Business registration CIPC 2025 (Free business contracts)

The Companies Act, Act 71 of 2026, determines specific methods of registration of Company names, as well as the use thereof. The name of a Company must be registered with CIPC (the Corporate and Intellectual Property Commission) in Pretoria. The Memorandum of Incorporation must first be signed and then the company name, along with other documents are sent to CIPC for registration. To choose a name, you can reserve a name before registration. Any company may be registered with or without a company name. If a reserved name is not included in the initial application, the company will be registered with its enterprise number. A name may be added at a later stage through a name amendment. A name amendment requires an approved name reservation and a special resolution to effect a change to the Memorandum of Incorporation (MOI).
