About
If you’re thinking about setting up a not-for-profit company, Community Interest Company (CIC) or charity, this training will help you explore the options available and give you the information to decide your next steps.We will cover:
- When and why to set up an organisation
- Different types of legal structures
- Choosing the right kind of structure for your work
- Defining your purpose or charitable objects
- Nuts and bolts e.g. bank accounts, insurance

The session will be practical, jargon-busting, and will give you the chance to get your questions answered so you can get on with developing your work.

I'm Christina (she/her). I have worked for arts and not for profit organisations, and with individual artists across the UK, since Linkin Park were topping the charts. I support organisations and freelancers to make your work easier to manage and fund, so you can focus on the creative stuff.
