Why Company Secretarial Services Matter
Many businesses overlook the importance of company secretarial duties until compliance issues arise. A company secretary plays a crucial role in ensuring that:
- Corporate filings and CIPC compliance deadlines are met.
- Board meetings, minutes, and resolutions are documented correctly.
- Directors and shareholders adhere to legal corporate governance structures.
Without proper corporate secretarial support, companies face the risk of legal penalties, operational disruptions, and governance failures.
At Snaid & Morris, we bridge this gap—providing efficient, cost-effective company secretarial services that ensure your business remains legally sound and well-structured.

FAQs – Company Secretarial Services & Compliance
Is a company secretary legally required for all businesses in South Africa?
Not all companies require a company secretary, but certain businesses—particularly those governed by their Memorandum of Incorporation (MOI)—must appoint one. Public companies and state-owned enterprises (SOEs) are legally required to have a company secretary under the Companies Act, 2008.
What are the key responsibilities of a company secretary?
A company secretary ensures that the business remains compliant with CIPC filings, board meeting governance, and corporate record-keeping. Their duties include maintaining statutory records, preparing resolutions, and advising on corporate regulations.
What happens if my company does not comply with CIPC requirements?
Failure to submit annual filings and maintain compliance can lead to:
- CIPC deregistration, meaning the company ceases to exist legally.
- Legal liability for directors due to governance failures.
- Fines and penalties for non-compliance.
