Follow through the remaining steps, adding the relevant addresses, people and classes. For help with these steps please see: Form a New Company with Inform Direct - Summary of the Formation Wizard

There is one remaining difference when forming a CIC - Step 3, articles and form CIC36. As you can see below, you are required to add your own bespoke articles and upload a completed CIC36 form. 

Please note: Inform Direct is a self-service platform, we do not offer bespoke CIC articles. Unless you have the expertise in house, you will need to contact a solicitor directly to have these drafted.

At the end of the wizard, all the information will be sent to Companies House electronically on the IN01 form.
