Shareholder Verification
Our office is able to assist your entity in re-establishing contact and updating the details of inactive, dormant, lost, or missing shareholders.
This is particularly important when trying to check company shareholders, especially if the shareholder database has not been maintained or updated for an extended period.
As individuals often change their contact details—such as cell phone numbers, landlines, email addresses—and move to new residential addresses, keeping accurate records becomes a challenge.
In many cases, shareholders have emigrated or moved abroad, making it even more difficult to reach them through conventional methods.
Company Registration Verification
As part of our broader service offering, we also assist with company registration verification, ensuring that your shareholder records are matched against valid, verified company data.
This is vital for maintaining an accurate shareholder register and for legal reporting purposes.
How to Check Shareholders of a Company
In South Africa, the ability to check shareholders of a company or verify shareholder data is further complicated by increased privacy regulations and changes in data protection laws.
While technological advancements have made data collection easier in theory, in practice, much of the data is outdated or inaccessible. This is especially relevant for companies attempting to adhere to the latest compliance standards under the new Companies Act.
Fortunately, the Act allows for shareholder communication via email, providing companies with a more cost-effective and efficient communication channel—provided the data is accurate and up to date.
