Set up your not-for-profit under a company structure

A Special Purpose Company is one way of setting up your not-for-profit organisation. Basically, a Special Purpose Company allows you to set up your organisation as a private entity limited by shares. This means you will have shareholders and directors, and your organisation’s primary purpose will be to make a profit (i.e. paying dividends to your shareholders). A Special Purpose Company must apply its income to promoting charitable purposes, prohibit distributions to its members and paying fees to its directors, and make its directors approve all other payments the company makes to them.

As part of our fixed-fee package for Special Purpose Company Set Up, our expert lawyers will help you set up your not-for-profit under this company structure.

The package includes:

• An initial consultation with a Sprintlaw lawyer
• Registration of 1 special purpose not-for-profit company with ASIC
• Drafting a constitution including a charitable purpose for your organisation
• Applying for ACN registration for 1 business
• Applying for ABN registration for 1 business
• An electronic company register pack, including the Certificate of Registration, Constitution, Share Certificates, Copy of Form 201, Register of Members and all required resolutions and consents

Our packages for Special Purpose Company Set Up start at $2097 + GST. This includes setting up your Special Purpose Company, phone calls with our expert lawyers who’ll guide you through the process, and all the documents you’ll need. This price also includes the initial government fees to set up your company.
