Pinpoint gaps
Map your next steps

Don't get caught unprepared.
Deregistration Risk
Non-compliance can see your society removed from the register.
Funding Impact
Many grants and contracts require confirmed registration.
Officer Liability
Non-compliant governance exposes office holders to personal risk.
Reputation Damage
Failing to meet legal standards undermines trust.
Is there a catch?
No, just the first step
done right.
In minutes, you’ll know exactly where you stand, what’s missing, and how to get on track before the fast approaching deadline.
Can’t we do this ourselves?
Mistakes cost more than prevention.… and most DIY attempts get delayed or rejected.
What if members don’t approve the new rules?
We help prep a member-friendly summary, FAQs, and meeting scripts to ease approval.
We’re a small club — is this worth it?
Absolutely. Losing your legal status could affect funding, tax, even your name.
What happens if the Toolkit shows we need changes?
You’ll have a clear list of gaps. Canterbury Legal offers a range of fixed-fee packages that can handle as much or as little of the process as you want.
