At long last the Charity Commission are seeming to tackle the long awaited opportunity of converting from a Charitable Company to a CIO (Charitable Incorporated organisation).

They are opening a consultation process which invites feedback on the proposed conversion process, and associated consequential changes.

The consultation closes on 10th June and details can be found on the Charity Commission Website under the document entitled:

Open consultation: Converting to a Charitable Incorporated Organisation

I will be interested in what is proposed as there will be an inevitable initial cost which for a small charity might be unattractive to save on the inconvenience of filing at Companies House? Slightly tongue in cheek I know but for an existing charitable company the cost benefit analysis needs looking at.
