Compliance infrastructure
for community investment
Common Interest Investments standardises the legal and regulatory process for CICs raising community investment — whether through equity shares or debt instruments. Fully automated compliance, verified by humans, transparent by design.
Equity
Community share offers structured under the POATR and s.86 FSMA exemptions. Automated compliance pack generation, threshold monitoring, and investor comms management.
- ✓ CIC share offers up to £5m rolling 12-month ceiling
- ✓ Director statements per Art 52(3), information access per Art 52(4)
- ✓ Primary-purpose non-financial framing per Art 52(5)
Debt
Loan notes, charity bonds, and CIC debt instruments under the same exemption framework. Standardised documentation, trustee compliance, and automated investor reporting.
- ✓ Loan note programmes with standardised terms
- ✓ Charity/CIC bond structures with automated covenant tracking
- ✓ Social impact contract compliance and reporting
Both instruments share the same compliance core. Specific regulations differ; our automation handles the variance.
The Trust Mark
Independent verification that a CIC's offer is structurally compliant. That is what we sell.
AI Verify
Automated checks against Companies House, CIC Regulator, filed accounts, and articles of association. Asset lock validity, dividend cap compliance, director checks.
Human Verify
A qualified reviewer signs off every Trust Mark. AI flags risks; humans make the call. No silent errors. No automated approvals without oversight.
Transparent
All criteria published. All checks open to audit. Every Trust Mark has a verifiable trail. If you don't trust our word, verify the verification.
Pricing model
Flat fees, not a percentage of your raise. No success fees. No hidden costs.
Actual prices to be confirmed. Examples shown for illustration.
Trust is the moat
As AI simplifies compliance, the only thing that cannot be automated is trust. We build for that world from day one.
Open-source criteria
Every check we run is published. Anyone can verify our standards.
Independent oversight
Community Advisory Panel. Published compliance audits. External review.
Human-in-the-loop
AI flags and drafts; humans verify and sign. No silent automated decisions.
No success fees
We get paid for compliance work, not for raises closing. Alignment with integrity.
