Finding the legal form that fits

An online tool, to help new organisations decide which legal model to adopt, has been created by NCVO with support from law firm Bates, Wells and Braithwaite.
Covering charities, social enterprises and co-operatives, Get Legal aims to give clear information and guidance on the most appropriate legal form and governance structure for delivering the organisation's goals.
The Legal Journey section does explain (briefly) unincorporated bodies as well as seeming to cover all possible forms of incorporation (limited liability). To use the ‘decision tool’ (but not the rest of the site) you need to register, and there are case studies and links to the relevant documents.
