You have an idea that could make a difference. Let’s look at the finances behind it: how money will come in, what it needs to cover and how you will keep track from the start.

Before you choose a structure

A CIC is one way to run a social enterprise. Before proceeding, consider who will benefit, how you will earn income and how the organisation will be governed. A CIC application requires a community interest statement and suitable constitutional documents, including an asset lock. Approval is decided by the relevant authorities.

Put your records in place

You do not need to know every accounting term before we talk. We can work through software, invoices, receipts and project records in simple terms. If you plan to employ people or need VAT support, tell us so we can discuss that too.

Agree the help you need

Tell us where you are with your plans. We will explain the accounting setup, application support or ongoing bookkeeping we can take on, and agree the fees. If your governing documents need specialist legal advice, we will explain where a separate adviser may be needed.

What to bring to your consultation

Bring a short description of your community purpose, planned activities, likely funding and expected running costs. If you have already prepared documents or registered your CIC, let us know. Book a free 30-minute consultation to discuss your next steps.
