Legal Structure of your Club
The aim of this section of the site is to provide a brief introduction to the range of legal forms and legal status available to clubs.
It is prudent for clubs to periodically review their legal form in order to ensure that they are operating the most appropriate structure for the nature of their operations. Considering the various options available can be time consuming and confusing, we have therefore produced a Guidance Note to help clubs through the process.
This section of the site also contains some Guidance on the Companies Act 2006.
If you are considering incorporation of your club, we would advise you to consider the other alternatives at the same time; that is charitable status / CASC status / remaining as an unincorporated association. We would advise you to look at the Charitable Status/CASC Status section of the website. You may also wish to take specialist tax advice.
