What is an unincorporated or incorporated club or association?
A club or association is a group of people who agree to act together as an organisation.
There are two types of Clubs and Associations:
- Unincorporated – Not regarded as a legal entity. Usually a collection of people acting together for a common purpose. For example, social club.
- Incorporated - Considered a legal entity that exists separate from its members. It operates within a legal structure and must have a set of rules. For Example, Strata Corporation, sporting club.
To open an account for your club or association, follow the steps below.
Step 1. Setting up the business membership
You'll need at least 2 but no more than 4 Officeholders for this type of membership. Officeholders include for example President, Chairman, Secretary and Treasurer.
