Decide on the Financing tooling / organising agency

OpenCollective doesn’t charge for the platform but there are a number of fiscal hosts in the system, which might.

https://platform6.coop/oc-terms-of-service provides an OC fiscal host that might suit us as they like to see projects move to their own bank account within the year, which suits us, and the costs are very low - basically just the Stripe transaction costs

Rachel to find a suitable host and report back exact costs and requirements.

Noted that we will look into our own entity, bank account etc if no suitable host found

Is this still a live issue now that you've incorporated a CIC?

Platform 6 might be an option but they do explicitly support cooperative enterprises (ie have agree to the 7 cooperative principles).

I guess we no longer need this now we have the CIC.

I’ll shut down the OC bits and pieces and close this ticket now, I think.

As it happens, I’ve archived the OpenCollective entities, rather than deleted them. Maybe we will use them in the future.

Automatically closed - issue fixed for 2 weeks with no activity.
