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 Annual Returns

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.
