One-time

Your company has been referred for deregistration. That is fixable.

In November 2024 CIPC referred more than 500,000 companies for deregistration. If yours is one of them, the position is recoverable, and it is considerably cheaper to fix than to lose.

Why it matters

What this is actually protecting you from

A deregistered company cannot bank

Accounts get frozen. That is usually the moment people find out.

Directors become personally exposed

The protection a company gives you stops protecting you.

You cannot trade or tender

Contracts, tenders and clients that check your standing all fall away.

Included

What you get

Everything below is covered by the plan fee.

Full status assessment

We pull your record and establish exactly how many years are outstanding and how far the deregistration has gone.

Every outstanding year filed

Annual returns and beneficial ownership declarations, back-filed year by year until you are current.

Reinstatement lodged

Where the company has already been deregistered, we lodge the restoration.

Bank and director exposure addressed

Getting the company back into good standing is what unfreezes accounts and lifts personal exposure.

Rolled onto Compliance Essentials

The rescue ends with you on a plan, so the same thing cannot happen again.

You do not have to be on a plan

Every service in this plan can also be bought once, on a fixed fee, with no subscription. A plan is simply cheaper over time and means the recurring work stops being something you have to remember. See all one-off fees.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

How do I know if my company has been deregistered?

Run our free compliance check. It takes seconds and tells you your current standing and how many filings are outstanding. Most people find out the hard way, when a bank or a client checks for them.

What does the rescue cost?

From R2,990, plus R550 per outstanding year that has to be back-filed. We tell you the exact number after the status check, before you pay anything.

Can a deregistered company actually be brought back?

In most cases yes. Where the process has started but is not complete, filing everything outstanding stops it. Where the company has already been removed, a restoration application is the route. The check tells us which situation you are in.

What happens after the rescue?

You go onto Compliance Essentials, so the filings that lapsed are done for you every year from then on. Rescuing a company and then leaving it on the same footing that killed it makes no sense.
