With decades of combined experience, Ability Consultants has been steadfast in its support of charitable and third-sector organisations across the UK.
We understand that sometimes things don’t work out as planned, and the decision to close a not-for-profit organisation can be a difficult one. Whether due to funding challenges, changing priorities, or other unforeseen circumstances, closing a charity, Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO), or Community Interest Company (CIC) requires careful planning and adherence to legal requirements. At Ability Consultants, we offer comprehensive support to guide you through the entire process, ensuring compliance and a smooth transition.

Guiding You Through a Difficult Process
Closing a not-for-profit organisation involves many moving parts, from handling finances to dealing with regulatory bodies. Our experienced team is here to help ease the burden by managing the closure process for you. We provide clear guidance on your legal responsibilities and ensure that all necessary steps are completed, leaving you confident that the closure is conducted in line with the law.
Financial Review and Asset Distribution
One of the key aspects of closing a not-for-profit is conducting a thorough review of your financial situation. This includes ensuring that all debts and liabilities are settled, and any remaining assets are distributed according to your governing document or regulatory requirements. Whether it’s redistributing funds to another charity or handling the sale of physical assets, we ensure that everything is done in compliance with regulations and in a transparent manner.
Regulatory Compliance
We handle all correspondence with regulatory bodies such as the Charity Commission, Companies House, and the CIC Regulator. This includes preparing and submitting the necessary documentation to formally dissolve the organisation. Our team ensures that all statutory requirements are met, including the submission of final financial accounts and annual returns, so you don’t have to worry about missed deadlines or non-compliance.
Support for Trustees and Directors
The closure process can be particularly challenging for trustees or directors, who must ensure that all legal obligations are met while managing their responsibilities to stakeholders and beneficiaries. We provide dedicated support to trustees and directors, ensuring they understand their roles during the closure and helping them fulfill their duties effectively.
Moving Forward
While closing a not-for-profit can feel like the end of a journey, it can also be the start of something new. We’re here to help you transition smoothly, whether you’re looking to start a new project or simply ensuring your organisation’s legacy is preserved.
