Company Secretarial & CIPC Services in Nelspruit, Mbombela — PBS Chartered Accountants Inc

Missed CIPC annual returns, outdated director records, and unfiled resolutions are the quiet compliance killers that catch business owners by surprise — usually just when they are trying to sell the business, open a bank account, or qualify for a tender. PBS Chartered Accountants Inc provides full company secretarial and CIPC services in Nelspruit (Mbombela) for companies and close corporations across Mpumalanga and Limpopo.

Company secretarial work is not glamorous but it is foundational. Your Memorandum of Incorporation, share register, director details, and annual returns form the public record of your company — and everyone from SARS to your bank to a potential buyer checks them. At PBS, company secretarial is handled as a professional service, not an admin afterthought, and it sits alongside our tax and audit work so compliance stays joined-up.

PBS Chartered Accountants has served the Mbombela community from our offices at 17 Murray Street, Mbombela since our founding. In 2023, we expanded to Hoedspruit, Limpopo, extending our secretarial services across the broader Lowveld. Whether you are registering a new company, restructuring an existing one, or cleaning up years of missed filings, call 013 752 6280 for a quote.

What Do Company Secretarial & CIPC Services Cover at PBS?

Company secretarial compliance is a moving target — every director change, share transfer, address update, and resolution must be captured and, where required, lodged with CIPC. Miss enough of these and your company can end up deregistered. At PBS we maintain the full statutory record, file everything on time, and keep your company in good standing with CIPC and SARS.

Here is what our company secretarial and CIPC services include:

CIPC Annual Returns

Every company and close corporation must lodge an annual return with CIPC and pay the associated fee. We calculate your fee, file the return, and send you the proof of submission. Missed annual returns can cause deregistration, so this is one of the most important recurring compliance obligations we handle.

Company Registrations & Name Changes

Setting up a new private company (Pty) Ltd, non-profit company (NPC), or personal liability company? We handle the full registration — name reservation, MOI drafting, CIPC filing, share issue, director appointments — and deliver your CoR14 (Memorandum) and CoR14.3 (registration certificate) ready to go.

Director & Shareholder Changes

Adding a director, removing one, changing registered addresses, updating passport numbers, or transferring shares — every change must be captured in the company records and, where required, filed with CIPC. We handle both the internal record-keeping and the CIPC filing.

Share Transfers & Allotments

When shares change hands, the paperwork has to be right. We draft share transfer forms, update the share register, issue new share certificates, and lodge the relevant returns. If the transfer triggers CGT or securities transfer tax, our tax team handles that side in parallel.

Memorandum of Incorporation Amendments

If your MOI no longer reflects how the company actually operates, or needs updating for a funding round, new shareholder agreement, or restructuring, we draft the amendments and file the updated MOI with CIPC.

Statutory Records & Minute Books

The Companies Act requires every company to keep statutory records including a share register, director register, minutes of meetings, and resolutions. We maintain these records for you, keep them up to date, and produce them on demand for audits, banks, or SARS queries.

CIPC Compliance Cleanup & Reinstatement

If your company has been deregistered by CIPC for non-compliance, or has years of missed annual returns, we handle the cleanup. We file outstanding returns, pay the penalties, and apply for reinstatement if needed. The sooner you act, the easier the cleanup.

Direct Access to Directors & Specialists

When a secretarial question touches tax, audit, or estate planning, you are not passed between departments. You speak to a director who coordinates the answer across the full PBS team.

Why Use a CA Firm for Company Secretarial Work?

Compliance Stays Joined-Up: Your secretarial, tax, and audit records all live inside one firm. That means when a director change has a tax consequence, or an MOI amendment affects the audit, the whole picture is considered at once.

Accurate Filings on Time: CIPC penalties are small but deregistration is catastrophic — you can lose your company name, your bank account, and contractual counterparties. We file on time, every time, and alert you well before deadlines.

Statutory Records You Can Actually Rely On: When a buyer, auditor, or lender asks to see your statutory records, you want to hand over a clean, current file. We maintain that file actively, not retrospectively.

Tax-Aware Restructuring: Share transfers, MOI amendments, and ownership changes often have tax consequences. Our tax team flags them before the paperwork is filed so there are no nasty surprises.

Local Presence, CA Standards: Based in Mbombela with a Hoedspruit branch, we deliver local availability with the technical rigour of a registered CA firm. Walk-in consultations and director access are part of the service.
