CIC Formation & Funding Support
Ease • Self-employed
Jun 2026 - Present • 4 mos
I support UK social enterprise founders with CIC formation documents, business planning and funding application preparation. I help organise registration information, prepare draft articles of association and community interest statements, and explain the documents needed for the buyer's chosen structure. My work also includes developing CIC business plans and financial projections from client information, researching relevant grant opportunities and drafting funding applications around project activities, budgets and community outcomes. I focus on clear writing, consistent information and practical documents that clients can review before submission. Each project has a defined scope, with missing information and required decisions highlighted early. Areas of support include UK CIC registration, CIC formation, Companies House application, community interest company, CIC articles of association, community interest statement, CIC36 form, CIC limited by guarantee, CIC limited by shares, asset lock, community benefit, social enterprise, CIC business plan, social enterprise business plan, funding business plan, financial projections, cash flow forecast, income forecast, expenditure forecast, project budget, grant research, UK CIC grants, grant funding application, grant proposal writing, funding proposal, grant eligibility, community project funding, project outcomes, impact measurement and funding application review.
