The Company Registration Certificate is a crucial document issued by the Companies and Intellectual Property Commission (CIPC) in South Africa, serving as the primary proof of a company's legal existence and compliance with the Companies Act 71 of 2008. This certificate is required for various business operations, including opening bank accounts, entering into contracts, submitting tenders, and dealing with government authorities. It contains vital information such as the company's unique registration number, official name, type of company, registered address, and directors' details. The certificate must be obtained before a company can commence operations and must be displayed at the company's registered office. It's frequently requested by banks, government departments, and other institutions as verification of the company's legal status and compliance with South African company law.
