Community Interest Company
Registration Service
The Community Interest Company (CIC) legal structure is becoming increasingly popular for people wanting to start a business designed around delivering life-changing improvements for people in our society. CICs bring social and economic improvements to the community and the planet as a whole. If through your own research or our support services, you have determined that a CIC Limited by Guarantee is the right model for you, we can send you a simple questionnaire. From there, we can readily complete the relevant Companies House forms and documentation for you to review, sign and submit.

SEK will come to your premises and facilitate Board Development workshops in line with your needs. It may be a strategy session away day, support on governance, or even training for your Board. SEK’s experienced advisors will take away the stress and be there to guide your Board through your unique situation.
Strategic Project Support
SEK will deliver large projects for you. For example, do you struggle to write a business plan, or prepare a fundraising strategy? SEK will come into your business, learn about your organisation, make suggestions, and prepare the necessary documents.
