Hi @danielrwalsh
As per your other thread, I've removed your email address and business name from the above post as such detail is not allowed on the community - please visit our community guidelines.
Scope have webpages that advise where you can get a grant to help you start up a new business and also more general advice about starting your own business, so please do give those a look.
Thank you and good luck!Online Community Co-ordinator

Hi @danielrwalsh. CIC's are eligible for many (but not all) charitable funding grants, so it'd be worth looking at ones specific to your area of work. I used to work for a CIC that did work around getting people active, amongst other things, so we were able to apply for grants from funders such as Sport England.
You could also look into social investment as another source of income. -
Thank you. Your advice is much appreciated
