CIPC Update: Review of Companies and Close Corporations Enquiry
The Companies and Intellectual Property Commission (CIPC) is unwavering in its commitment to continually enhancing its functions. Recognising the dynamic nature of business and intellectual property landscapes, CIPC proactively seeks opportunities for improvement and innovation. Through its constant efforts, CIPC aims to facilitate economic development, protect intellectual property rights, and serve as a trusted authority for companies and individuals seeking reliable support and guidance.
In one such effort to improve the efficiency of addressing customer enquiry, CIPC recently announced the merging of certain queues. The merging of queues will take effect from 11th July 2023.

Categories to be Merged
CIPC is all set to merge different sub-categories related to company registrations and amendments for Companies and Close Corporations (CC). The following sub-categories will be merged to improve CIPC service delivery time for customers:

Bottom Line
In line with the CIPC’s efforts to offer more reliable support and guidance to companies and close corporations, merging the above-mentioned sub-categories is a much-needed step. By merging these sub-categories under one head, CIPC will improve its effectiveness in addressing queries and reduce service delivery time.
