Start a Non-Profit

Forming a non-profit corporation is a great way to help improve your community and support a cause. Being a non-profit who has filed for tax-exempt status, makes you eligible to receive grants and to avoid being taxed by the IRS. Plus, it gives you the advantage of having people donate money to you, that may be tax deductible to them. This could give you an edge over other for-profit businesses and help you raise money.

If you are starting a not for profit business, there are several steps the Internal Revenue Service requires you to take initially:

• Ensure that your non-profit business serves a "charitable purpose"
• Register the business with your state
• Register for an Employer Identification Number with the Internal Revenue Service
• Register for non-profit tax exemption with the Internal Revenue Service

In addition to completing your business plan, we can make sure you’re acquainted with all of the paperwork you would need for your business registration and we can help you prepare your non-profit 501c (3) application for tax exemption.

When you work with us, we will ask you the right questions and complete your ready-to-go IRS packet in no time. All you need to do is purchase the non-profit corporation option in addition to your business plan option.

When you're ready to start, pick your business plan option, add the non-profit package and let’s get started!
