FAQs
Is this the same as an NGO?
“NGO” describes a type of mission, not a single legal structure. Depending on your objectives, either Incorporated Trustees or a Company Limited by Guarantee may be the better fit, we can advise which.
Can the organisation earn income?
Yes, subject to applying that income toward its stated objectives rather than distributing it to members.
