Hello all.
I am here becasue I am trying to open a Spirtual retreat and education center and a Ministry(i don't like to term “church”) focused on teaching empowerment, accountability, sustainability and self awareness.
I also want to write a book…which is really already written, but where to go from here.
My challenge is- what status should it have as a not for profit or profit.
Being a rebel or sorts, I have an issue (personally) with authority and being told what to do (as my Mother will attest)
If it is a not for profit, I feel that the “man” (lol) would have alot of control over many aspects of the business, and being that it is spiritual work, I have an issue with more taxation which would limit the philanthropic work and solicitation for donations that the work would need…
So…..HELP…..
I called a non profit attorney and talked for 10 minutes, he ssent me a bill for 280.00 and Istill have no answers…lol
I am a Pisces..details are not my strong suit, and this is the part I did not like about my business the first time…. I would very much appreciate the insight of entrepreneurs such as yourselves…maybe a Capricorn or Virgo(just kidding!)
Thanks in advance,
Marianne
