More than a basic company registration. A compliance setup from day one.
A new company should not only be registered — it should be set up with the right statutory records, ownership documents, beneficial ownership filing and SARS profile guidance so that the compliance foundation is clear from the start.
The key documents and registrations needed for a cleaner company setup.
The exact scope is confirmed after reviewing the client’s requirements, but the package is designed to cover the important statutory and tax setup items commonly needed by a newly registered company.
Company registration
Pty Ltd registration support and CIPC registration documents.
Name reservation
Assistance with reserving a company name where required.
Company tax number
Company income tax reference number support and SARS profile guidance.
SARS public officer support
Guidance or update support for the public officer and SARS representative profile.
Share certificate

Compliance checklist
A basic guide to ongoing annual returns, BO updates and statutory maintenance.
A company registration is only the first step.
Directors, shareholders, beneficial ownership, SARS representation, annual returns and statutory records all affect the company’s compliance position after registration.
Not every company fits a fixed package.
Trust shareholders, holding company structures, multiple shareholders, foreign owners, dormant companies and historical issues may need a custom statutory review.
Choose Another Service →Company records should not sit forgotten after registration. They need to stay accurate, current and controlled.
Statutory compliance is not a once-off event. Director records, shareholder records, beneficial ownership, annual returns, registered addresses and SARS representative details all form part of the company’s ongoing compliance position.
One company record supports multiple compliance obligations.
When CIPC information, ownership records or SARS representation details are outdated, the impact can carry through to banking, tenders, annual returns, beneficial ownership, tax compliance and director authority.
Company registration
The company is registered and the basic CIPC record is created.
Directors and address
Director details, registered office and contact information must stay accurate.
Shareholder records
Share certificates, shareholder records and company registers support ownership control.
Beneficial ownership
Ownership structures must be assessed and filed correctly where BO requirements apply.
CIPC annual returns
Annual returns help keep the company active and prevent avoidable compliance issues.
SARS profile alignment
Public officer and tax profile details should support the company’s tax compliance position.
Outdated company records can create practical business problems.
Incorrect CIPC records may affect banking, tenders, SARS representation, director authority, ownership proof, compliance status and future company changes.
Not sure what needs updating?
AccountWorx can review the statutory position and guide whether the company needs annual returns, BO filing, director changes, shareholder records or a wider compliance review.
Select a Statutory Service →Company records are not only paperwork. They prove authority, ownership and compliance.
Statutory records support practical business requirements such as opening bank accounts, tender applications, SARS representation, director authority, shareholder proof and future company changes.
Accurate company records help prevent avoidable delays.
When directors, shareholders, registered addresses or beneficial ownership records are incorrect or outdated, simple business actions can become difficult. AccountWorx helps identify what needs to be updated and what supporting records should be kept.
Director authority
Director records help confirm who may act for the company.
Ownership proof
Share records and certificates support shareholder control.
Compliance status
Annual returns and BO filings help keep the company records current.
SARS alignment
Public officer and representative details support tax administration.
Statutory records should be reviewed before problems arise.
Waiting until a bank, SARS, CIPC, funder or tender process requests documents can create unnecessary pressure.
Two statutory obligations businesses should not ignore. Beneficial ownership and annual returns need proper control.
CIPC annual returns and beneficial ownership filings are key parts of company maintenance. If these are missed, outdated or incorrectly handled, the company’s records and compliance status may become a problem when the business needs banking, SARS, tender or funding support.
Ownership information must be properly understood.
Beneficial ownership filing is not only a form completion exercise. The ownership and control structure must first be reviewed so the correct persons and supporting records are identified.
- Identify shareholders and beneficial owners
- Review trusts, holding companies or layered ownership
- Confirm required supporting documents
- Assist with BO filing or correction where required
Annual returns help keep the company in good standing.
Annual returns must be maintained to avoid unnecessary compliance problems, deregistration risk and delays when updated company records are needed.
- Review company registration status
- Assist with CIPC annual return filing
- Check whether company records need updating
- Identify related BO or statutory changes required
Annual return filing and BO filing should not be handled in isolation.
AccountWorx can help review whether the company’s directors, registered address, shareholder records, beneficial ownership and SARS public officer details are aligned before or alongside the filing.
A controlled process for statutory requests. From online intake to filing support.
Statutory work should not start with scattered WhatsApps and missing documents. AccountWorx uses a structured process to understand the service required, collect the right information, confirm scope and then proceed with the relevant CIPC or statutory support.
Select the statutory service
The client selects the correct service, such as company registration, director changes, annual returns, beneficial ownership or a compliance review.
Complete the online intake form
The intake form collects company details, contact information, service requirements, director/shareholder information and relevant background.
