STEP 1: Company Details

Current Step

Tips:

Start by selecting your entity type — this determines the correct registration number format.
Use the exact company name from your official CIPC documents — avoid abbreviations or nicknames.
If you can't find your paperwork, search your company on the CIPC website to retrieve your registration details.

STEP 2: Share Details

Pending

Tips:

Your certificate number is printed on your share certificate — usually near the top corners. If this is your only company, the default certificate number is 001.
The issue date is the original date shares were first issued, not today's date or the print date.
Most small companies use "Ordinary Shares" as their share class — if you're not sure, that's usually the safest choice (you can verify this later on your CIPC profile).

STEP 3: Beneficial Owner(s)

Pending

Tips:

South African ID numbers must be 13 digits with no spaces or dashes (example: 9012026293085).
Ensure all shareholder percentages add up to 100% — submissions may be rejected otherwise.
Add everyone who owns 5% or more of your company or has significant control over decisions. You'll need their ID numbers, contact info, and ownership percentages (they must add up to 100%).
