How do you change your Company’s Name in South Africa?
The company will need to be compliant before any amendment will be accepted by CIPC. Thereafter, a name reservation will need to be done whereby the name options will be assessed by CIPC. Should the names not be already registered or infringe on an already registered name, the name will be cleared by CIPC by means of a CoR9.4. The company will then need to apply for an updated Memorandum of Incorporation (MOI) reflecting the new name.
Can a Director be removed without his or her consent?
Although possible, the removal of the director without their consent must be done following the provisions of the Companies Act, 2008 (“the Act”).
When can a Director be removed?
The grounds or reason for a director will differ from case to case. Many will be voluntary resignation and/or retirement. Illness and death are also seen as grounds for resignation of a director. And then there are the more formal reasons, such as bankruptcy, disqualification by the Court, or a breach of service contract. The reason for a director’s removal will dictate which procedure the company should follow.
Can you amend the Memorandum of Incorporation of a Company?
A revised Memorandum of Incorporation should be requested each time there is one or more amendments made to the company information listed at CIPC.
