**Status:** Interactive v1 live (client-side) · 2026-09-04
**Cluster:** 16 · NGO, society, trust, guarantee  
**Last reviewed:** 2026-09-04  
**Instrument type:** Decision checklist (qualification sheet)

This sheet is published content. It is **not** a determination by a mandate-holder. Zatra prepares and coordinates; this is not legal advice and names no advocate.

## Why this magnet exists

Map purpose and foreign involvement to NGO, society, trust or company limited by guarantee before you pick a registrar.

## Qualification fields (fill before you contact the desk)

| Field | Your note |
|:---|:---|
| **Purpose** | |
| **Foreign involvement** | |
| **Suspected structure** | |
| **Suspected registrar** | |
| **Trading intended?** | |

## Orientation checks (self-serve)

1. **Purpose first.**
2. **Foreign overlays.**
3. **Registrar follows structure.**
4. **No invented fees.**

## What this sheet deliberately does not do

- Issue a structure opinion as counsel
- Replace RITA or BRELA
- Interactive v1 is live on the resource page — deepen Structure Selector
