This CIC-LBG Complete Corporate Establishment package is designed for organisations that want more than incorporation and want their Community Interest Company limited by guarantee established with its initial corporate and governance framework properly put into place.
The package combines CIC-LBG formation and membership and governance consideration with broader initial corporate implementation. Coddan considers the proposed directors, members or guarantors and intended governance arrangements, then prepares the appropriate establishment material, including relevant corporate records, membership or guarantor records and initial governance documentation within the package scope.
The package includes the £115 Companies House CIC registration fee. Following successful incorporation, the core digital establishment and corporate documentation will be provided to you electronically, including:
1. A Certificate of Incorporation;We will prepare and implement your Community Interest Company limited by guarantee using the CIC-LBG constitutional framework appropriate to the organisation's intended membership and governance arrangements, together with the initial corporate framework required within the package scope.
You can provide information about your proposed organisation, its community purpose and activities, the directors and members or guarantors and how you expect the organisation to operate through our online application process. Coddan considers these practical facts as part of the formation and establishment process rather than requiring you to determine the legal or technical treatment yourself.
The professional review considers the relationship between the proposed directors and members or guarantors, the intended membership arrangement and the governance arrangements. Coddan then prepares the appropriate formation and establishment material, including the relevant company registers, membership or guarantor records, initial resolutions, minutes and governance documentation within the defined package scope.
The company-secretarial position is considered as part of the establishment process without assuming that every CIC limited by guarantee must appoint a company secretary or purchase continuing company-secretarial support.
Your application and the prepared formation and establishment material will be reviewed by an experienced member of the Coddan team before the incorporation application is submitted electronically. We can contact you if clarification or additional information is required to implement the proposed arrangements properly.
If you require assistance or general guidance with the information required for the CIC-LBG complete corporate establishment process, we can arrange an initial consultation by email, telephone or video call.
If you require basic or general information regarding our online order forms, CIC incorporation procedures, fees or applicable company requirements, feel free to contact us on: +44 (0) 207 935 5171 or 0330 808 0089.
We prepare and submit your completed CIC-LBG incorporation application electronically following our professional review and consideration of the proposed membership, governance and initial corporate arrangements.
Coddan's preparation and submission process is distinct from the external consideration and registration process involving Companies House and the CIC Regulator. Completed registration timing therefore depends upon the applicable filing route, the application and external processing.
Speed is an implementation capability, not a substitute for correct preparation. Providing complete and accurate information and responding promptly to any request for clarification or required verification helps the formation and establishment process proceed efficiently.
As an Authorised Corporate Service Provider (ACSP), Coddan must comply with applicable identity-verification and customer due diligence requirements when providing company formation services. The applicable verification requirements depend on the people involved in the proposed CIC and their circumstances.
Directors must complete the applicable Companies House identity-verification process and, where applicable, persons with significant control (PSCs) may also have identity-verification requirements. UK and overseas participants can use available verification routes where eligible.
Where Coddan carries out the applicable verification process, you will receive instructions from our compliance team regarding the identification documents and information required. Depending on the verification route and your circumstances, this may include identity-document information and other verification information requested through the applicable secure process.
Completion of the required verification is an important part of the formation process. Delays in providing the required information or completing the applicable verification process may result in a delay to the incorporation service.
