Launching an Organization#

You can set up an Organization on Open Collective in much the same way as a regular Collective.

However, you should remember that:

• You will need to have your own bank account
• You will need your own legal entity
• You will have to carry out all administrative tasks within your own team
• You will need to have your own bank account
• You will need your own legal entity
• You will have to carry out all administrative tasks within your own team

If you are not sure you are able to manage your project's finances or admin effectively, you should seriously consider applying to a Fiscal Host.
