We assist clients wishing to register a charity in England and Wales (with the Charity Commission) or in  Scotland with the Office of the Scottish Regulator (OSCR). We have successfully set up many registered charities. We can advise you on the most appropriate type of legal entity which you require to set up a charity. There are 4 options and you have to choose one to set up:-

• a trust
• an unincorporated body (association)
• a company limited by guarantee
• a charitable incorporated association

Our fees to set up  any of the above organisations and then register as a charity  are £750 plus vat of £150 making a total of £900. Half is payable in advance. If you already have an organisation set up then  we are always happy to view the governing constitutional document and quote for dealing with the registration as a charity once we have examined it to see if any amendments may be required. (We  will  have a no obligation discussion  if you just wish to  make an initial enquiry.)

The Charity Commission has very strict regulations concerning what is a charitable activity. We  ensure that the charitable objects are correctly drafted to suit your activities. We  also advise regarding payment of trustees as not all trustees can be paid.  Indeed we guide you through the maze of criteria you have to satisfy to become a registered charity. 

 We obtain all required information from you to enable us to complete and process the application documents. We endeavour to make registration of a charity an easy process and to take the stress  and time involved in such applications away from you.

We advise on any ancillary documents required in some cases eg child protection policies if you deal directly with children or grant giving policies if you will be a fund giving charity only ( there is an additional fee of £90 plus vat unless you have one already). We also advise on criminal record checks where necessary and generally oversee the matter dealing with all correspondence from the Charities Commission or OSCR.

Please beware of competitors who offer "charity" companies but do not draft charitable objects  or give guidance on matters such as payment of directors. This will result in delay and greater expense being incurred later when amending documents. They do not have instant availability by telephone for assistance and few actually deal with the charity registration process in any event

If you would like to enquire about registering a charity or have already decided to register a charity with either the Charities Commission or Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator (OSCR) then please complete our application form and we will contact you to take your proposed charity registration further.
