What Is Business Structuring and Compliance?
Business structuring refers to how your company is legally formed — whether it’s a sole proprietorship, Pty Ltd, NPC, or partnership. Compliance ensures that your business meets the ongoing legal and regulatory requirements of operating in South Africa.
Without proper structuring and compliance, your business risks penalties, missed opportunities, and legal issues.
