Beneficial Ownership
Use CompanyRegisters for all your Beneficial Ownership needs! Users can get all supporting documentation on CompanyRegisters to upload their Beneficial Ownership on CIPC.
The Companies and Intellectual Property Commission (CIPC) launched its Beneficial Ownership (BO) register on 1 April 2023 for companies and close corporations. The register aims to identify natural persons who own or control legal entities, assist law enforcement in investigations, and mitigate risks of money laundering and terror financing identified in the national risk assessment.
The register is intended for relevant companies and close corporations to submit beneficial ownership information related to their entity. Any individual holding more than 5% beneficial ownership in a company or close corporation is required to file the necessary information with the CIPC.
