MANCHESTER UNITED FOUNDATION (TRADING) LIMITED was incorporated on 21 March 2006 and has operated continuously since, giving it nearly two decades of corporate history. Its SIC codes cover gambling and betting activities alongside other sport and physical wellbeing classifications, reflecting its role as a fundraising vehicle for the Manchester United Foundation charity rather than a commercial gambling business.

The company scores 85 out of 100, earning an A grade. That reflects its active status, long incorporation history, fully UK-resident board, transparent single-entity ownership, and a clean compliance record with no outstanding charges. It's one of the stronger governance profiles in our database.
