Frequently Asked Questions
How does someone become a member of our charitable company?
Under the articles: a written application, acceptance by the board or members as the articles provide, agreement to the guarantee, typically 1 pound payable if the company is wound up, and entry in the register of members, which is what makes membership legally effective. Issue a certificate if you want the member to hold evidence. The application, acceptance, certificate and register templates here cover the whole admission.
What information must our register of members now contain about each member?
Since the Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act reforms, the register must hold the required information about each member: for individuals that centres on their full forename and surname rather than initials, plus a service address, with dates of joining and leaving. The register of members is now the only statutory register your company must keep locally, so its accuracy carries more weight, not less. The compliant register template here is structured around the current requirements.
A member has not given us the details we need for the register. Can we make them?
Yes. The Companies Act now gives the company a statutory power to require a member or former member to provide the information the register must contain, and the recipient has one month to comply. Serve the demand in writing and keep the reply with the register. This sub-folder includes the section 113F demand letter, the pro-forma member reply and the parallel letter for collecting members' full names under section 113A.
Do any of our members count as people with significant control?
Usually not, but you must assess it rather than assume. With no shares, PSC status in a CCLBG turns on voting rights, the right to appoint or remove a majority of trustees or other significant influence, so an ordinary member among many will not qualify, while a member with special constitutional powers might. Record the assessment and file the outcome, including a nil return where no one qualifies. The PSC guidance note here applies the conditions to guarantee company membership.
