The Non-Commercial Entity
A non-commercial Entity is a type of organization that mainly runs non-commercial activities (no profit) and is enrolled in the Single Register of the Third Sector (RUNTS).
- Types of associations included
Non-commercial entities in Italy include organizations for social promotion, volunteering, philantropic entities, associative networks, social co-op and companies etc.
- Permitted activities
Non-profit organizations in Italy can therefore run business activities, but only in a secondary way and with the ultimate goal of raising funds for its social purposes. The main non-profit activity must be of general interest and complying with Art.5 of the Code of the Third Sector (CTS).
