About Lesson

It is imperative to the success of your third sector organisation that you select the appropriate legal structure to suit your business model. This guide will discuss the typical legal structures found in the third sector and the key things to take into consideration when deciding which legal structure to adopt.

Note: You do not need to be worried about picking your structure at this time! There is no rush to register your organisation and you can also change your structure later down the line. This is just to give you a few things to consider for when you are ready to choose your legal structure. 

Key Considerations

Not-for-profit organisations choose a legal structure based on a variety of factors, including:

  • How the organisation will be funded;
  • Whether any profits will be distributed;
  • Whether the organisation will be controlled by voting members;
  • Whether the organisation will be charitable;
  • Whether the organisation will be incorporated to restrict liability.
