Company Deregistration
Close Your Company the Right Way — CIPC Deregistration Made Simple
Shutting down your business? We’ll handle the official deregistration with CIPC — quickly, legally, and stress-free.
Whether you’re no longer trading, restructuring, or just want to close your company officially, you can’t ignore the paperwork. If a company stays active on the CIPC system, you may still be liable for annual returns, penalties, or SARS complications — even if you're not operating.
At Smartbook, we help you legally deregister your company so that it’s fully removed from the CIPC database — no more admin, no future surprises.

We Contact You – Our team prepares all required resolutions, affidavits, and supporting documents, and submits them to CIPC.
Get Deregistered – We follow up with CIPC until your company is fully deregistered and provide confirmation once complete.
