Annual Returns, Beneficial Ownership and Company Changes
Every registered company must submit an annual return to the Companies and Intellectual Property Commission (CIPC) every year — and since 2024, your beneficial ownership must be filed before any annual return is accepted. Miss them and deregistration follows: frozen bank accounts, rejected tenders, blocked funding. We keep you in good standing at fixed prices.
