Company Secretarial Services in South Africa

Your company's legal records are not optional. CIPC expects your annual returns, directors, shareholding and beneficial ownership to be correct and up to date — and when they are not, your company can be deregistered and directors can be held personally responsible. Maltech-Africa keeps your company's statutory records in order, online, from anywhere.

What is company secretarial work?

Private companies in South Africa do not have to appoint a company secretary, but the Companies Act still requires every company to keep proper records and file on time. That means:

  • filing CIPC annual returns every year
  • updating CIPC when directors, the company name or the address change
  • keeping a share register and issuing share certificates
  • filing the Beneficial Ownership (BOREG) declaration
  • keeping minutes and resolutions of board and shareholder decisions

We do this for you, so your company stays in good standing.

Frequently asked questions

Does my private company need a company secretary?

No, unless your MOI requires one. But your company must still file annual returns, keep registers and keep BOREG up to date — we handle that for you.

What happens if I do not file CIPC annual returns?

CIPC can deregister your company. Reinstating it costs more time and money than filing on time.

Can you help if I live outside South Africa?

Yes. Everything is done online, and we can provide a registered address in South Africa.
