Common questions about school and NGO registration
The registration timeline varies depending on the type of organization and the specific registration framework. Generally, NGO registration takes 2-3 months, while school registration may take 3-6 months due to additional educational requirements and inspections. With Go Wakeel's assistance, we work to expedite the process wherever possible.
The best framework depends on your organization's purpose, size, and long-term goals. For smaller educational initiatives or community-based NGOs, registration under the Societies Act or as a Trust may be suitable. For larger organizations with significant funding needs, Section 42 company registration might be more appropriate. Our experts will assess your specific situation and recommend the most suitable option.
Yes, registered organizations can receive foreign funding, but additional permissions may be required. After your initial registration, you may need to register with the Economic Affairs Division (EAD) and obtain a Non-Objection Certificate (NOC) for receiving foreign funding. Our team can guide you through this additional process once your primary registration is complete.
After registration, organizations must maintain compliance with various requirements, including annual returns, financial audits, and activity reports to the relevant authorities. Schools may also need to comply with educational standards and periodic inspections. Go Wakeel offers post-registration compliance services to help you meet these ongoing obligations.
