How to register a company with our team
To get your business trading successfully, there are a few things we require from you.
Type of company
When registering your company on your behalf, we will need to understand what type of company you wish to register. This will dictate the required documentation and will guide us throughout the process. A completed notice of incorporation is required and contains vital information such as:
- Company Name
Your desired business name should be unique and appropriately dissimilar to another registered company. We can assist in ensuring that your name is not already chosen before moving through to finalise the process with the CIPC.
By doing this, we ensure a smooth process for our clients, free from delays. As the CIPC allows for four name choices to be submitted per application, we recommend that our clients make three additional selections should their original choice be rejected.
- Company address
Every company registered with the CIPC requires a registered address in South Africa. This address does not need to be the physical location of your business but rather where you prefer to receive documentation. Should this address change after the initial company registration, we can assist in processing your registered address amendments.
- Selecting company members
Depending on the type of company you wish to register, we would require a list of incorporators, public officers, directors and shareholders. Details required of these individuals include information such as identity number, place of residence, business address, etc.
Memorandum of Incorporations
At registration, your company will be issued with a standard Memorandum of Incorporation (MOI) that specify the rules that govern the conduct of a company. Should you wish to deviate from this standard draft, you will be required to submit an amended MOI with your application. Our specialists can assist in developing a more fitting MOI that complies with the provisions of The Companies Act of 2008.

The importance of registering your company with CIPC
Registration allows your company to legally participate in the South African economy and be nationally and internationally recognised as a legitimate entity.
Bank accounts can be established with a registered financial institution to better separate personal and business finances. This improves financial management and offers the ability to apply for a business loan. The exposure brought about by CIPC regulations allows for better growth and transparency in operations which is valuable to shareholders and stakeholders. This edge allows for easier growth and scalability.
