To create your association, we recommend that you have at least 3 members, so you can proceed with a vote. Being 3 is not mandatory, but you will need to be sales figure<\/strong> 2 people.<\/p>

As founder(s), you'll obviously need to motivate potential future members to actively join your association, so that you can carry out your organisation's missions.<\/p>

You will need to make sure that you will be able to find enough members<\/strong> for the smooth running of your association.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Associations are a legal form reserved for a group of several members carrying out non-profit activities together. It is also referred to as a\u00a0\"but id\u00e9al.\"<\/strong>\u00a0If, on the other hand, you want to make a profit, other legal forms<\/strong><\/a> will be better suited to your needs, since you won't be able to use the association legal form.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The bylaws<\/strong> is an important step in the creation of your association, since they are its rules and regulations. These rules are important because they provide the legal basis for an association, i.e. the legal validity<\/strong> of the association will not be established until it has duly registered bylaws.<\/p>

These rules must be followed, so be as precise as possible to avoid confusion later on. Take inspiration from other associations' bylaws to create your own, and also bear in mind the potential evolution<\/strong> of your association.<\/p>

To make your association project a success, you'll need to determine :<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
