Not For Profit

Not for Profit Organisations (NPO) are bodies that do not distribute surplus funds to owners or shareholders. Instead, they use them to help pursue their goals. Examples of NPOs include charities, trade unions, and public arts organisations. In the UK, the profits of the company (also referred to as the trading surplus) must be invested in achieving these goals and not distributed to the company's members.
