The compliance gap
Most owners only discover a problem when an opportunity is already on the line.
Funding applications, tenders, corporate onboarding, a new bank account, supplier renewals. That is usually the moment a business learns it is behind. Here is what we see most.
No SARS or eFiling profile
No income tax registration and no way to pull a tax compliance status.
No UIF registration
Employers with staff who have never registered or declared their employees.
No Letter of Good Standing
No COIDA registration, so the document tenders ask for simply does not exist yet.
Outdated company details
Directors, addresses, and contacts at CIPC that no longer match reality.
No central view
Documents scattered across emails, drawers, and consultants, with no single checklist.
CIPC requires companies and close corporations to file annual returns every year, and uses the process to keep company information current. SARS provides eFiling for tax registration, returns, and tax compliance status, while employers may also need to register with the UIF and the Compensation Fund. Compliance Factory helps you identify these gaps and take practical steps to close them.
Our value
Compliance made simple, accessible, and coordinated, all under one roof.
01
One front door for many needs
Instead of being sent between CIPC, SARS, UIF, COIDA, accountants, and consultants, you start in one place. We assess the request and either assist directly or route it to the right professional.
02
Practical help, not just advice
Many compliance issues are administrative, procedural, or documentation work. We handle the forms, portals, status checks, and follow-ups that move your business toward good standing.
03
Professionals where authority is required
Some work needs a registered professional. When it does, we do not pretend otherwise. We connect you to a vetted accountant, tax practitioner, attorney, or FAIS compliance officer on our panel.
04
Affordable access for small business
Compliance is not only for large firms with big budgets. We give SMMEs entry-level support in a way that is simple, transparent, and cost conscious.
05
Readiness for real opportunities
A compliant business can apply for funding, submit tenders, and onboard with corporates. We help you become opportunity ready before the deadline, not after.
