I am thinking of setting up a non profit the aim of which would be to provide specific resources free or base cost on a national basis, and I believe there would be public benefit so would qualify as a charity. A lot of work would be required to set up the resources and I would like to be paid for work I do and to be able to pay for expertise and services from others, such as printing, and research, and payment would come from grants/donations.
What would be the best structure for this in your opinion? I am thinking that a charity with trustees might be inflexible and the admin element might become very time consuming and I am wondering if a company limited by guarantee might be more straightforward? But would that be seen as sufficiently not-for-profit to enable grants to be given?
Thank you if you have any expertise here.
