What are company secretarial requirements?
Every registered company must meet certain requirements to remain active and trading in South Africa. These include filing an annual return, notifying the government of changes to company, director, member and officer information, maintaining a register of shareholders and producing various company records.
Traditionally, professionals are hired to manage these requirements. But ultimately, it is the responsibility of the directors to ensure the company is compliant and their records are kept up-to-date. InfoDocs solves this challenge by providing a simple and secure online platform which all relevant parties can securely access.

File Beneficial Ownership
File Beneficial Ownership
Every company is required to file beneficial ownership information as per Section 56 of the Companies Act (as amended). A beneficial owner is an individual who ultimately owns or controls a company. Filing your beneficial ownership was introduced to reduce the risk of money laundering, financial crimes, and reputation damage.

With each transaction, you can record share prices, certificate numbers and other important details. You can also record changes to

File Annual Returns
Every company is required to submit an annual return as per Section 33 of the Companies Act (as amended). This is to indicate the company is still active (even dormant) and failure to do so will result in the company being issued penalty fees before eventually being deregistered altogether.
