What are Private Company Services and what do they cover?

Private Company Services assist with essential business formation and maintenance tasks, including new company registrations and incorporations, acquiring shelf companies, conversions from Close Corporations (CC) to Private Limited (Pty Ltd), financial year-end changes, beneficial ownership declarations, and filing annual returns to keep your company compliant and operational.

What is a shelf company and how can it benefit my business?

A shelf company is a pre-registered entity that's ready for immediate use, allowing you to bypass lengthy incorporation processes. It's ideal for quick market entry, securing contracts, or urgent banking needs without starting from scratch.

Why are beneficial ownership declarations and annual returns crucial for private companies?

Beneficial ownership declarations ensure transparency by identifying true owners to regulators, preventing misuse and aiding compliance. Annual returns maintain your company's good standing with the CIPC, avoiding penalties, enabling access to funding, and supporting seamless business growth.

What are Restorations & Deregistrations services and what do they involve?

These services help businesses revive inactive entities or wind them down properly, including restorations for companies and close corporations to reinstate their legal status, and voluntary deregistrations to formally close operations while ensuring all compliance requirements are met.

Why would a company or close corporation need restoration?

Restoration is essential if an entity has been deregistered due to non-compliance, such as missed annual returns, allowing it to regain active status, access assets, resume trading, and avoid legal penalties or loss of intellectual property rights.

What is voluntary deregistration and how does it benefit a business?

Voluntary deregistration is the process of proactively closing a dormant or no-longer-needed company or close corporation, which simplifies administrative burdens, reduces ongoing fees, and provides a clean exit while protecting directors from future liabilities.

Can I get an arrest off my record?

In some states, law enforcement will eliminate an arrest from an individual’s record automatically if they are not charged. Otherwise, you may need to petition for a finding of factual innocence.

What are Amendments & Corporate Records services and what do they include?

These services handle essential updates and documentation for corporate governance, including director appointments, resignations, and amendments; shareholder changes and updates to share registers; issuing and maintaining share certificates; drafting and filing resolutions; and maintaining statutory records to ensure your company's legal structure remains accurate and compliant.

Why is it important to promptly update director appointments and resignations?

Timely director appointments, resignations, and amendments keep your company's leadership records current with regulatory bodies like the CIPC, preventing legal challenges, ensuring proper accountability, and avoiding disruptions in decision-making or compliance audits.

How does maintaining statutory records and share certificates benefit a company?

Maintaining statutory records and share certificates provides a clear audit trail for ownership and governance, supports smooth transactions like share transfers, demonstrates compliance during inspections, and protects against disputes by preserving historical accuracy.

What does Compliance Administration involve for businesses?

Compliance Administration includes handling ongoing CIPC filings to keep records current, monitoring key compliance deadlines to avoid oversights, and assisting with penalties and non-compliance rectification to resolve issues efficiently and restore good standing.

Why is monitoring compliance deadlines essential for companies?

Regularly monitoring deadlines ensures timely submissions of required documents and reports to the CIPC, preventing deregistration risks, accumulating fines, or operational disruptions that could arise from non-compliance.

How can assistance with penalties and rectification benefit a non-compliant business?

Our support helps navigate penalty assessments, prepare corrective actions, and file necessary rectifications promptly, minimizing financial losses, legal repercussions, and downtime while guiding you back to full compliance.

Can I get an arrest off my record?

In some states, law enforcement will eliminate an arrest from an individual’s record automatically if they are not charged. Otherwise, you may need to petition for a finding of factual innocence.
