What a Pty Ltd actually gets you

A private company — "(Pty) Ltd" — is the standard vehicle for a business that expects to make a profit and pay it out to its owners. It is a separate legal person from you: it signs contracts, holds its own bank account, and owns its own assets. That separation is the reason banks, corporates, and government buyers ask for a registration number before they will trade with you.

Registration is one filing with CIPC. It is not a licence to trade in a particular sector, and a CoR14.3 says nothing about whether you are tax compliant, B-BBEE compliant, or graded by a sector regulator. Those are separate jobs, listed further down.

Who should file this themselves

If every director holds a South African ID, you want a standard short-form MOI, and you have a free morning, you do not need us. Filing on CIPC's own portal is lawful and cheaper, and we set out the trade-off honestly on BizPortal vs CIPC Partners.

Hire us when one of these is true:

A director holds a passport rather than an SA ID. The simplified ID-check path cannot process that application — see registering with foreign nationals.
You want share certificates and beneficial ownership settled at incorporation rather than chased later.
You would rather hand over the document prep and have somebody track the filing.

What to have ready

A South African ID or passport for every director
A home or business address in South Africa
Up to four name preferences, in order of preference
A plain description of what the business does

The address becomes the company's registered address on the CIPC record. Use one where post actually reaches you, not a marketing address.

After you order

You complete the guided form, pay, and land in your order workspace. From there you upload supporting documents against a checklist, and follow status changes as we prepare and lodge the filing. Completed documents come back into the same workspace. Timing depends on CIPC processing, which varies — the workspace is the honest answer to "where is my application", not an estimate we invented.

Not included in the price

A bank account. Banks run their own KYC on their own timeline.
Annual returns. They begin at your first anniversary — we file those separately.
VAT and payroll registrations. Turnover and hiring trigger those, not incorporation. See SARS tax registration.
Sector approvals such as CIDB grading or COIDA.

Registration, name reservation, or the filing workspace?

Three URLs that look similar and are not:

This page describes the Pty Ltd product and what it includes.
Name reservations is for holding a name when you are not ready to incorporate. Registration packages already include the name work, so do not buy both.
Register your company is the multi-step filing workspace when you want to start now.

Prices for the SA-citizen, non-SA-citizen, and Premium variants live on packages. We keep the numbers in one place so they cannot drift.
