Questions
How long does it take?
Most Starter registrations are done in about 7 working days. CIPC sets the pace, and a rejected name adds a few days while we reserve your next option.
Are the CIPC fees included?
Yes. The R175 CIPC fee for the name reservation and registration is inside the price, not added later.
How many directors do I need?
One is enough. You can add more directors and shareholders in the application.
Can a foreigner register a company?
Yes. Foreign directors need a passport, and CIPC now asks for a foreigner assurance check, which we can do for you.
What happens after registration?
Your documents land in your client portal and inbox. From then on we remind you before every annual return so the company stays in good standing.
