Company Registration in Durban
Registering a company in Durban follows the same online CIPC process as anywhere in the country, and we handle it from R990.
Local context
Businesses in Durban
If you plan to import or export, register the company first; other registrations you may need generally follow once the company exists.
Durban is home to one of Africa's busiest ports, and much of eThekwini's economy grows out of that: logistics, freight and manufacturing, alongside tourism along the coast and a large retail sector. Many Durban businesses serve customers across KwaZulu-Natal and inland, so their website often does the first round of selling.
We don't have an office in Durban. Our studio is in Kuils River, Cape Town, and we work with Durban businesses remotely, through video calls, WhatsApp and email.

FAQs
Frequently asked questions
Can you register a company for an import or export business?
We register the company with CIPC, and our Startup Bundle includes tax registration assistance. Customs registration is a separate process with SARS, so check those requirements with SARS or a clearing agent.
Do you have an office in Durban?
We don't have an office in Durban. Our studio is in Kuils River, Cape Town, and we work with Durban businesses remotely, through video calls, WhatsApp and email.
What are annual returns?
Every company must file an annual return with CIPC each year. Missing them can get the company deregistered. We can file them for you.
What is the free FNB account?
Register with us and we set you up with a complimentary FNB Gold Business Account, so you can trade from day one.
