Company Registration in Durban

Registering a company in Durban follows the same online CIPC process as anywhere in the country, and we handle it from R990.

Local context

Doing business in Durban.

If you plan to import or export, register the company first; other registrations you may need generally follow once the company exists.

Durban is home to one of Africa's busiest ports, and much of eThekwini's economy grows out of that: logistics, freight and manufacturing, alongside tourism along the coast and a large retail sector. Many Durban businesses serve customers across KwaZulu-Natal and inland, so their website often does the first round of selling.

We don't have an office in Durban. Our studio is in Kuils River, Cape Town, and we work with Durban businesses remotely, through video calls, WhatsApp and email.
