The forms, filings and certificates, handled.
Starting and running a company in South Africa comes with a lot of paperwork. We handle the registrations, renewals and certificates with CIPC, SARS, the CSD and B-BBEE agencies, so your business stays in good standing and ready for tenders.

From name reservation to a registered company.

We register your company with CIPC and make sure every document is submitted and approved.

We reserve your company name and check it meets the legal requirements.

Questions
About business administration.
How long does it take to register a company?
It depends on CIPC turnaround times and whether your preferred name is available. We will give you a realistic timeline when we start.
Do I need a B-BBEE certificate or an affidavit?
Smaller businesses can often use a sworn affidavit instead of a full verification certificate. We will tell you which applies to you.
