    Setting up a charity alongside an LTD!?

    Thanks Scalloway, that's reassuring to hear. We'd be setting up the ICO with a completely separate group of Trustees to the business - i'm very aware of the conflicts of interests obligations so am at pains to try and ensure that's as clearly separated as possible. Only obvious cross-fire is...

    Using family members as trustees?

    Thanks newchodge. I've tried to find contact details via the CC website but it's a bit of a maze. The guidance is fairly good, but as this is quite a specific question I'm struggling to 'cut through' the noise to find an answer.

    Looking for a new Web Hosting Reseller - again

    I did notice a small change when they were initially purchased, but they seemed to have it 'nailed down' pretty rapidly thereafter. To give you an idea on our site's splits; We have a VPS (6x Xeon Cores CPU, 5GB DDR4 RAM) which has around 8 individual Wordpress sets ups, including a multisite...

    Using family members as trustees?

    Thanks Mr D, So if I was to incorporate with family as trustees, but had perhaps a review period within our charter that aimed to recruit non-family members as soon as possible on the basis that without this initially, we could not set up, do you think this would be sufficient for year 1?

    Using family members as trustees?

    Hi all, I'm hoping you can help. I've tried looking at this on the Charity Commission's website, but I've read through 100+ pages of guidance and still don't seem to have found a clear answer! I'm looking to set up a new CIO (charitable incorporated organisation) to help promote a recreational...

    Looking for a new Web Hosting Reseller - again

    If you haven't already made a decision, I'd recommending taking a look at TSO Host (tsohost.com). They may be slightly more expensive than some of the other resellers but you definately get what you pay for with this. The service is very good. 100% up time across more than 40 sites over the...

    Setting up a charity alongside an LTD!?

    Hi all, So I've tried to understand this as best possible, but after countless hours of searching the web and reading various articles I'm now wondering if anyone here can help... I've been running a recreational organisation for a few years. It's currently an LTD. It trades with memberships...

    PayPal Verification Is Crippling Cashflow

    FINALLY RESOLVED!! Pleased to confirm we've finally had this sorted by PayPal. I had to continue (almost daily) hounding them on Facebook Messenger, as it's the only way I could get through to a real person (the e-mail service just kept sending me generic e-mails, and I tried calling but spent...

    PayPal Verification Is Crippling Cashflow

    Hi Nochexman, Nope - it's still rumbling on. I've been able to provide them with business banking documents from my residential address (as opposed to the virtual address) as well as my director's address via the confirmation of shares in the articles of incorporation, but they're still just...

    PayPal Verification Is Crippling Cashflow

    Thanks Paul, I think in this instance we've been caught with our trousers down a little, so to speak. Just switching to LTD from Sole Trader, and assumed this would be a positive step, as it would allow everyone to be clearer on who we are etc. If we can pull through we'll certainly factor in...

    PayPal Verification Is Crippling Cashflow

    I am happy to jump through any requirements PayPal have in place, and to verify anything and everything. They have every piece of photo ID and personal ID I can provide, as well as everything the law provides when setting up a company, including letterheads from my business bank, and the...

    PayPal Verification Is Crippling Cashflow

    There is nothing to hide here. We openly publish our correspondence address (which is my private address) via our website and are registered with every statutory body we are required to, including several trade organisations that are not compulsory, but with whom we want to be registered to...

    PayPal Verification Is Crippling Cashflow

    Thanks MartinCivil. Most of our funds are locked up with PayPal. We can turn off payments via this channel through the website and hope people are still confident with the other methods available, but it might be a little too-late

    PayPal Verification Is Crippling Cashflow

    I'll update this thread when this is finally resolved one way or another for any other desperate souls in the same position. I've found via the formation company's portal our Full Company Register, which details all of the company registration details, addresses etc as the Virtual Office, but...

    PayPal Verification Is Crippling Cashflow

    Thansk Fisicx, had no idea this was a big problem. Presumed all companies offering virtual address are required to do a KYC on client. Registered address is the same as the virtual address. It's a Kemp House 160 City Road address supplied by a formation company. Have invoices etc from them...
