Do you know what beneficial ownership is?

In this video, we'll discuss the key concepts of beneficial ownership in South Africa. We'll cover what beneficial ownership is, who a beneficial owner is, whether a company or trust can be a beneficial owner, who can file into a beneficial ownership register and more.

Beneficial ownership is important because it can help to identify the individuals who have control over a legal entity and who may be responsible for its activities. In South Africa, the Companies and Intellectual Property Commission (CIPC) recently implemented a new beneficial ownership regime.

This means that all companies and close corporations in South Africa are now required to file information about their beneficial owners with the CIPC.

Beneficial ownership is an important tool for preventing illicit activities, and it is important for businesses to be aware of their obligations to comply with beneficial ownership requirements.
