Frequently Asked Questions

How does the process work?
  1. All you have to do is CLICK any button that says “Get Started" or "Register Your Company”. 
  2. You’ll a get short form to fill in. It’s nothing intrusive - It’s just so we can get to know you better e.g. name & contact details   
  3. Then you can make a small payment of R250 (down 65% from our normal price of R850 - ONLY if you register before discount period ends)
  4. After that, you’ll just have to submit a copy of your ID.

    5. That’s all you have to do.

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.

Can I get refund if I'm not happy with the service?

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

Why should I register with SMTAX instead of CIPC?
Registering your new company is not rocket science. 

But here’s the thing, just because it’s not rocket science, it doesn’t mean that it’s a walk in the park. There is a learning curve you’ll have to go through before you can even start to think about making registering your company quickly and easily.If you get just one little thing wrong in one little document, it could set you back days, if not weeks. 

Registering your new business is not just about going online and submitting a few documents, there is more to it.  We make it even quicker and easier for you, even if you already know how to do it yourself. 
What other benefits do I get?

By being part of the SMTAX community you get great discounts from our partners such as Xero, Old Mutual and many more.
