Hi Max, This is a super helpful video, my CIC has just become official and at that scary part with self doubt etc. I would love to hear some more about your experiences with CIC business related things!
@@nickyunderwood5437 Yeah that makes sense. 'Go with your gut' has always helped us. We changed our business name slightly a few years in, and the process was fairly straightforward, so try not to put too much pressure on yourself - and try to have fun with it! :) :)
Hi max Well done..!! I need sme advice but dont know which way to turn..i have just recently come across this cic & have always wanted to help the local community.. i have a concept but dont know how to begin, as i am a hands on person only, i have managed to secure some outdoor space with the owner, & need fundings to get it off grounds- setting up / renovating etc, as a bold figure could be upto 50 thousand pounds , it will be offering SEVERAL services to a BAME disadvantaged community..

Beautiful, thank you very much. About to start a CIC, this was inspiring.
Nice to see so many CIC founders comment in one place! Is there any community of CIC founders in an app or something we could join to discuss ideas 🤔
Great insight, Max - thanks for sharing your experiences. very useful as we start our CIC journey :)
No problem at all! Good luck with it all :)

@@maxmayachannel Thanks so much! It's exciting, but getting the business name right to begin with is a challenge!

Wicked video and getting me to ask some important questions about my self! Thank you!
Thank you. Really good points, especially skills audit and vulnerability in asking for help (Scary!)
