Beneficial Ownership Filing
In addition to company registration, Action Accounts ensures your business meets all legal compliance requirements, including Beneficial Ownership Filing. This process is now a mandatory part of company registration in South Africa, designed to promote transparency and prevent misuse of companies.
What is Beneficial Ownership Filing?
It’s the process of declaring who ultimately owns or controls your company. This information must be filed with CIPC and kept up to date.
Why is it Important?
Filing beneficial ownership details helps your company stay compliant with South African law, avoid penalties, and build credibility with banks and partners.
How We Help
Action Accounts handles the entire filing process for you. We collect the required details, submit them correctly to CIPC, and keep records updated so you never have to worry about falling behind.
What We Need From You
To process your company registration and Beneficial Ownership Filing smoothly, please have the following documents ready for upload:
1. Certified ID / Passport
A clear, certified copy of your South African ID or valid foreign passport for each director and shareholder.
2. Proof of Address
A recent proof of residential address (not older than 3 months), such as a utility bill, bank statement, or lease agreement.
3. Shareholder Information
Full names, ID numbers/passport numbers, and percentage shareholding of each shareholder in the company.
4. Beneficial Ownership Details
The ultimate person(s) who own or control the company, with supporting ID and proof of address documents.
5. Supporting Documents (If Applicable)
If the shareholder is a company or trust, we’ll also need the registration documents of that entity.
Tip: Make sure all scanned copies are clear, signed where required, and in PDF or JPEG format.
