What is a PTY Ltd Company?
A Private Company, commonly known as a PTY Ltd (Proprietary Limited), is the most popular business structure in South Africa. It is a separate legal entity from its owners, which means your personal assets are protected if the business faces financial difficulty.
A PTY Ltd can have between 1 and 50 shareholders, can open a business bank account, enter into contracts, own property, sue and be sued — all in the company's name.
Why Register a PTY Ltd?
- Limited liability — personal assets are protected
- Required to tender for government contracts
- Open a business bank account in the company name
- Looks more professional to clients and suppliers
- Can have multiple shareholders and directors
- Access to business funding and loans
- Separate legal identity from its owners
- Required for most B-BBEE and CIDB compliance
