Join us for the Seghu launch!
First UK platform to help you choose the right legal structure, the right governance, to unlock the funding needed to grow.
Launches 21 October at Birmingham Tech Week
Supported by leading organisations across the UK social economy





THE CHALLENGE
The UK social sector is structurally stuck.
Early social founders make legal decisions with little to no guidance. Later finding the wrong structure blocks funding, fails due diligence, and requires restructuring costing £1000's they cannot afford. The support landscape is fragmented: strong players at every stage, but nothing connecting legal formation to capital access. Until now.
of CICs, Charities and CASC's cannot legally accept social investment, locked out by their incorporation structure.
of social enterprises fail due to structural misalignment to funding
lost from grants & charitable donations over the last decade; the sector needs new capital pathways.
Three engines. One platform.
Legal Structure Decision Engine
A guided AI wizard that determines your optimal legal form (CIC, charity, CBS, co-operative) and produces the governance documents to match.
Funding Stack Builder
Creates your personalised funding strategy with readiness scoring, identifies gaps in your approach, and provides actionable next steps tailored to your structure.
Funder Matching Engine
Profiles 80+ UK social and ethical funders, scores each against your profile (0–100), and produces a ranked shortlist with engagement guidance.
Seghu replaces the fragmented, expensive journey of advisers, solicitors, and guesswork with a single, structured pathway. At a fraction of the cost.

PartnerOur partnership with Seghu helps us ensure clients seeking crowdfunding or any other investment have a better understanding of the investment options and the legal structures needed to access them.
I was unsure whether to incorporate as a CIC or anything else. There were very few places I could go for truly independent, affordable advice. The platform helped me find the right structure, but also the aligned funding to deliver my social impact.

Belinda K
Founder, BK Networks
Through a peer insight session we decided a hybrid legal structure was right for us. We also learned about a grant that helps with due diligence for a Community Centre purchase.

Aftab Rahman

We were looking into social investment to help us grow and sustain the business. The platform helped educate us on the different structures available and helped create the required documents.
