What we do
Most businesses do not fail because of a bad idea. They fail because the paperwork was never done properly, a deadline was missed, or nobody could tell what the business actually looked like on paper.
Start properly, once.
Everything needed to bring a business into legal existence and get it trading - registration, registrations with the right authorities, and the paperwork that follows you for years.
Never caught off guard.
Deadlines tracked, documents kept current, and someone watching the calendar so a lapsed certificate never costs you a contract.
Built to grow, not just to exist.
The work that turns a registered company into a business that can win contracts, raise funding and stand up to scrutiny.
Look like the business you intend to be.

Compliance, handled
Annual returns, B-BBEE, COID, tax, UIF — every one has its own deadline, and every one of them is how a business quietly loses a tender it was going to win.
Boogal tracks each obligation with its own due date, and tells you at 30, 14, 7, 3 and 1 days — by email and WhatsApp. Your compliance position is one number you can look at any time.
Business compliance
Example clientWeighted across every tracked obligation. A lapsed critical item pulls this straight to red.
How it works
A short conversation about what you have, what you need, and what is urgent.
You get a clear list: what is required, what it costs, and how long each part takes.
Registrations, filings and documents handled properly, with you kept informed.
Deadlines tracked and reminders sent, so nothing lapses without you knowing.
Common questions
A private company is registered with the Companies and Intellectual Property Commission (CIPC). In practice
there are three parts to it.
First, the name. You can reserve up to four proposed names and CIPC approves one of them, or you can
register with the registration number as the name and add a trading name later. Name reservation is where
most delays happen, because names that are too similar to an existing one get rejected.
Second, the registration itself. You need the ID numbers of every director, their contact details, a
registered address and a financial year end.
Third, everything that follows: the company is automatically registered for income tax, but you still need
to confirm the tax number, open a business bank account, and register for UIF and COID if you employ
anyone.
Boogal handles all three parts. Get in touch and we will tell you exactly what your situation needs.

Every registered company and close corporation must file an annual return with CIPC each year, within 30
business days of the anniversary of its registration date. It is not a tax return — it is confirmation to
CIPC that the business still exists and its details are current.
If you miss it, CIPC starts a deregistration process. A deregistered company cannot legally trade, its bank
account can be frozen, and its assets technically pass to the state until it is restored. Restoring a
deregistered company is possible but slow and considerably more expensive than filing on time.
This is the single most common reason a business gets into trouble without realising it, because the
notices go to the registered address on the CIPC system — which is often an address the owner moved out of
years ago.

Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment measures how a business contributes to economic transformation. Your
customers, particularly large companies and government, are scored on who they buy from — so your B-BBEE
status affects whether they can buy from you.
What you need depends on turnover. A business with annual turnover under R10 million is an Exempted Micro
Enterprise and can use a sworn affidavit, signed in front of a commissioner of oaths. That costs nothing
but your time.
Above R10 million you need a verified certificate from a SANAS-accredited verification agency, which is a
longer and more involved process.
Either way it is valid for twelve months, and it expires quietly. Boogal tracks the expiry date and tells
you before it lapses.
