What the R990 covers
Checking and reserving your name, the government filing fees, preparing and filing the registration, following up with the companies registry, and delivering your registration documents and MOI digitally. We also help you apply for an FNB business account if you want one (approval is up to FNB).
Why use a service if you can file yourself?
You can register directly with the companies registry. People use a service to avoid name rejections, mistakes in director or share details, and the time spent learning the systems, and to have someone remind them about annual returns and beneficial ownership later.
Yearly costs to plan for
- Annual return: every company files one each year. The government fee depends on the company's turnover, and late filing adds penalties.
- Beneficial ownership: confirmed every year with the annual return, and updated after any change.
- Accounting and tax: companies file an income tax return (ITR14) every year, so budget for an accountant if you don't do your own books.
