Beneficial Ownership Register
Beneficial Ownership (BO) Declaration
The Companies Commission now requires all registered South African companies and close corporations, regardless of their size or type, to submit a Beneficial Ownership declaration. This includes all external, non-profit, private, and public companies. Any individual who holds more than 5% beneficial ownership in an entity must be declared, along with all supporting documentation. Failure to comply with this requirement can result in administrative penalties.
Important: Our service currently covers companies with individual shareholders. If your company has juristic shareholders (e.g., other companies or trusts), please contact us at 087 012 5960 for assistance before you proceed.
