NPO Registration

An NPO, or Nonprofit Organisation, is a special type of entity that prioritises its mission over profits. Instead of distributing surplus income to its members or directors, it reinvests these funds to further its community-based or non-governmental objectives. Essentially, it’s an organisation built to make a difference!

Registering as an NPO offers a host of benefits. Not only does it enhance your organisation’s credibility, but it also opens doors to government or corporate funding. Donors and sponsors often trust registered NPOs more, knowing that their contributions are going towards a genuine cause.

It’s simpler than you might think! First, our experts will help you register an NPC (Non-Profit Company) at the CIPC. Once that’s done, we’ll prepare and submit your NPO Online Registration documents to the Department of Social Development (DSD). In a few weeks, you’ll receive your official NPO Registration Certificate. We’re here to guide you every step of the way!

In South Africa, NPOs can apply to be recognised as a Public Benefit Organisation (PBO) with SARS. Once recognised, your organisation can be exempted from paying Income Tax. It’s a fantastic way to ensure more of your funds go directly to your cause. Plus, many donors prefer to support PBO-registered entities for their own tax benefits.

We can also assist with your PBO Registration – Read more about PBO Registration HERE.

You’ll need a minimum of three non-related individuals to serve as office bearers. This ensures a level of checks and balances within the organisation, promoting transparency and trust.

Of course! We’re not just here to help you register; we’re your partners in this journey. From understanding compliance to exploring funding opportunities, our team is always ready to assist. Remember, your success is our mission!

Dont forget to compare the structure of an NPO with that of a Co-operative Registration, for your cause.

The term “NGO” is used globally to refer to various NPOs and NPCs that are not affiliated with any government. An NPO is a government-registered Non Profit Company (NPC), Voluntary Association, or Trust that was founded for a public purpose and whose assets and earnings are not given to its officers or members.
