I am not a solicitor but I am an accountant with
experience of company
formation. I am willing to arrange this for
Wikimedia UK (whether or not I am on the Board) if they want - the only
cost will be the £20 Companies House
registration fee. I know a friendly JP who has agreed to witness Form 12s
for me in the past so that shouldn't be a problem.
A friendly JP could be good. If possible, I'd like to run things by a
solicitor and make sure we're setting things up in the best way
possible, but it's not worth paying much for, so if everyone's going
to charge large fees it may well be best to just do it ourselves and
get the form witnessed by somebody's friend.
