[Perform Computers]

Weird, when I search for Perform Computers on that site I get 0 results. So why would they reject it then?

[Perform Computers]

So here's the reason why Perform Computers was rejected.

Apparently my name is too similar to these people.

Question: What tool does CIPRO even use to "check availability" when you submit your requested names? Surely they search SOMEWHERE.

That's quite a difference, you know.

If that's the only problem, then try approaching them for a letter saying they do not object to your registering "Perform Computers".

Naaa it's ok Dave. For personal reasons I wanted to "start over" anyways. I have a few names which I'm submitting on Monday. & if THESE get rejected then I honestly don't know. ( They're derived from Latin so the chances of them getting rejected are hopefully slim ).

I have some more names for you, hope you like some of them

I have a question. Whenever my suggested name gets accepted, I then have to pay whatever company R350 odd to go ahead and register the name. CK number, my details and whatnot.

My question...

Can't I deal direct with CIPRO and save on middle-man costs? Or do I have to go through these little companies that do "all the work for you"?

[Dave A]

You can deal direct to CIPRO. The trouble is the moment you want to do anything more than the annual return, you have to be a verified user.

Here is the CIPRO customer verification info page if you want to go that route, but between time and cost I really doubt it's worth it if you are only processing a transaction every now and then.

Thank you Dave

The trouble is the moment you want to do anything more than the annual return,

And the annual return system is broken until further notice, and no you cannot send a manual return

Dear Client This email refers to your registration : Z25401. We have received a reply from your Name Application for your New Pty. The response from the CIPC board was : Ministro Information Technology We will continue to process your company with the name of : Ministro Information Technology This next stage takes a few weeks. When your final document arrives we will contact you.

YES! FINALLY!

Now to go ahead with the registration. I know a company that always calls me for little IT problems that I sort out remotely at no cost to them. They also do company registrations. Hopefully they'll give me a huge discount.

Thank you to everyone who have given me advice & replied to this thread.

It really is appreciated.

Just a headsup for anyone wanting to register a company + name for R125-R175 only, FNB's process is a lot simpler than dealing directly with CIPRO. If I'm not mistaken they process your documents within days, not weeks.
