How to Start a Non-Profit Business

For those who love to help people, starting a non-profit business can be the best of both worlds. It gives you the opportunity to contribute to your community or even the world - plus allows you to make a good living doing what you love.

Nonprofit businesses can cover a variety of areas. Here are just a few ideas:

• Environmental protection.
• Promotion of the arts.
• Services for the underpriviledged.
• Services for seniors.
• Human societies.

A non-profit business is an operation that attempts to work at cost and does not work to create surplus profits. Employees are paid a salary and the business may also make use of volunteers for daily functions.

To start a non-profit business, you need to (and this step-by-step guide will help you through all this):

• Getting "tax-exempt" and "tax-deductable" status.
• Raise funds and acquire donations.
• Hire and traing staff and volunteers.
• Optional: Make use of government grants.
