Benefits of Incorporated Trustees Registration

Distinct Legal Identity: Once registered, the organization becomes a separate legal entity, independent of its founders and trustees. This ensures that the organization can own assets, sign contracts, and enter agreements in its own name.
Reduced Personal Risk for Trustees: Trustees are not personally liable for the debts or liabilities of the organization, except in cases of fraud or financial mismanagement.
Eligibility for Grants & Donations: Many local and international donors require organizations to be legally registered before providing funding.
Operate a Corporate Bank Account: A registered Incorporated Trustee can open a corporate bank account in the organization's name.
Legal Protection & Dispute Resolution: The organization is protected from identity theft and unauthorized use of its name. It can sue or be sued in its corporate name, providing a legal framework for resolving disputes.
