What Are Company Amendments?
Company amendments are official updates made to your existing registered company details through the Companies and Intellectual Property Commission (CIPC). These updates ensure that your company remains compliant with the law and that CIPC’s database reflects the most current and accurate information about your business.
You’re required to submit amendments whenever you:
Add or remove a director
Change your business address
Update financial year-end or company contact details
Adjust shareholding or authorised share capital
Keeping your company information up to date is essential for compliance, especially if you’re applying for tenders, funding, or tax registrations.
