A Personal Liability Company also known as a ”INC” is another type of company that does not differ much from a (Pty) Ltd. A Personal Liability Company specifically suits a professional such as an Auditor or an Attorney who wants to register a company for his or her practice. The only difference is that the directors are jointly and severally liable for the company’s debts.

A Personal Liability Company ends with “Inc.” or “Incorporated”

To register a Personal Liability Company (INC), the following documents and information is required:

• The number of directors the company will have along with their ID copies
• Four proposed names in order of preference.
• The postal and physical address of the company.
• Company contact details (this includes email addresses and Telephone numbers)
• The details of the intended director/s. (this includes addresses, contact numbers and email addresses)
• A limited Power of Attorney in which you give us the authority to register a company on your behalf, signed by all intended director/s (which will be sent to you via email once the order is placed).

The Personal Liability Company (INC) Registration process is divided into two steps:

• Step 1:Name Reservations will be made, which will take between 1 – 2 business days. However, If there is a delay from CIPC due to excessive workload, the process could take longer.
