What is the legal Structure of Believe in Scotland?
Answer
Believe in Scotland operates as a campaign that is managed by the pro-independence business network Business for Scotland Ltd.
A limited company called Believe in Scotland Ltd (BiS Ltd) has been set up with a view to give more legal brand protection to Believe in Scotland. This company exists and can be found on the Companies House website, however it is not used for trading purposes. Business for Scotland Ltd acts as a secretariat to the Believe in Scotland campaign, managing the creation and distribution of campaigning materials etc.Â
Should a second referendum or a de facto referendum be called BiS Ltd will immediately be activated and Believe in Scotland will perform the role of Lead Campaign Group previously fulled by the now defunct Yes Scotland.
