CIPC, or the Companies and Intellectual Property Commission, is the official government body in South Africa responsible for company registration, business name reservation, and intellectual property management.
It operates under the Department of Trade, Industry and Competition (DTIC) and facilitates online company incorporation, annual return filings, and trademark or patent registrations. Through the CIPC portal, entrepreneurs can easily register a new company, maintain compliance, and access essential corporate records digitally.
CIPC company registration is the official process of legally incorporating a business in South Africa through the Companies and Intellectual Property Commission (CIPC). It involves submitting an online application with company details, director information, and supporting documents to obtain a registration certificate and unique company number.
Once registered, the CIPC system automatically allocates a Tax Reference Number via SARS integration.
Any individual or group planning to start a business in South Africa can apply for CIPC company registration. This includes South African citizens, foreign nationals with valid identification, entrepreneurs, startups, and existing business owners who want to formalize their operations.
