CIPC Company Deregistration

Voluntary deregistration removes a company from the CIPC register, ending its legal existence and ongoing compliance obligations such as annual returns and tax submissions. This is appropriate for dormant companies, businesses that have ceased trading, or restructures.

Our service handles the full voluntary deregistration submission to CIPC on your behalf.

What’s included:
– Preparation of deregistration application
– Required director resolutions and supporting affidavits
– Submission to CIPC via the eServices portal
– Filing confirmation and final deregistration notice delivered to your portal

What’s NOT included:
– SARS tax clearance application (required separately before deregistration in some cases)
– Closure of bank accounts, contracts, or third-party registrations
– Outstanding annual returns or tax obligations must be settled before deregistration

Turnaround: 10 business days from intake form submission, subject to CIPC processing timelines.

Note: This is administrative filing assistance only and does not constitute legal or financial advice. Once a company is deregistered, reinstatement requires a separate process and additional fees. Service fees are non-refundable once filing has commenced. CIPC fees paid on your behalf are non-refundable.
