It can be a very exciting time forming a new organisation for a good cause, but complying with the rules and regulations can prove to be confusing.

Whether it is ensuring that the correct structure is established, navigating the Charity Commission application process or getting registered with HMRC - unless you have prior knowledge and experience of these legal processes, they can be both confusing and time-consuming.

Maintaining good governance can also present a challenge down the road. How a charity is organised will be a key factor in its future success and needs regular review.

Clive Rich, CEO and Founder of LawBite commented, “LawBite has successfully handled tens of thousands of legal enquiries from SMEs, providing expert legal advice that is more accessible, clearer to understand and more affordable.

Now is the right time to provide Charities with a similar level of support - helping them to more easily navigate the complexities of getting a good cause off the ground and running it efficiently with legal advice that is faster and much cheaper.

Running your business

Charities face the same issues that SMEs have to deal with, for instance; employing staff, data protection matters, renting commercial property and protecting their brand identity. 

LawBite is vastly experienced in delivering expert legal assistance for general commercial matters.

We are renowned for fixed pricing, with none of the hidden charges often seen with other legal providers. The LawBite digital platform enables it to offer lower-cost services, but still maintain very high-quality legal advice.
