Setting up for success: charities and trading subsidiaries

Charities are increasingly looking to trade to generate income in light of rising costs and reducing income streams.  

When you decide to do this by setting up a trading subsidiary, what do you need to be thinking about? 

 It is imperative that trustees and senior executives understand the expectations of the Charity Commission so that this can be done in a way that does not risk regulatory intervention.
