ABSTRACT

The community interest company (CIC) is designed for private actors seeking to engage in pro-social entrepreneurship and investment for public benefit. Although there are a handful of studies that focus on the CIC, knowledge gaps remain in the legal literature. The aim of this article is to fill two of those gaps. First, it shines a spotlight on the political drivers that spurred the CIC. Second, it offers a comprehensive analytical model of the CIC.
