Frequently Asked Questions
Important questions before forming a Section 8 Company.
A Section 8 Company is a company formed for eligible charitable or socially beneficial objects, with its income intended to promote those objects rather than being distributed as dividends to members.
It may generate lawful income through eligible activities, but that income should be applied towards its approved objects and operations.
The structure is not intended for distributing dividends to members. Income and resources are expected to support the organisation's stated objects.

Give the mission a structure capable of carrying it responsibly.
