Company Name Reservation
Reserving a company name is the first step to ensuring your business has a unique identity.
Once approved by the CIPC, this name is held exclusively for you, preventing anyone else from registering a company with the same name.
Validity and purpose:
- An approved name reservation is valid for 6 months.
- If the name is not used to register a company within this timeframe, the reservation will expire, and the name will become available to the public.
- The reserved name can be used to register a new company or to change the name of an existing company.
Our total fee for this service is R375. This includes the mandatory filing fee.
