Legal Structures for your group (online event)

Music groups often start as small and informal, but as they become well established a formal structure can be beneficial. It can help when applying for funding, provide liability protection for your members, establish clear leadership roles and provide long-term sustainability.

This event will look at the options available including; unincorporated associations, Charities, Community Interest Companies and limited companies, and outline how each one impacts your group’s finances and governance
