The main purpose of a community interest company is to carry out an activity solely for the benefit of a particular community (and not, apart from in limited circumstances, for the benefit of the investors or shareholders of the CIC).
CICs can either be limited by shares or by guarantee or may even be a public limited company. However, a CIC may not be a charity (a charity can convert into a CIC but it will lose its charitable status on doing so).
