The South African Companies Act 2008 has changed the way to register a close corporation. In fact it has done away with the close corporation altogether. You now have to register what would have been a close corporation as a private company. For more information email me at murraymarilyn1@gmail.com or visit http://marilynmurray.wozaonline.co.za.
