Frequently asked questions

1

What is beneficial ownership

Beneficial Ownership refers to the individuals who directly or indirectly own or control a company, even if their names don’t appear on official documents. CIPC requires all companies to submit this information to help combat money laundering, fraud, and financial crime in South Africa.

2

How often should Beneficial Ownership details be updated?

Beneficial ownership information must be updated whenever there is a change — such as a new shareholder or a shift in control. You’re legally required to keep this information up to date at all times with the CIPC.

3

What happens if I don’t comply with beneficial ownership disclosure?

Failure to submit or update your Beneficial Ownership Register may result in your company being marked as non-compliant, which can lead to penalties, legal consequences, or restrictions on company activities — including delays in getting tax clearance or government contracts.

4

Can a company be a beneficial owner?

Yes — but you still need to trace the ownership all the way to the individual(s) who ultimately control that company. In other words, you must disclose the natural persons behind every corporate layer.

5

Who’s allowed to file this information?

Only company directors or officially authorised representatives can submit the Beneficial Ownership Register. The good news? We’ll take care of the whole process for you, with full support and zero paperwork.
