Who've used our tools to validate their ideas and launch successfully
A Community Interest Company (CIC) is a special type of limited company that exists to benefit the community rather than private shareholders. CICs have an "asset lock" which prevents assets and profits being distributed to members, except as permitted by regulations.
Most people complete all 3 tools in 20-30 minutes. The eligibility checker takes about 5 minutes, the benefit statement writer takes 10-15 minutes, and the business model tester takes 5-10 minutes.
Yes! All 3 tools are completely free to use with no signup required. We also offer paid tools for ongoing CIC management (compliance calendar, grant finder, etc.) but the free tools will always remain free.
You'll get instant results for the eligibility checker, a downloadable Word document for your benefit statement, and an Excel spreadsheet with your business model projections. All ready to use in your CIC36 application.
Nothing! You can use the free tools as many times as you like. If you want ongoing support with compliance, grant finding, and board governance, you can upgrade to our paid toolkit (£297 one-time payment).
