Ways to Register a Company in South Africa

Below are the two ways you can register your business in South Africa:

Register with CIPC – The DIY Route

The Companies and Intellectual Property Commission (CIPC) provides an online Bizportal where you can handle everything from company registration to tax number applications. Here’s what you’ll need:

1. Register an Account: Create your CIPC account through the Bizportal.
2. Reserve Your Company Name: Choose your business name (optional but recommended) and reserve it for R50 online.
3. Submit Your Documents: Complete the necessary forms, such as the Notice of Incorporation, and submit your documents.
4. Pay the Registration Fee: For a private company, you’re looking at R125 or R175 if you’re reserving a name.

While this is a great option if you want hands-on control, it can take a bit of time if you’re not familiar with the process.
