Which type of company should I register?
  1. Private Companies (PTY Ltd): The most common and simplest form of company to be registered. Examples are engineering firms, consulting firms, retail and general trading companies.
  2. Non Profit Companies (NPC): Are created for public benefit, or communal or group interest. A NPC requires at least 3 founders.
  3. A Personal Liability Company (Inc): Required by doctors, auditors and lawyers. Personal Liability is similar to a private company however directors have personal liability.
  4. Co-Operative (Co-op): A jointly-owned and controlled enterprise created for the purpose of achieving common economic, social, or cultural needs.
What is the difference between a Sole Proprietorship and a Registered Company?

Firstly, it’s important to understand the difference between a Sole Proprietorship and a registered company. If your business is not currently registered, then you are operating as either a Sole Proprietor. A Sole Proprietorship means that your business functions and exists in your own personal capacity, and not as a legal entity. 


A company that has been registered with the CIPC is commonly referred to as a Private Company, and usually ends with the suffix ‘(Proprietary) Limited’ or ‘(Pty) Ltd’. Once registered, the business is treated by South African law as a separate legal entity.
