Charities

Restructuring/Subsidiaries

You may be considering a change in the legal structure of your organisation.  For example, you may wish to be a company limited by guarantee, instead of an unincorporated association. We can advise you on the pros and cons and prepare all the necessary documentation. 

In considering whether a charity’s activities meet the charity test, it may become apparent that some activities fall outside the charity’s purposes. Such activities might be dealt with more appropriately by a non-charitable subsidiary. We can advise on whether such a move is necessary and, if so, assist with setting up the appropriate subsidiary structure.
