Inc. versus Co.

I am having enormous difficulties assembling a committee for my opera company. Especially a treasurer and a secretary. I have reserved the name as an incorporated association, but I am thinking about ditching this in favour of a simple business name - a company - which could be run by one or two people.

What are people's thoughts either way? I am trying to do the right thing by going Inc.... you know, keeping the whole thing above-board and accountable, and avoiding the stigma of people thinking I'll bunk with the profits and vacation in the Bahamas for a year.

(although...)

But if I can't get a committee together, what other option do I have? Wouldn't it be simpler to run it as a busniess?

Well if your Incorporated under the act - this protects each and every members private assets ( of course there are other factors such as negligence ect. - you won't be protected from).

As a registered bussiness name you are still liable as a person or individual.

As a company, Pty., or whatever - you think finding a Treasure and Secretary is hard .... this is a mine field and take the advice - get a Lawer!

You will have less hasles as an Incorporated Association -
I know!! - I have anumber of 'T' shirts for this!!!!

Best of Luck
