What is a CIC?

[Jenny10000]

Hello was is a community internet company? Can I pay myself and can I employ people? How do I get started?

Community Interest Company.

I suppose it is a hybrid between a private company and a charity. It has to be done in the social interest.

Yes, you can pay yourself and employees, but you must lay out what you do differently. Most are very small. But being a registered CiC does get you charitable rates on some products etc.
