Have you just won a contract that requires you to have a VAT number immediately? Waiting weeks for a new VAT registration from SARS could mean losing the deal. Our Shelf Company with a VAT number is the fastest possible solution to this critical business problem.

What is a Shelf Company with a VAT Number? A Simple Guide

This is a pre-registered company (a "shelf company") that has also already been registered for VAT with SARS. Because it has never traded, it has a clean history but comes with an active and ready-to-use VAT number. This is extremely useful for businesses that land a contract requiring them to be VAT registered immediately, as a new VAT registration can take several weeks. It allows you to start issuing valid VAT invoices from day one.
