Cintra is legally a company limited by guarantee, regulated by the Companies Acts. It is a membership company, and each member has a liability limited to �1 should the company fail. Membership is open to interpreters, translators and others working with Cintra, subject to approval by the Board of Directors.

Cintra is governed by its members and Board of Directors, according to its Memorandum and Articles of Association and company law. The non-executive directors are elected by Cintra�s members. They give their time voluntarily and are not remunerated beyond a small meeting allowance and travel expenses.

Cintra is a not-for-profit social enterprise. This means that it has no shareholders or owners to whom dividends are paid, and any surplus revenue above that required for financial sustainability is invested in the company�s business development and training activities.
