]]> Comment on A Community Interest Company! by Clare-Marie White http://localedition.wordpress.com/2007/06/05/a-community-interest-company/#comment-4 Clare-Marie White Wed, 06 Jun 2007 17:51:19 +0000 http://localedition.wordpress.com/2007/06/05/a-community-interest-company/#comment-4 Thanks both - and yes, I'll try and keep away from the jargon. The test just really means that the regulator will keep an eye on all the companies to see that they are really working for the communities - I sent them a statement saying how the company's activities would benefit the community so they can check against that - and not just for profit or power or suchlike. The asset lock means that I can't sell out for my own gain or make enormous profits for myself. All profit has to stay within the company for development or would go to another community group if the company wound up. At least, that's my understanding :) Thanks both – and yes, I’ll try and keep away from the jargon.

Tony, to be fair, it looks as though the jargon (which I agree needs translating) is from the Community Interest Companies people. Congratulations on getting this going.

What is a "community interest test" and what is/does "asset lock" mean? Best of luck. Your ideas sound excellent and I wish you luck however can you refrain from too much jargon please.
