How much does it cost to register a company at CIPC?

How long does company registration take in South Africa?
With a name: usually three to seven business days end to end, depending on CIPC volumes. A number company without a name reservation is often registered within one to three business days.
What do I need to register a company?
Certified ID copies of every director and incorporator, an address for the company, and your proposed names. Our questionnaire collects everything in one pass.
Do I need a name for my company?
No. You can register with the enterprise number as the name and trade under a different brand, or add a formal name later for R50 plus a name change filing. Many owners start as a number company to register faster.
Does the price include the BEE certificate?
Small businesses under R10 million turnover do not need a BEE certificate; a sworn affidavit is free at any police station or commissioner of oaths. We include the guide and the affidavit wording so you walk in prepared.
What happens after my company is registered?
Three things quickly: open a business bank account, file beneficial ownership at CIPC, and diarise your annual return. Our next steps sheet covers all three, and we can file the beneficial ownership for you.
