A company cannot become a CIC if it is:

• a charity
• intends to be a political party, a political campaigning organisation, or a subsidiary of either
  

If you intend to set up a CIC, you must register it with Companies House. We can register either via a paper application form. However, it's the CIC Regulator that decides whether or not your company is eligible to become a CIC.
