Introduction
Registration of a Proprietary Company
Registering a proprietary company requires the use of laws and regulations in its set up. For a
functional company to operate as its own independent legal body, it has to set its own
constitution and the articles and memorandum of association. These documents are aimed at
ensuring that the proprietary company runs as an independent and autonomous body (Mason,
2009).
The company’s name is Morbid Proprietary (Pty) Company Limited. It deals with gemstone
mining and will require a fully functional structure to help in its operations within and without.
The constitution guides its external operations while the memorandum and articles of association
helps in the internal management of the company. There are however several steps that must be
taken into consideration in order to register a proprietary company. These steps are informed by
the company’s Act in sections 117, 134, 135 and 169 respectively (Hannigan, 2016). During the
set-up, the proprietor(s) of the company must ensure that all the sections under company law are
adhered to. Other statutory bodies in the company that help in the management of the internal
affairs of the company are the audit department in the company and the Board of Directors.
Section 117 is divided into 6 sub-sections. They include;
Section 117(3) prescribes the copy of the constitution. If a company is to become a public
company it must have a constitution.

Section 117(4) prescribed form. It states that the company registration must be in form of a

The section contains resolutions and agreements filled and also has the following; that

(DIGNAM, 2018).
Section 169 suggest that the company must share a register for each class of share
A proprietary company must maintain a register of its class of shares. The share register is
