What Does It Actually Cost to Register a Company in South Africa?

4 MIN READ · CIPC · Updated 11 August 2026

Most people assume there is one flat fee to register a business in South Africa. There is not. The real cost depends on a few choices you make along the way, and most guides never actually break it down. Here is every real number, explained plainly, including the costs that show up after registration, not just on the day itself.

If you are happy to register under your company's registration number, something like 2026/123456/07, rather than a specific chosen name, here is everything you need to pay.

Your CIPC (Companies and Intellectual Property Commission, the government body that registers companies) customer code is free to create.

Registering a Private Company itself costs R125.
