Fundraising query!?

[Elizabeth S]

I was wondering whether it is legal to fundraise for a business? I currently run a service that provides free revision notes for students and would like to raise some money to so I can add to the service I run, hire some staff and pay myself a wage.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Sure, you can fundraise - you just can't claim you are a charitable organization, and the people donating can't deduct their contributions on their taxes.
