How to Register a Company in South Africa
How to Register a Company in South Africa: a clear, practical guide from the Digitalx knowledgebase for South African businesses. Part of our Business Registration help.
Overview
Registering a company in South Africa is done through the CIPC (Companies and Intellectual Property Commission). You can do it yourself, or let Digitalx handle the whole process for a fixed R990 so it's done right the first time.
What you'll need
- Certified copy of your ID (or passport for foreign nationals)
- Up to four proposed company names
- Contact and address details
- Director details for everyone on the company
The steps
The process runs like this:
- Reserve a company name with CIPC
- Register the Pty Ltd and lodge director details
- Receive your registration certificate and documents
- Register for tax and any extras (VAT, PAYE) if needed
- Open a business bank account with your documents
