Consulting for companies
An outsourced consulting desk for private companies and groups that need steady company secretarial, contract and compliance support.
The usual instruction is a CIPC registration, a workable Memorandum of Incorporation and shareholders’ agreement, sound employment contracts, and ongoing help keeping annual returns, POPIA and board records in order. We take this work on a defined-scope or monthly basis.
Name reservation and registration with CIPC — private companies, external companies and non-profit companies — with the Memorandum of Incorporation, first directors’ resolutions, share register and the FICA pack needed to open a bank account. Conversions, director changes and share allotments as they arise.
Industry licences, B-BBEE affidavits, FICA onboarding and POPIA (privacy notices, PAIA manuals, operator agreements, information officer designation). Usually a gap review followed by a short compliance calendar.
Day-to-day advice to the board or managing director: how a proposed deal sits under the MOI, when a special resolution is required, and related-party dealings.
Choice of vehicle — company, trust, partnership or external branch — and group structures for holding, operating and property companies. We work alongside your accountant on tax-aware structures; we do not replace your tax practitioner.
Supply, distribution, services, non-disclosure, software, lease and terms of trade. Review of the other side’s paper before signature. A short, enforceable suite rather than a library of unused templates.
Founders’ agreements covering vesting, reserved matters, deadlock, leaver provisions and tag-along and drag-along rights; partnership and joint-venture agreements where a company is not the right vehicle.
Share sale and sale-of-business agreements (including section 34 Insolvency Act notices where required), due-diligence checklists and closing resolutions for SME transactions.
Board charters, committee terms of reference, King IV alignment at a scale that fits the company, minute books and director induction.
Annual returns, beneficial-ownership filings, MOI amendments, section 45 financial assistance, section 112 and 115 disposals, and solvency and liquidity tests — with FICA, competition and exchange-control considerations where they apply.
BCEA-compliant contracts, workplace policies, probation, disciplinary procedure, retrenchment under section 189, restraints of trade, and advice on CCMA and bargaining-council processes.
We help you set out your position in writing, prepare letters of demand, and support negotiation and mediation. Notarial work and conveyancing are arranged through appropriately admitted professionals on your instruction.
Monday to Friday 08:00–16:30. Email is best for a first enquiry — include the facts and any deadline.
