FAQ

Common questions

Who has to file beneficial ownership at CIPC?+

Every South African Pty Ltd, non-profit and close corporation must lodge a beneficial ownership register under the Companies Amendment Act. Any natural person who directly or indirectly owns 5% or more, or who exercises effective control, must be disclosed.

What does the filing include?+

A calculation of every beneficial owner through the structure, a CIPC BO declaration, a supporting beneficial-interest certificate, and confirmation of filing. You also receive a company copy of the BO register for your statutory file.

We own through a trust — can you still handle it?+

Yes. Ownership through trusts, holding companies or foreign entities requires additional look-through analysis. We surface every natural-person beneficial owner correctly. For complex structures our team will call you to confirm the ownership tree before filing.

How often must beneficial ownership be updated?+

The register must be updated within 10 business days of any change in beneficial ownership (new shareholder, transfer of shares, change of control). We offer monthly maintenance that keeps this current automatically.

What happens if I don't file beneficial ownership?+

CIPC can refuse to accept other filings (annual returns, director changes) until beneficial ownership is up to date. Banks and accountants now routinely ask for the BO certificate when opening or reviewing company accounts.
