We provide a comprehensive range of end-to-end services related to business formation, from the gathering of information to the eventual successful registration of the business. Depending on your needs, we are able to assist you on the following:
Our work does not end with business setup. All registered business entities are required to comply with various legislations. We assist you in navigating through the jungle of rules and regulations in South Africa through our services as “Corporate Secretarial Agents”.

Tax planning is an area that should be looked into during the course of business planning and setup. There may be avenues for tax minimisation. This is especially true for owner-operated businesses in which the owner or shareholder is also the person managing and running the business. How then should one plan for and minimise tax exposure?

What about the Goods and Services Tax – are you required to register as a GST trader, or should you register voluntarily?
Yes, taxation is a very complex matter, and it is advisable that various tax issues be considered at the incorporation stage. Our business associates will be able to provide tax planning advice if required and we work in concert to recommend tax-efficient structures for your business.
Business Plans
A business plan is an essential component of starting or expanding a business that is very often overlooked, or even ignored.
