Open a checking account
Obtain your personal Federal Employer Identification Number, and we provide you with all of the information you need to open a church bank account, enabling you to take tax-deductible tithes and offerings. This number is used to identify your corporation and is needed for business and federal purposes. This number may also be known as a Tax ID Number.
Many ministers believe that they are only able to plant a church if they have either been ordained or licensed as ministers of the gospel. However, after establishing a church on a solid legal foundation, you can become ordained right through the very church you started. We provide all of the needed paperwork that empowers your ministry to ordain ministers, including the founder.
Creating a For-Profit Arm
Generate revenue through a church-owned business
The Launch Suite™ was created to help pastors and ministry leaders all across America overcome the struggles they face every day. Many have watched their dreams and visions for the church fade due to limited finances. However, Launch Suite™ challenges and empowers ministry leaders to dream big and helps move visions forward to fruition.
What is a for-profit arm?
Under Section 502 of the Internal Revenue Code, a ministry can establish a for-profit arm to help earn tax-free income by way of donations and dividends. Do you think this is too good to be true? When done correctly, a for-profit arm can give you options that will empower your church or ministry to grow.
Breaking out of the traditional
Life is too short to be satisfied with the traditional, especially when there are "new wineskins" for this time and season. To add a for-profit arm is to break out of the traditional methods used in times past and to begin carving a new way of doing church business. The days of churches depending solely on giving are over, and you can be one of the first ones to do it!
Won't the ministry pay unrelated business income tax?
Many have asked, "Would the church not have to pay unrelated business income tax?" In short, the answer is, "NO." The for-profit arm is a separate entity. It is an independent business. The power is in the fact that the ministry owns 100% of the issued shares of the business. So, in essence, the ministry gets to control the business and reap 100% of its net profits as a non taxable dividend.
Add a for-profit arm in eight simple steps
Launch Suite™ walks you through eight easy-to-understand steps toward creating a for-profit arm. You will find yourself enabled to not only create a new business, but to manage it properly. As an added bonus, the Launch Suite™ offers real-life examples of successful business ideas that will help to expand your dreams and visions.
Put yourself in a place of faith!
Most churches are stretching their faith by believing God for $1,000.00 in the offering just to pay church rent every month. Why not believe God for more? If you want the Lord to entrust you with a million dollars of income, you must place yourself in a position where you have no other choice but to trust HIM for a million dollars. A for-profit, ministry-owned business is just the way to do it.
Start and operate a successful daycare
Finding quality childcare continues to be a challenge for the average American family, creating a great opportunity for your church or ministry. Your church-run daycare can bring a sizable amount of income to the church and even pay for the church's expenses. This means that you can reach out to the children of your community while earning enough income to pay the church rent or mortgage! From policies and procedures to parent handbooks, budgets, and marketing, Launch Suite™ walks you through the entire process of establishing your childcare center.
