Not for Profit Company Registration

Not-for-Profit Pty Ltd Company (NFP) is a type of special purpose company that is registered with ASIC as a company whose sole purpose is to pursue charitable purposes. A reduced rate on the annual fee payable to ASIC is applicable to this type of company as long as the constitution::

• requires the company to pursue charitable purposes only and to apply its income to promoting those purposes;
• prohibits the company from making distributions to its members and paying fees to its directors; and
• requires its directors to approve all other payments the company makes to them.

On the winding up of a Not-For-Profit company, any assets that are left over after debts have been paid must not be distributed to the shareholders but instead be distributed to another entity with similar objectives, such as a charity.

The Patricia Holdings NFP constitution has been developed mainly to be used as the trustee of an Ancillary Fund – both private and public. If the company is to be registered with the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission (ACNC), please consider setting up a Company Limited by Guarantee; details are provided here.

Patricia Holdings makes setting up a Not-for-profit Pty Ltd company simple. This company type can be ordered online or by completing a manual order form and returning it to us by email.
