Incorporation
We are well used to advising on the formation of churches as charities whether the governing instrument is a declaration of trust or whether the charity is to be incorporated as a company limited by guarantee.
Churches sometimes operate projects such as "drop in counselling centres", cafes, charity shops, book shops etc the operation of which can, for a variety of reasons threaten the charitable status of the church and are therefore better separated from the church by being incorporated as companies limited by guarantee.
