Frequently asked questions
1
What is an annual return?
An annual return is a mandatory filing with the CIPC that confirms your company is still active and operating. It’s how your business stays in good standing with the government — even if you’re not trading or making money yet.
2
When must a company file annual returns?
Companies are required to submit an annual return within 30 business days from the day following their registration date, regardless of whether the company has been active. Late submissions are still allowed, but will incur an additional penalty fee.
3
How long does an annual return take?
We’ll file your annual return within 3 business days of receiving your info. Fast, reliable, and 100% online.
4
What happens if I don’t file it?
If you miss your annual return, your company can be flagged as non-compliant or even be deregistered. That means you can lose your company name, your bank account could be frozen, and you won’t be able to apply for funding, tenders, or tax clearance.

What documents do I need?
Usually, just your company registration number and basic company details. We'll guide you through the process step-by-step — no paperwork stress.
