A Section 8 Company is formed to promote objectives such as education, art, science, sports, social welfare, or charity — with a key condition: any profits or income must be applied toward these objectives and cannot be distributed to members. For larger NGOs, this corporate structure often brings stronger governance and greater credibility with donors, grant-making bodies, and regulators compared to a Trust or Society.
We guide you through structuring, drafting objectives-driven founding documents, and completing incorporation — setting the foundation for subsequent tax-exemption registrations.
We discuss your charitable objectives and confirm a Section 8 Company is the right fit.
The company name is reserved and the required license application is filed.
Founding documents are drafted to clearly reflect the charitable objects and the restriction on profit distribution.
The incorporation application is filed, leading to the Certificate of Incorporation.
