We charge an additional cost for charity-intention non-profits because their articles of incorporation are different from those of non-profits without a charity intention. The articles for charity intention have more complex structures and legal obligations, which require more extensive work and resources from our team. We believe in providing high-quality services to all our clients, and this additional charge allows us to dedicate the necessary time and attention to ensure that chartered non-profits with a charitable intention are well-supported and legally compliant. We appreciate your understanding and look forward to working with you to achieve your charitable goals.

Why Minute Book Matters?
A Minute book is a corporate legal document prepared by our legal and accounting team. As per the corporation act, a Minute book is MANDATORY. The minute book consists of by-laws, share structure & other legal sections. It's REQUIRED to open a bank account. Without it, a corporation is not complete. A Minute book must be presented when a corporation is audited. The next page will skip if you do not choose Minute Book. We left here as optional because many law firms incorporate with us who prepare their own Minute Book.
