In light of Companies House recent announcement of changes to their incorporation and registration fees following the Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency (ECCT) Bill, this will have a knock-on effect to CIC incorporation fees.

As of 1st May 2024, the following fees will now apply to those wishing to register as a Community Interest Company:

• Incorporation online - £65 (currently £27)
• Incorporation by paper - £86 (currently £35)
• Limited company to a CIC (conversion) - £45 (currently £25)

The Bill will provide Companies House with greater powers on the accuracy of information on their registers and to play a significant role in tackling economic crime.
