A Charitable Incorporated Organization (CIO) is a legal form available to charitable organizations in England and Wales (and in Scotland since 2011) that provides similar rights and benefits as limited companies, but without the need to register as a company or follow Companies Act regulations.
CIO stands for Charitable Incorporated Organization. It is a type of incorporated organization designed for non-profit and charitable enterprises in the United Kingdom, allowing them to take legal actions and own property while providing liability protection for trustees and members.
