Hi - We are setting up a new CIC. It will be quite small scale employing one person part time. Income will be ~ £6/7K. There will be around 260 transactions per year. We want to keep costs down. In the past (again this was a CIC) Accountancy costs have been around £600 pa. It is practical to complete the CT600 ourselves for HMRC, rather than use an Accountant. Has anyone in the group had experience doing this?See More

We're looking to raise a small amount of finance to develop a digital learning platform around mental health and wellness for hospitality workers. We've been unsuccessful with applications for bank loans and grants so are now exploring options to bring an investor on board. Does anyone have any experience or expertise in how we go about doing this?Many thanksTim @ Healthy Hospo CICSee More
