Company secretarial services ensure your business complies with the Companies Act of South Africa.
This includes maintaining company records, filing annual returns with CIPC, preparing shareholder
and director resolutions, and keeping your statutory register up to date.
Private companies are not legally required to appoint a company secretary. However, certain public
companies and state-owned companies must have one. Many private companies still use outsourced
company secretarial services to stay compliant and avoid penalties.
Your PIS determines some of your compliance obligations under the Companies Act. It is calculated
using factors such as turnover, number of employees, debt, and shareholders. A higher PIS score
may mean your company is subject to stricter requirements, such as an independent review or audit.
If your annual returns are not filed, your company can be placed into deregistration by CIPC. This
means you lose your company’s legal status, which can create major problems for banking, contracts,
and tax compliance. Reinstating a company can be costly and time-consuming, so it’s best to keep
filings up to date.
Company secretarial services take care of compliance obligations from CIPC filings to maintaining
company registers and preparing resolutions so you can focus on running your business. This
ensures peace of mind, avoids penalties, and keeps your company legally compliant.
Any change to directors or shareholders must be formally recorded and filed with CIPC. This requires
submitting the correct forms and supporting documents, such as resolutions or share transfer
agreements. If not done correctly, your company records may be out of date, which can cause
compliance issues later.
