Start Your Own Non Profit Organisation

Non Profit Organisations (NPOs)  are institutions that conduct their affairs primarily for the purpose of assisting other individuals, groups, or causes (rather than garnering profits for the owners / founders) and range from small community action groups to large social enterprises

 

Forming a new NPO in the UK essentially involves deciding whether  to operate as a charity or not,  selecting an appropriate Legal Structure and then putting in place  some legal, financial and administrative measures to keep compliant going forwards.

The forming & registering process is the crucial first step in starting a new business and getting this right at the outset is imperative as mistakes made during  this stage are usually very costly and difficult to correct.  

 

Indeed, we estimate there are over 37 common errors made  by start ups which can lead to various bad outcomes like the inability to raise required funds, unexpected tax charges, fines and penalties, large amounts of administrative work and costs, personal liability for the debts of the organisation, etc.​

 

Our robust and complete formation service  will help you avoid these errors and get you off to the best possible start.
