A Shelf Company is a PTY or CC that has already been registered at the CIPC. It’s a blank slate because it’s a registered company that hasn’t been used before.

 
 
 
  • Get a Company Registration Number within 24 hours to apply for Tenders, Contracts, RFQs or Financing right away.

The speed is the biggest advantage. You can get a brand-new Company and a Company Registration number within one day when you buy a Instant Company. CIPC Company Registration usually takes about one workweek. You can save even more time if you buy a Instant Company that’s also registered at other authorities like SARS or the Workman’s Compensation Fund. These registrations usually add more waiting time.

  • Get an older company registration number.
  • It’s the fastest and the simplest way to get the new Company to trade immediately.

A Instant Company is a legally registered CIPC Company, that may be registered for other things like VAT or COID. This means it cuts out a lot of energy and time-consuming administration work you need to do if you start from scratch, with a normal Company Registration.

Keep in mind that we have limited stock on every type of Instant Company.

The best way to describe is a Shelf Company in South Africa, is a CIPC-registered company (usually a Pty Company) that you can buy “off the shelf”. “Off the shelf” means an organization has already registered a Pty at the CIPC, keeping it “on the shelf” until an entrepreneur needs it.

 
 

Businessmen and women usually buy Shelf Companies when they need a company registration number ASAP.

 
 

There’s no structural difference in Instant and normal business. The only difference is that a Shelf Corporation is a normal PTY or CC that has already been registered. That means it already has a CIPC registration number and a registered name. It’s usually a very generic name, like for example SA Industries or ABC Construction. That’s because the organisation who sells the shelf company wants it to be a name that’s easy to use.

 
 

Yes. It’s very easy and fast to change a company’s name. It’s a quick administrative process you need to do at the CIPC. We include a free name change in all our Shelf Corporation services. The PTY / CC registration number always stays the same.

 
 

Legally a Pty Shelf Corporation is just like a normal Pty Company. So structurally it’s not better or worse in any way. However, an older company registration number may be beneficial in certain cases. Furthermore, you can start trading immediately without waiting for registration.

 
 

The basic requirements of a Shelf Corporation are the same as the basic requirements of a Pty Company:

You need:

  • To be 18 or older;
  • A South African address;
  • And have a South African ID or a Passport of the country you’re a resident in.

If you’re considering a Shelf Corporation in SA that have other particular registrations, like COID or VAT, there might be additional requirements.
