You Can Get Compliant — Even If You've Fallen Behind

If your business has been putting off compliance for a while — and the penalties, backlog, or overdue registrations have quietly piled up — you are not alone, and it is not too late.

Many SME owners want to do the right thing and get clean, but freeze at the thought of paying everything at once. Maltech-Africa's Promise to Pay plan exists for exactly this reason: so that wanting to be compliant is enough to get started. You don't need the full amount today. You need a first step.

You're Not Being Judged Here — You're Being Helped

We work with business owners every day who are carrying compliance backlogs, sometimes for years. It happens — priorities shift, cash flow gets tight, paperwork gets pushed to "next month" one too many times. None of that disqualifies you from getting sorted now.

What matters is that you're ready to move forward. Here's what that looks like with us:

• Start with what you have — a deposit from as little as 20% gets your compliance work underway immediately. You don't have to clear the backlog in your head before we clear it on paper.
• Spread the rest over time — pay weekly, fortnightly, or monthly, in amounts that fit your actual cash flow, not an arbitrary deadline.
• No shame, no lectures — our role is to get you compliant, not to make you feel worse about how long it's been outstanding.
• A clear, honest plan — you'll know exactly what you owe, when, and how the backlog gets resolved, step by step.
• Real progress from day one — work begins as soon as your deposit is in, so you start seeing your compliance record improve immediately, not months from now.

Being behind on compliance can feel heavier the longer it sits. This plan is built to make the first step small enough to actually take.

How It Works

Step 1: Choose Your Deposit

Select a service package (or build your own), add it to your cart, and calculate the total.

• Minimum deposit: 20% of the service value
• Recommended deposit: 30–40% for smoother scheduling

Step 2: Choose Your Payment Frequency

Pick the schedule that fits your business:

• Weekly — smaller, manageable instalments
• Fortnightly — a balanced option with fewer transactions
• Monthly — larger payments, less frequent

Step 3: Confirm Your Agreement

Your payment plan is linked to your client registration and compliance record automatically. Instalments are tracked against your account, and if your cash flow changes, we can adjust the schedule while keeping your commitment on track.

Example Payment Plans

Initial Deposit	Balance	Weekly Plan	Fortnightly Plan	Monthly Plan
R2,280	R5,320	R530 × 10 weeks	R1,064 × 5 fortnights	R1,775 × 3 months
R3,000 (30%)	R7,000	R700 × 10 weeks	R1,400 × 5 fortnights	R2,333 × 3 months
R5,000 (20%)	R20,000	R2,000 × 10 weeks	R4,000 × 5 fortnights	R6,667 × 3 months
R15,000 (30%)	R35,000	R3,500 × 10 weeks	R7,000 × 5 fortnights	R11,667 × 3 months

Figures shown are examples. Your actual deposit and instalments depend on the services you select.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is the minimum deposit for a Maltech-Africa payment plan?

The minimum deposit is 20% of your total service value. We recommend 30–40% where possible, as this generally shortens your payment schedule and makes budgeting easier.

Which services qualify for a payment plan?

Most Maltech-Africa business registration, compliance, and facilitation services can be paid this way. Add your chosen services to your cart to see your deposit and instalment options.

Can I change my payment frequency after starting?

Adjustments can be made if your business cash flow changes — contact us and we'll work out a revised schedule while keeping the overall commitment in place.

What happens if I miss a payment?

Instalments are tracked against your compliance record, so it's important to stay current. If you're facing a temporary cash flow issue, reach out before a payment is due — we'd rather adjust the plan than see it lapse.

Do I get access to services immediately after paying my deposit?

Yes — once your deposit is paid, work begins on your selected services rather than waiting for the full amount.

My compliance has been outstanding for a long time — can I still use this?

Yes, absolutely. This service was created specifically for businesses that have fallen behind, sometimes for years, and want a realistic way back to compliant. There's no minimum or maximum backlog — we just need you ready to start.

I'm worried about penalties I've already accumulated. Will this plan help with that too?

Talk to us about your specific situation — the deposit-and-instalment structure can apply to resolving accumulated penalties and backlog compliance work, not just new registrations. We'll help you understand exactly what's owed and build a realistic plan to clear it.

Your First Step Doesn't Have to Be a Big One

Whether you're just getting started or finally ready to deal with compliance you've been avoiding, you don't need the full amount today — you need a deposit and a plan. Choose your package, calculate your deposit, and pick a schedule that actually works for your business.
