To offer you the best experience, we are restructuring the Purposely platform. We’re working hard to make this website available again soon. If you need any guidance to add your social/environmental mission in your articles of association, please get in touch with Social Enterprise UK and we will do our best to help you
ClosePurposely is for founders who are using or considering the company limited by shares legal structure and who want to embed their purpose. This tool guides you through the steps necessary to create your company articles, and embed purpose into the DNA of your business. The final customised articles have been drafted by law firm Bates Wells, and can be submitted to Companies House.
Business leaders are waking up to the power of purpose for their companies: a clear purpose can drive employee satisfaction and attract customers; and it can help founders build a business that reflects their values and goals. Join the growing number of UK companies with a purpose beyond profit.
