A company registration is easier to prepare when the director, address and ownership information is complete and consistent. The final requirements can differ depending on the company structure and the people involved.
Information for every proposed director
- Valid South African identity document or passport information
- Current mobile number and email address
- Physical residential address and contact details
Company information to decide first
- A few proposed company names
- A short description of the planned business activity
- The company’s intended registered address
- Shareholding and beneficial ownership instructions
Documents for selected supporting services
CSD, B-BBEE, CIDB, tax-support, banking applications and other services can require additional information. Request the checklist for your selected package before submitting documents.
Keep the details consistent
Names, identity details, addresses and ownership percentages should match across the company’s records. Inconsistent information can create corrections and delays later.
Requirements and processing times depend on complete documents, system availability and the relevant authority. This general information is not an official verification of your company’s status.
