The following are some examples of sport national governing bodies that are registered as companies limited by guarantee. This selection is a bit Wales orientated but that's because of where I live. British Mountaineering Council, Ramblers Association, Lawn Tennis Association, Swim Wales,Hockey Wales, Welsh Althletics, Welsh Cycling, Welsh Badminton, Welsh Rugby Union, ... the list goes on and on. Someone could make similar lists for the other home nations.
In the caving and mine exploring world there are a few large clubs set up as companies, and some access control bodies like Charterhouse Caving Company and Cave Access Ltd. My climbing club owns four huts and, hey, it's a company too! Even the PDCMG is trying to turn itself into a company.
Presumably all of the above and many more similar bodies, did what they did for good reasons of which BCA seems blissfully unaware.
