Questions people actually ask

Section 8 company, trust or society — which is best?

A Section 8 company has the strongest governance and the highest credibility with institutional donors and CSR funders, because it files with the MCA. A trust is cheapest and quickest. A society sits between the two.

Can a Section 8 company distribute profit?

No. Income must be applied to promoting its objects, and no dividend may be paid to members. That restriction is what makes the tax exemptions available.
