New Company Registration

In terms of the Companies Act, 2008, a company may be registered with or without a company name.

When a company is registered without a reserved name, its registration number automatically becomes the company name. This is the quickest way to register a company, however, it will require a Memorandum of Incorporation (MOI) change once a name is selected.

We can help with this process and will firstly need the following information:

+ Full names of directors
+ Ownership % of each director
+ Certified ID copy of each director
+ Postal and physical addresses of each director
+ Contact numbers of each director
+ Postal and physical addresses of the business
+ Type of business you want to register, private, public, non-profit, etc.
+ At least 3 different names for the business
+ The financial year-end you want for the business

*If you would like to register a non-profit company or a co-operative, please fill in the enquiry form and we will get back to you with a quote.

Change of Company Name

In order to change an existing company name, a name must first be reserved.

Once a name reservation has been approved, the company must lodge a notice of amendment of the memorandum of incorporation (cor15.2). Please note that any changes to an MOI must be accompanied by a special resolution adopted at a shareholders meeting authorising the name change.

**Should all 4 names suggestions already be reserved, or are too similar to existing company names, then a new application will need to be lodged. You will, therefore, have to re-request us to assist and pay another application fee.
