Setting up a foundation(natural healing)

Thanx for your reply,
yes that does mean that I do not wish for myself to generate money,and yes,I can wait for that...
Thanx again

The paperwork is on the websites for the Charity Commission and Companies House to DIY a limited company and/or a charity. It's fairly straightforward (I've done some of both) but, if in doubt, get some advice from someone used to reading legalese - an accountant or lawyer would be best. Have you treated any of them?

You say you don't want it to affect your tax position - does this mean you don't want or need to earn any money directly from the treatments? If so, then perhaps a Charity would be the best route.

In a few months' time you'll be able to set up a Charitable Company (CIO), which will obviate the dual registration for Charities and Companies Limited by Guarantee, if you can wait that long!

Cheers

Gerry

Also would it be fit for me to form a Foundation?do you think,in order for me to progress to acquire large premises to house patients and progress with my work.Is a foundation the way to go or is it to grandiose?

So how would one go about getting the relevant paper work?

Not sure about pro-bono work, its not exactly expensive for most companies. Partly depends on how much work you want others to do for you and how much you want to do yourself.[/quote]
Well the thing is doing the healing work myself,that is the field I am focusing on,but if it not to much trouble I could go for it myself.

Hi Martin,
are there any organisations that are set up to help,or any accountants who work pro bono in this field?
Cheers

A limited, not-for-profit company can work. Uk bank account etc - basically very similar to other companies.

Worth seeing an accountant about setting up the company.
