What Is Company Reinstatement?
Company reinstatement means restoring a deregistered company’s legal status on the CIPC database so it can trade, open bank accounts, protect assets, and operate lawfully in South Africa. A deregistered company cannot legally conduct business until it’s reinstated.
Why Companies Get Deregistered
Companies are often deregistered by CIPC when statutory requirements like filing annual returns or compliance details are not submitted on time. This removes the company from the public registry and stops it from operating legally.
Who Qualifies for Reinstatement?
To qualify for reinstatement, your company must have been:
- Actively trading at the time it was deregistered, or
- Owning business assets (e.g., active bank accounts, property).
CIPC may require proof of activity or asset ownership before approving the reinstatement application.

What Happens After Reinstatement?
After CIPC approves the reinstatement application:
- Your company status updates to “Reinstatement Process”.
- You must submit all outstanding annual returns and compliance filings (including beneficial ownership declarations) to fully restore legal trading status.
- Once compliance is complete, your status becomes “In Business” on CIPC’s database.
Turnaround Time & Costs
- Typical CIPC processing can take several weeks, depending on workload. AdminBoss tracks and manages this for you to reduce delays.
- AdminBoss offers affordable reinstatement support starting from a fixed fee tailored to your needs.
Note: CIPC charges its own application fee, and all outstanding annual return fees must be paid before the company status can fully return to In Business.
Frequently Asked Questions
What Does “Reinstated” Mean?
Reinstating a company restores it on CIPC’s legal register so it’s officially recognised to trade again.
Do I Need to Show Proof of Trading?
Yes. CIPC may ask for bank statements, invoices, or other evidence showing the company was active when it was deregistered.
