Section 37C Becoming a community interest company: application and accompanying documentsF1
An application to become a community interest company must be accompanied by—
a copy of the special resolutions,
a copy of the company’s articles as proposed to be amended, and
the prescribed conversion documents.
The “prescribed conversion documents” means such declarations or statements as are required by regulations to accompany the application, in such form as may be approved in accordance with the regulations.
On receiving an application to become a community interest company together with the other documents required to accompany it, the registrar of companies must (instead of recording the documents and entering a new name on the register)—
forward a copy of each of the documents to the Regulator, and
retain the documents pending the Regulator’s decision.
