What is a Director Amendment?

A Director Amendment is an update to your company’s registered director details with CIPC—such as appointing a new director, resigning a director, or changing director information. Keeping director records current ensures your company information is accurate and compliant.


How is it processed?
The amendment is submitted to CIPC with the required director details and supporting documents. Once processed, CIPC updates the company register, and the updated director information will reflect on official company disclosures.

Why is filing Important?
    • Legal & Governance Compliance: Director changes must be recorded to keep your company compliant and properly governed.
    • Avoid Admin Delays: Outdated director details can delay banking, tenders, company updates, and CIPC processes.
    • Accurate Public Record: Correct director information protects the company and supports verification by third parties.

How does the process work?

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. Click Start Company Registration and complete the application.
  2. Directors complete online ID verification (no certified copies required).
  3. We send an invoice; you pay by card or EFT/ATM deposit.
  4. We submit to CIPC and send your registration documents when approved.

  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.

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.

If you are not happy with the service, you can cancel anytime and we'll refund your money.

A Private Company is suited for most businesses looking for limited liability protection, with restrictions on share transfers and no obligation to publicly disclose financial information. A Personal Liability Company, on the other hand, is primarily used by professionals like attorneys and doctors, where directors and past directors remain liable for the company's debts.

As fast as 48 hours after payment and successful ID verification, depending on CIPC processing times. 

Absolutely! If you encounter errors or discrepancies during your registration application, our experienced team is here to assist in correcting and resubmitting the necessary information to ensure your registration or compliance process continues smoothly.