Upload required documents
Supporting documents may include IDs, company registration documents, resolutions, share records, proof of address, trust documents or shareholder information.
AccountWorx reviews the request
The information is reviewed to confirm whether the service is straightforward, requires additional documents or needs a wider statutory compliance review.
Fee and next step confirmed
The fee, process and any outstanding requirements are confirmed before work proceeds. Complex matters are quoted separately.
Filing or statutory support completed
Once the scope is confirmed and documents are complete, AccountWorx proceeds with the agreed statutory support and provides relevant filing or record feedback.
Statutory requests are reviewed before work begins.
Submitting an online request does not automatically create an engagement. AccountWorx will review the information, confirm the scope, advise any missing documents and confirm the fee or next step before proceeding.
Statutory services must be scoped before work begins. Standard filings and complex company issues are not the same work.
AccountWorx assists with standard company statutory services, CIPC filings, company registrations and compliance setup support. Some matters require review before acceptance, especially where there are disputes, missing records or legal complexity.

- Company registration support
- Name reservation where required
- Company tax number guidance
- Share certificate and register support
- Beneficial ownership filing support for simple structures
- SARS public officer guidance
Review required before acceptance.
Some matters cannot be treated as standard online services. AccountWorx may first review the position and then advise whether the work can be accepted or should be referred elsewhere.
- Missing or inconsistent historical company records
- Deregistration or reinstatement complications
- Unclear shareholder or director information
- Beneficial ownership uncertainty
- Matters requiring legal interpretation or dispute resolution
AccountWorx does not position this service as legal advice or complex company secretarial restructuring.
Where a matter involves legal interpretation, shareholder disputes, director disputes, complex ownership questions or specialist company law advice, AccountWorx may recommend that the client consults an attorney, specialist company secretary or appropriate legal service provider before any statutory filing is attempted.
Fees are confirmed before work proceeds.
Online requests are reviewed first. AccountWorx will confirm whether the matter is standard, requires additional review, or falls outside the normal statutory service scope before starting the work.
Start Online Request →Matters that may need specialist referral or review before acceptance
These matters are not automatically accepted as standard online statutory services. They may require specialist advice, additional review, or referral depending on the facts.
Questions about company registrations, CIPC changes and statutory compliance.
Statutory work should be clear before anything is filed. These answers explain how AccountWorx approaches company registrations, statutory changes, annual returns, beneficial ownership filing and service boundaries.
Can AccountWorx register a new company?
Yes. AccountWorx can assist with company registration support and a compliance setup package that may include name reservation, company tax number guidance, share certificate support, basic company register setup, beneficial ownership filing support for simple structures and SARS public officer guidance.
Is this only a basic CIPC registration service?
No. The AccountWorx approach is compliance-focused. A basic registration creates the company, but the business still needs to understand its statutory records, shareholders, beneficial ownership, annual returns and SARS public officer position.
Can I request a statutory service online?
Yes. The page is designed as an online statutory service centre. Once the Fillout forms are added, each service block can link to the correct intake branch for company registration, director changes, annual returns, beneficial ownership or other statutory requests.
Does submitting an online request mean the work has started?
No. Submitting an online request does not automatically create an engagement. AccountWorx will first review the information, confirm the documents required, advise whether the matter falls within the normal service scope and confirm the fee or next step before work begins.
What documents may be needed for statutory work?
The documents depend on the service requested. Common documents may include company registration documents, director ID documents, proof of address, resolutions, shareholder information, share records, CIPC documents and beneficial ownership supporting information.
Can AccountWorx assist with beneficial ownership filing?
Yes, where the ownership structure is straightforward and the required information is available. If the ownership structure is unclear, layered, disputed, foreign-owned or requires legal interpretation, AccountWorx may recommend review or referral before any filing is attempted.
Does AccountWorx handle shareholder or director disputes?
No. AccountWorx does not position this service as dispute resolution or legal advice. Where there are shareholder disputes, director disputes, legal ownership disagreements or matters requiring legal interpretation, the client may need an attorney, specialist company secretary or appropriate legal service provider.
Can AccountWorx assist with CIPC annual returns?
Yes. AccountWorx can assist with CIPC annual return support and can also review whether related company records, such as director details, registered address, beneficial ownership or shareholder records, need attention.
How are fees confirmed?
Fees are confirmed after reviewing the service type, company status, required documents, ownership structure and whether any historical issues or service boundaries apply. Straightforward services may have starting fees, while matters requiring review are quoted separately if accepted.
Not sure which statutory service your company needs?
Start with the statutory service centre. AccountWorx will review the request and advise whether it is a standard service, a registration package, or a matter requiring further review.
