How it works
Register your company without the paperwork headache.
Five steps. About ten minutes of your time. We do the rest.
You tell us about your company and upload certified ID copies. We check everything, handle CIPC and send you your documents.
- 5–10minutes from you
- 3–5working days
- R850once-off
You only pay at the end, and you can save and finish later.
From "I want to start a company" to "it's registered" in five steps
The first two are yours. The last three are ours.
-
1Your part
Complete your application
Tell us about your company and the people behind it.
Choose your company name (with backups), give us an address and add each director. It saves as you go, so you can stop and come back.
-
2Your part
Upload your documents
Provide the required identification and supporting documents.
That’s a certified copy of each director’s ID, as a photo or PDF. Then you review everything and pay R850. Nothing is filed until you do.
-
3Our part
We review everything
We check your information before submission.
We check your details against your ID copies, and we check your names. If something’s off, we tell you before it goes to CIPC.
-
4Our part
We handle the registration
We manage the registration process.
We reserve your name, submit your registration and deal with CIPC. If CIPC has a question, we answer it. You don’t chase anyone.

5Delivered to you

Your completed company documents are delivered digitally.
Your Certificate of Incorporation, MOI, SARS tax number and share certificates, as PDFs. Ready for your bank.
How long does it all take?
Typical turnaround
3–5 working days
That's from when you pay to when your documents arrive. It's a typical time, not a promise. CIPC sets the pace.
Your part takes about 5–10 minutes.
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.
Have these ready and you can finish in one sitting
Not to hand? No problem. Your progress saves as you go, and we'll email you a link to pick it up on any device.

How long does each step take?
Your part takes about 5–10 minutes. Ours takes 3–5 working days, depending on CIPC.
Can I stop halfway?
Yes. Your progress saves as you go. Use "Save & finish later" and we’ll email you a link that works on any phone or computer.
When do I pay?
At the end, after you’ve reviewed everything. Nothing is filed until you pay.
What if something’s wrong with my application?
We check before we submit. If something’s off, we contact you so it can be fixed before it reaches CIPC.
What if my company name is taken?
We check your names in the order you give them and reserve the first that’s available. With at least one backup, there’s no need to start over.
