Incorporation guidance for Golf Clubs
One of the most important choices you will make when forming a club is which legal structure to adopt.
The same choices can arise at a later stage in the club’s development, when it may be appropriate to adopt a different legal structure – either because there is a need to have a more robust structure to ensure good governance and protection against key risks, given the increased scale of the operations or because there are new opportunities (perhaps those related to the community empowerment agenda) which can only be accessed if the club adopts a new structure.
The choices are plentiful, and it can seem overwhelming deciding which option to take. It’s worth taking your time over the decision and making sure the structure you choose is right for your club, as each structure has its own strengths.
This guide will walk through the various structures available to your club and outline the benefits and limitations of each legal form.
