How to Add a Trading Name (t/a) on CIPC

Many business owners in Benoni and across the East Rand want to operate under a different name from their registered company name. For example, your company may be registered as Smith Holdings (Pty) Ltd but you want to trade as Smith Plumbing Services. This is called a Trading As (t/a) name on CIPC.

To legally add a trading name on CIPC, you need to:

• Reserve the trading name with CIPC through a name reservation application
• Link the approved trading name to your registered company
• Use the trading name consistently on invoices, signage, and marketing materials

Accountants On Point handles the full trading as CIPC registration process for clients across Benoni, Boksburg, Kempton Park, Springs, Brakpan, and Alberton quickly and correctly.

Rights of Shareholders in a Private Company in South Africa

Understanding the rights of shareholders in a private company in South Africa is important before completing your company registration in Benoni. Under the Companies Act 71 of 2008, shareholders in a South African private company have the following rights:

• The right to vote on major company decisions at shareholder meetings
• The right to receive dividends when declared by the board of directors
• The right to inspect certain company records and financial statements
• The right to participate in asset distribution if the company is wound up
• Protection through the Memorandum of Incorporation (MOI)
