What is Company Law?
Company law in South Africa is the legal framework that governs the formation, operation, governance, and dissolution of companies within the country.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a shareholder and a director?
A shareholder owns part of the company by holding shares, while a director is responsible for managing the company’s operations and making key decisions. One person can be both, but their roles and legal responsibilities are distinct.
What are the ongoing compliance requirements for a registered company?
All companies must submit annual returns to the CIPC, maintain accurate statutory records, comply with tax obligations (SARS), and—if applicable—have financial statements audited or independently reviewed.
