Frequently Asked Questions

Thinking about using our services? Here’s what new founders ask us the most — and why StartupHero is the ultimate sidekick for your business.

How much does it cost to register a company in South Africa?

At StartupHero, our company registration starts from just R950, including name reservation, CIPC registration, SARS tax number, BEE, and a bank account? We’ve got bundled packages that make it super simple and cost-effective! There are additional options available, including older shelf companies, COIDA, and more.

“Can I register a business if I’m the only owner?”

Yes! Most of our clients are sole founders. You’ll be the sole director and shareholder. Simple, clean, and 100% compliant.

“How long does it take to get registered?”

Typically 24–72 hours. Urgent? Ask us about express options — some services can be fast-tracked within a day.

“Is this better than doing it myself?”

Way better. We don’t just register your company — we also:
✅ Get your tax number
✅ Issue a BEE affidavit
✅ Draft a share certificate
✅ Advise you on what’s needed for your industry (CIDB, VAT, COIDA, etc.)
No red tape. No confusion. Just results. Still want to do enterprise registration yourself?

“What documents do I need to start?”

Just your:
✅ South African ID (or passport if you’re a foreigner)
✅ Residential address
✅ Company name ideas
That’s it. We’ll handle the rest.

“Is my information secure?”

100%. We’re POPIA-compliant and never share your data. Our systems are encrypted and secure — your trust is sacred to us.

“Can I add branding or accounting later?”

Absolutely. Think of us as your on-demand startup squad. Start with company registration and add services like:
✅ Logo and website
✅ Monthly accounting
✅ Social media setup
✅ POS, CRM, chatbot tools
Just let us know what you need — we’ll build you a custom plan or package.

Can I register a company at FNB?

FNB and some banks offer registration through CIPC, but it can be limited in scope. At StartupHero, we provide full-service setup, including compliance, amendments, BEE, and more — plus, we guide you with a smile 😄.

How do I open my own company in South Africa?

Step 1: Pick a name.
Step 2: Register your company with StartupHero.
Step 3: Get your SARS Tax Number.
Step 4: Add BEE, COIDA, VAT, or industry-specific registrations as needed.
Step 5: Start trading legally and professionally!

StartupHero handles all of this for you, end to end.
