Our journey began in a humble apartment just 10 years ago, with a single visionary paving the way. Today, Company Partners stands as a testament to dedication and progress, having served over 50,000 clients and boasting a team of more than 50 talented individuals.

We've ascended to become South Africa's foremost leader in startup business registrations, a remarkable achievement in a short span of time. At Company Partners, we're not just in the business of paperwork; we're in the business of turning entrepreneurial dreams into reality.

When a startup crosses our threshold with an ambitious business idea, they leave with all the essential documentation needed to secure contracts, win tenders, and captivate clients. While our primary focus remains business registrations, we've also extended our expertise into accounting and marketing, empowering businesses with the tools they need to thrive.

But our journey doesn't end with setup. We go the extra mile by providing many of these businesses with monthly tax and accounting services, simplifying their financial responsibilities through convenient debit orders. To make this happen, we rely on the expertise of our dedicated sales team, the driving force behind our continued success.

As we reflect on the past 10 years, we're proud of how far we've come, but we're even more excited about the future. Company Partners continues to evolve and grow, shaping the path for countless startups and entrepreneurs across South Africa. Join us in celebrating our history and our unwavering commitment to the success of businesses across the nation.
