If you require a limited company to be registered with the Charity commission as a charitable organisation the company must be a Charity Company Limited by Guarantee, rather than a Company Limited by Shares.
1) Register a Charitable Limited Company by Guarantee with the registrar of companies, receiving a company number for your company.
2) Apply to the Charities Commission to have your company added as a ‘registered charity’ and provided with a separate charity number.
In order to register, the Charity Commission requires that your memorandum and articles of association are drafted to include:
a) a ‘Charitable objects clause’.
b) A ‘Non-Profit distribution clause’ ensuring that money received by the charity is used to promote the charitable aims of the charity; and
c) An appropriate ‘dissolution clause’.
