Company Registration in Benoni: Fast, Affordable and Done Right

Registering a company gives your business a legal identity, limited liability for its owners and the credibility that banks, suppliers and clients expect. The CIPC paperwork is simple when it's done correctly, and slow when names, IDs or shareholdings don't match.

We prepare and submit your application online, check every detail first, and send your registration documents when they're issued. There's no office visit and no queue, and we work with founders across Benoni, Boksburg, Brakpan, Springs, Kempton Park and the rest of the East Rand.

Company registration from R600. This covers name reservation, CIPC registration, your registration certificate, the Memorandum of Incorporation (MOI) and director and shareholder set-up.

Types of Companies We Register

Private company (Pty) LtdThe most common choice for small and medium businesses, freelancers, consultants and start-ups. Its shares can't be offered to the public.
Non-profit company (NPC)For charities, community organisations, churches and other bodies set up for a public benefit or cultural purpose.

New close corporations can no longer be registered, so a Pty Ltd is the usual choice. Not sure which structure suits you? Ask us before you apply.

Shareholders: Your Rights and Selling Shares

Shareholder rightsUnder the Companies Act 71 of 2008 and your MOI, shareholders can generally vote on major decisions, receive dividends when they're declared, access certain company records and share in assets if the company is wound up.
Selling sharesA Pty Ltd can't offer its shares to the public, and transfers are restricted by the MOI and any shareholders' agreement. Usually the board approves the transfer, a transfer agreement is signed, the share register is updated and a new share certificate is issued. Existing shareholders often have a first right to buy.

We prepare share certificates and update your registers as part of our compliance services. A well-drafted MOI and shareholders' agreement avoid most disputes later.
