SEC Non-Stock Corporation Registration
Complete Incorporation for Foundations, NGOs, Cooperatives, and Non-Profit Organizations
This service provides full incorporation for non-stock corporations such as non-government organizations (NGOs), foundations, cooperatives, religious institutions, civic clubs, and associations under SEC rules. JKNC handles the structure, legal documentation, and eSPARC submission.
Who Is This For?
Religious groups, civic associations, alumni organizations, advocacy groups, schools, cooperatives, and NGOs needing legal personality in the Philippines.
How Long Does It Take?
10–25 business days, depending on completeness of documents and endorsements.
What If I Don’t Have All My Information Yet?
JKNC can help define the purpose, structure, and fill in data gaps to move forward.
Will JKNC Do the Filing/Execution?
Yes. This includes legal drafting, filing, monitoring, and delivery—unless advisory-only is selected.
Will It Be Accepted by Government Agencies and Bodies?
Yes. All outputs comply with the Revised Corporation Code and are legally valid across public and private sectors.
Can Foreign Entities Use This?
Foreigners may serve as trustees under certain conditions but the organization must be organized under Philippine law. JKNC will evaluate eligibility on a case-by-case basis.
Is This Confidential and Protected?
Yes. All founding documents and personal data are kept secure and processed in accordance with the Data Privacy Act.
