Just Enterprise - Legal Structures for Start Ups Pt 1

The programme is divided into two workshops:

The first session will consider incorporation and what that means; provide an overview of the most adopted legal structures for social enterprises in Scotland; and will clarify the governance and legal responsibilities required from your Board of Directors.

The second session will consider the asset lock and what it means; explain the need for Memorandum and Articles of Association, highlighting their importance to a social enterprise; and will go over some frequently asked questions.

Join this engaging, interactive workshop to find out more.
