Charity incorporation

Start with the right context.

Advisory support for organisations considering charity incorporation and associated practical requirements. An initial conversation helps identify the facts, timing and priorities relevant to your enquiry.

What this service involves

Charity incorporation begins with the charitable purpose, intended activities, trustees and proposed legal structure. The structure chosen affects how the charity is run and what registrations may be required.

A considered approach

Charity incorporation is linked to the charitable purpose, trustees, governance and intended activities of the organisation. The structure should support how the charity will operate in practice.

Clarifying these fundamentals makes it easier to identify the registration and administration questions that follow.
