Section 8 Company Registration Consultation

What is Section 8 Company?

A Section 8 Company is a non-profit organization established with the objective of promoting charitable activities, arts, science, education, sports, and other social causes. Unlike other companies, its profits are solely utilized to further these objectives and cannot be distributed among its members. Understanding the concept of a Section 8 Company, along with the required documentation and the incorporation process, is crucial for those looking to establish or engage with such an organization.
