Advantages of Option 1 (Register a Company with a New Name):

1. Unique Identity (different to other Pty options)

Your Company will have a unique identity which creates a ‘Brand’ – as you choose a New Company Name of your choice.

2. Start Trading

A Pty Company, registered at CIPC, allows a business to formally trade with its own Company Name and Bank Account. It may then also apply for beneficial certificates such as:

• Tax Verification
• Tax Clearance
• COID Letter of Good standing
• VAT Registration
• BEE Certificate
• COID Registration
• Many more…

Most Tenders and Contracts also require that you have a registered Company.

3. Tax Benefits

A Pty Company qualifies to get business tax deductions such as:

• Donations / Charity
• Home Office Space
• All business related expenses

4. Minimise Risk

An individual is protected when trading under a Pty Company because the business is then a separate legal entity. Meaning that you (as the Owner / Director / Shareholder) take much less risk than when you are trading / dealing under your own name.

5. Liquidity

Private Companies are more liquid (easy to buy and sell shares) than other Company formations. Via share allocation the Company can consist of 1 to 50 shareholders / directors.
