FAQs
CIPC and company admin: common questions
Should I trade as a sole proprietor or a company?
It depends on your profit, your risk and your plans. A company costs more to run but separates your personal assets from the business. We go through the numbers with you before you decide.
What happens if I miss a CIPC annual return?
CIPC charges late penalties and, if returns stay outstanding, can deregister the company. Getting reinstated is slow, so it is worth staying ahead.
What is beneficial ownership?
The people who ultimately own or control the company. Companies must record them with CIPC and update the record when it changes.
