Company registration in South Africa — R850, done for you
My Company Registrations handles company registration in South Africa entirely online — from CIPC filing to your SARS tax number — for a single R850 fee.
You answer a few questions and upload certified ID copies. We reserve your name, register the company with CIPC, get your SARS tax number and send you the documents.

What you'll need to hand
Not much. Everything except the ID copies is just typing.
For each director
Directors are the people who manage the company.
- A certified copy of their ID. SA ID card, front and back, or the photo page of a green ID book. A photo or PDF is fine.
- Their ID number, mobile and email. Exactly as on the ID.
A certified copy is a photocopy that a police station or commissioner of oaths has stamped as a true copy of the original.
For the company
Typed into the application. No documents needed.
- A preferred name and a backup. Up to four names help if yours are taken.
- An address. Your home address works if you don't have a business one.
- One sentence about what the company will do.
- Who owns what. Shares as percentages. We add it up for you.

How long does company registration take?
Typical turnaround
3–5 working days
It's a typical time, not a promise. CIPC sets the pace, and we can't hurry it.
What we can do is make sure your application is clean when it gets there.
What keeps it quick
- A complete application. Every field filled in, nothing left for us to chase.
- A backup name or two. If your first choice is taken, we move straight on.
- Clear certified ID copies. All four corners visible, easy to read.
- Details that match the ID. Names and ID numbers exactly as printed.
What can slow it down
- Your first-choice name is taken. A backup helps, and none at all means starting again.
- A blurry or uncertified ID copy. We'll ask you for a new one.
- Details that don't match the ID. We check for this before we submit.
- CIPC is busy. That part is out of our hands.
Why people choose us over doing it themselves
Prefer to do it yourself? You can, and CIPC's own fee is lower. Our R850 pays for the preparation, checking and follow-up. See the honest comparison →

What does the R850 include?
Company name reservation, CIPC registration, your Memorandum of Incorporation, your registration documents, a SARS tax registration number, share certificates and digital delivery.
Two things sit outside it: certifying your ID copies, and courier if you’d like printed copies.
How long does it take?
Typically 3–5 working days from when you pay. CIPC sets the pace, and a name that’s already taken can add time. That’s why we ask for backup names.
What documents do I need?
A certified copy of each director’s ID. Everything else you type into the application.
Can I be the only director and owner?
Yes. A Pty Ltd can have one director, who can also own all the shares. Choose 1 director and give them 100%.
Do I need a business address?
No. Your home address works if you don’t have a business address.
Can I register something other than a Pty Ltd?
Online, we register private companies (Pty Ltd). It’s the most common structure for small South African businesses. Not sure it’s right for you? Call us and we’ll talk it through.
What happens after my company is registered?
You receive your Certificate of Incorporation, MOI, share certificates and SARS tax number digitally, and you can start trading. After that come two ongoing to-dos: annual returns, and a Beneficial Ownership declaration with CIPC. We can file the Beneficial Ownership one for you.
Just registered? There's one more filing to know about.
CIPC needs to know which real people own or control your company. We prepare and submit it for R590.
