Start-ups for Charities and CICs

skip content up to navigation menus

We advise those wishing to start up a new venture and identify the most appropriate legal structure to be used, whether a community interest company (CIC), a charitable company, a social enterprise or a not for profit company.

There are a wide range of issues that need to be considered, as well as the individual preferences of the promoters of that venture. We facilitate discussion on these issues and are able to draft a summary report of the pros and cons of each option.

We have regular dealings with Companies House, the CIC regulator and the Charity Commission and we use this knowledge to guide our clients through the process of registration and their future activities.
