Company or CC Yearend and Registered Address Changes
The CIPC can process various changes, such as the financial yearend date of your company, as well as its registered address.

LMS can assist with successfully processing these changes with the CIPC.

Share Capital Amendments
A company’s share capital comprises funds contributed by company shareholders.
