I am trying to resolve account limitations. This account was opened on behalf of a local dog Club, to enable club members to pay for membership and to enter club events online. The club is run by volunteers, it is NOT a charity, and so I am not able to provide a charity number, and it is NOT a business, so I am not able to provide a company registration number. Funds collected via the account are used to organise events for our members – no one takes a wage or receives any form of benefit. I was originally advised to open the account as a ‘not for profit account ‘which I did, but as this seems to only be suitable for charities – which we are not – I was advised to change it to sole trader or individual account. I cannot find a description of these accounts so do not know which would be more suitable for us, and when I try to change to either of these accounts I am unable to do so. Can someone PLEASE send me advise on how to solve this particular problem, and not a generic reply which seems to be all I have had in the past when contacting via email, and is of no help in solving this issue, I have been trying to sort this out now for two weeks and am now tearing my hair out with it 😞 Thank you.
