PRESENTATION BY
James Maloney, Associate, Farrer & Co
Is it vital for a charity, in today's environment, to have a trading subsidiary to diversify its income streams? What about the tax implications of a trading arm - and do you know what to do with the operating profit? Finally, where charity trading arms compete with business, is it ethical to run a business where you replace paid staff with volunteers, have donated stock and get 80% business rate reductions?
What better way to explore these issues than with other charity leaders who have been there and done it!
