Who is the non-profit organization for

The non-profit organization is not a commercial company. It is suitable for any project with a non-profit objective — culture, sport, social, education, defense of interests — whatever the sector.

Suitable if you…

  • Carry out an associative, cultural or sporting project
  • Do not aim to distribute profits
  • Are at least 3 founding members
  • Look for a recognized structure without capital
  • Carry out an activity of general interest

Less suitable if…

  • You want to distribute profits
  • Your main activity is commercial
  • You are alone or with two carriers

Consider it SARL or the SA.

Luxembourg law requires a minimum of 3 founding members to constitute an ASBL.

The non-profit organization is in principle exempt from income tax if it pursues a disinterested goal. Ancillary commercial activities may, however, be taxed. Fidustra supports you on these aspects during the incorporation.
