At its core, a Community Interest Company (CIC) is a special type of non-profit organisation dedicated to benefiting the community rather than private shareholders. When a CIC is limited by guarantee (which Bright Emotions is), it means:

1️⃣ No Shareholders or Profits Taken Out

Unlike regular businesses, we don’t have shareholders. Instead, any income we generate is reinvested back into the company to achieve our mission.

2️⃣ Community-Focused

Our purpose is to serve and uplift the community. Everything we do must create a positive impact and fulfill our stated goals for public benefit.

3️⃣ Limited by Guarantee

Rather than buying shares, our members agree to contribute a small amount (a “guarantee”) if the company closes. This ensures financial accountability while maintaining our focus on community work.

4️⃣ Regulated for Transparency

CICs are regulated by the CIC Regulator, ensuring we stay true to our mission and remain accountable to the people we serve.
