CIPC Services for South African Businesses

From registering a new company to keeping an existing one in good standing, we handle your CIPC filings accurately and on time.

CIPC compliance

Keep your company in good standing.

The Companies and Intellectual Property Commission (CIPC) registers companies and keeps the official record of their details. Every company has ongoing filing obligations to keep that record current.

Missed annual returns, outdated director details or missing beneficial ownership information can lead to penalties — and ultimately deregistration. We keep your company record accurate so it never becomes a problem.

A company that does not file its annual returns risks being deregistered.

FAQ

What happens if I do not file annual returns?

Late filing attracts penalties, and a company that does not file may be deregistered.

Can you take over our company secretarial filings?

Yes. We can manage your ongoing CIPC filings and keep your record current.
