind when setting up your CIC.

You’ll receive clear instructions on how to prepare your Articles of Association, complete the CIC36 form, and gather the necessary director data for registration with HMRC. From there, we’ll ensure you understand the banking requirements once your CIC number is issued.

Next, we’ll guide you through internal business planning and compliance so your CIC is built to last.

The Result?

You’ll be 100% confident that your CIC is legally compliant and fundable, with all the necessary documentation prepared.

The second challenge we’ll address is the Lack of Time.

Setting up a CIC can be time-consuming if you try to figure it all out yourself. That’s why our program provides step-by-step guidance that saves you hours of wasted time. We’ll take you through each stage, from financial forecasting and compliance to creating a funding strategy that supports your projects over the next three years.

Finally, we’ll tackle the Distraction issue head-on.

Your time is valuable, and we understand you can’t afford to take your attention away from your main business for too long. Our program is designed to fit into your busy schedule. You’ll attend one live, two-hour Zoom call each week for ten weeks, and we’ll keep you accountable with action points to ensure you make steady progress.

The best part? You’ll also gain the skills to apply for your first grant—up to £20,000—so you can hit the ground running once your CIC is set up.

What’s the outcome?

By the end of the program, you’ll have:

  • A fully fundable, legally compliant CIC registered with Companies House
  • An internal business plan for the next 1-3 years
  • Financial forecasting and a funding strategy in place for short, medium, and long-term growth
  • The skills to confidently apply for your first grant funding

And that’s not all! You’ll also be part of a community of like-minded business owners, sharing best practice, forming collaborations and learning together.

You can get started today for a one-time investment of £1500, no VAT.

What’s the commitment?

  • Attend the live, two-hour weekly Zoom calls for ten weeks
  • Complete the necessary actions after each call
  • Have a legally registered, fully fundable CIC, with an internal business plan, financial forecast and funding strategy in place by the end of the program

We can’t guarantee your first funding application will be successful, but we will ensure its full eligibility for submission.
