Company registration and secretarial services across Cape Town
A company that is not properly registered, structured, and maintained is a company that is exposed. We handle every CIPC obligation — from the moment your company is formed to every annual return and amendment that follows.
Company secretarial services for new and existing businesses
Registering a company in South Africa involves more than submitting a name to CIPC. The process requires careful planning — choosing the right company structure, reserving a name that meets CIPC requirements, drafting a Memorandum of Incorporation, and ensuring that directors and shareholders are correctly captured from the outset.
Getting it right at registration avoids costly amendments, compliance issues, and delays further down the line. At Deon Poolman Professional Accountants (DPPA), we manage the full registration process from start to finish — so your company is correctly formed, properly documented, and ready to trade.
Our company registration service includes:
Changes to your company. Handled correctly.
As a business grows and evolves, changes to its structure are inevitable. Directors resign or are appointed. Shareholders transfer or sell their shares. Company names change. Registered addresses move. Each of these changes must be formally lodged with CIPC — and each comes with its own documentation requirements, timelines, and potential complications.
Failing to update CIPC records promptly and correctly can result in non-compliant annual returns, disputes between shareholders, and complications with banks, suppliers, and SARS.
We manage all CIPC amendments accurately and without delay.
Our amendment services include:
Stay compliant. Year after year.
Two of the most frequently overlooked compliance obligations for Cape Town companies are the annual return submission to CIPC and the Beneficial Ownership register — both of which carry significant penalties for non-compliance.
Every company registered with CIPC must submit an annual return within a set period after its anniversary date. Failure to submit results in deregistration — which can have serious consequences for contracts, banking, and tax standing.
The Beneficial Ownership register, introduced under amendments to the Companies Act, requires companies to declare the natural persons who ultimately own or control the company. Non-compliance is a criminal offence. We manage both obligations as part of our ongoing secretarial service.
This includes:
