Process of Business Registration in South Africa
In either of the job application scenarios or a foreign
company that creates branches in South Africa and establishes a local unit, it
is necessary to complete the South African business registration process for
Pty Ltd.
Reservation of the Business Name
Before Pty Ltd is registered, the desired name must be
approved and saved. Suggested names (up to three) are checked with the name
registrar because they do not have a similar or comparative name and the
proposed name is not offensive. The registration office then confirms the
reservation of the name, which is valid for 2 months.
Private Company Ltd Incorporation
Only when the proposed name is approved and preserved can
the actual registration of the company be processed. The newly created company
is then assigned a registration number.
Pty Lyd's registration forms are:
- Encounter (cf. 14.1):
- Statute (CoR 15.1 A-E)
In addition, registration must be agreed with the competent
authorities:
- Revenue recipient responsible for income tax, income tax, value added tax (VAT);
- Unemployment Insurance Fund (UFI);
- Regional Service Council (R.S.C.).
Other
authorities that may require registration are local regulatory authorities and
/ or health authorities.
If changes are
made to the registered closed corporation, a CIPC notification is required.
Changes may include, for example, participation or changes in the accountant or
postal address of Pty Ltd. Accordingly.
It is advisable
to think carefully about the choice of name, as there are no other changes to
the name after the registration.
