Was Your Company Deregistered by CIPC?
Finding out that your company has been deregistered can create a bigger problem than simply losing its active status.
You may need the company for an existing contract, tender, bank account, business asset, CSD registration or other business activity. Starting a completely new company may also mean losing the history and identity of the existing entity.
The first step is to understand why the company was deregistered and whether reinstatement is appropriate for your situation.
Biz Evolution can help you assess the position of your company and guide you through the next steps.
Why Do Companies Get Deregistered in South Africa?
One of the most common reasons is failure to keep up with required CIPC annual returns and other compliance obligations.
A company can also encounter problems when its CIPC records are not properly maintained or when required information and filings remain outstanding.
If your company has been deregistered, the important thing is not to ignore the problem. Continuing to treat the company as though it is active can create additional compliance and business complications.

Can a Deregistered Company Be Reinstated?
Not every deregistered company will automatically qualify for reinstatement.
CIPC’s current requirements consider whether the company was actively trading, had economic value at the time of deregistration or falls within circumstances where a court order is involved.
This is why it is important to assess your company’s position before assuming that reinstatement is the right solution.
If reinstatement is appropriate, we can help you work through the application and supporting requirements.
If it is not appropriate, we can explain the alternatives available to you.
