Company Partners

Introduction

Company Partners helps South African entrepreneurs register a business and get compliant quickly. It handles the paperwork most owners find daunting, from CIPC company registration to tax numbers, B-BBEE affidavits and the certificates needed to trade and win work.

Who it suits

Company Partners fits someone starting a business who wants the registration and compliance side handled properly and fast, rather than navigating CIPC and SARS processes alone.

What you get

  • Company registration through CIPC.
  • Tax registration and clearance support.
  • B-BBEE affidavits and certificates, and other compliance documents.
  • Guidance on what a new business legally needs to trade.

How the cost works

Company Partners charges packaged fees for registration and compliance services rather than a subscription, so you pay for the specific package you need. Check current package pricing for the services you require.

Our take

For a first-time founder, getting registration and compliance done correctly and quickly is worth paying for, because mistakes here cause delays and lost contracts later. A registered, compliant business with a B-BBEE affidavit is also better placed to win tenders and secure funding.
