When a business outgrows its business name registration, the next step is a limited company. We incorporate your new company with the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC), help carry your trading identity across, and wind down the old registration properly. CAC fees are included in the price.

Who it's for

  • Business name owners taking on partners, investors or larger contracts
  • Businesses whose clients or lenders ask for a limited company
  • Owners who want the business to be a separate legal entity from themselves

What you get

  • A new incorporation, including name reservation, MEMART, share structure and filing
  • Transfer of your trading identity, so your existing name can carry over to the company where the CAC approves it
  • Wind-down of the old business name registration once the company is in place
  • Your certificate of incorporation and status report
  • CAC statutory fees included, with nothing billed on top

What we need from you

  • A valid means of identification for each director and shareholder
  • Proposed company names, usually including your current business name
  • Registered office and residential addresses
  • Director and shareholder details
  • Your existing business name certificate

How it works

  1. Share your current registration and plans for the company.
  2. You pay up front and we confirm the details within a working day.
  3. We reserve the name and prepare your incorporation documents for your approval.
  4. We file the incorporation and follow up with the CAC.
  5. Once the company is registered, we wind down the old business name.

Why LaunchPad

  • One service covers the whole transition, not just the new incorporation.
  • We plan the sequence so you are not left without a valid registration in between.
  • We can update your TIN, branding and documents once the company is live.

Frequently asked questions

Can I keep my business name?

In most cases your company can use a name based on your business name, subject to CAC approval. We check this at the start.

What happens to my bank account?

Your bank will usually need your new company documents to open or convert a corporate account. We provide what you need to share with them.

How long does it take?

It follows the limited company timeline, plus the wind-down. We confirm a timeline once we have your documents.
