Company registration creates the legal entity. The company must still keep accurate records and complete the registrations that apply to how it trades.
Keep a core company file
- CIPC registration documents
- Current director and registered-address details
- Share certificate and securities records
- Beneficial Ownership filing records
- Tax and banking correspondence
Add registrations that apply
CSD, B-BBEE, VAT, PAYE, UIF, SDL, COIDA and CIDB are not required in every case. The correct registrations depend on the company’s activities, staff and supplier requirements.
Update the file when details change
Ownership, directors, addresses and tax representatives should be corrected when they change. Keep final documents separately from application receipts.
Important
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.
