ITC Incorporation & Charitable Status Rates

ITC provides an Incorporation Service for its members. The ITC services cost £120 + VAT for an online application (plus the Companies House £50 fee).

Our expertise is in the Not-for-profit sector, so we can provide Articles of Association that have Objects that will satisfy funders (but that do not make the company automatically charitable) and all necessary “not-for-profit” provisions.

We provide backup and guidance through the application process and we will tailor the Articles to fit your individual needs if necessary.

Contact Jackie at the ITC office if you would like to use this service.

Articles of Association(+ guidance notes) for a new or existing company £120+ £24 VAT = £144
Charity Application (articles & application support)£450+90 VAT = £540

What our members think

“I’ve been a member of the Independent Theatre Council for just 5 months, but in that time though, I’ve received advice on setting up my own company, have kept up with the latest on what Covid-19 means for our industry and what support is available and have had 3 training sessions to strengthen my skills as an Artistic Director.”
