Start a Ministry-Owned Business

At StartCHURCH, we understand that part of the process of growing your ministry consists of having a business mindset to finance the gospel. Most churches and ministries solely depend on tithes, offerings, and donations. The hope of most pastors and ministry leaders rests in the possibility of adding new, financially strong members who can boost weekly giving. Unfortunately, that rarely happens. If you don’t want to solely rely on tithes and offerings, then a for-profit arm is your solution!

For-profit arm benefits

When it comes to establishing a for-profit arm for your church or ministry, the possibilities for revenue are endless! With a for-profit arm, your church or ministry can:

  • Generate real income in the form of tax-free dividends
  • Create job opportunities for members of the community
  • Financially thrive without having to solely rely on tithes and offerings

START MY BUSINESS

Let us partner with you

We're here to bridge the gap between the call of God on your life and the steps required to help your ministry thrive. With the For-Profit Arm Service, you can provide a means for your ministry to generate tax-free income, so you won’t have to solely rely on tithes, offerings, or donations. We will work with you to help you obtain the following:

Incorporation*

The articles of incorporation provide a strong legal shield, ensuring limited legal liability, and protect you and those involved in your business.

FEIN

With a FEIN, you can open a separate bank account for your for-profit arm. It also provides identification for your organization for business, tax, and federal purposes.

Bylaws*

Bylaws outline the governing structure of your ministry-owned business. They also protect your vision, your business, and any possible staff.

Policies

Essential policies and procedures help establish how your business will be run and can also protect your board of directors and staff.

Stockholder agreement

This document limits the power of the for-profit business board of directors and passes it to your ministry, which is the chief shareholder.

Venture guide

A detailed guide on how to manage a business, including how to issue shares of stock, raise capital, and real examples of how a church-owned business can make the ministry money.
