Companies and Intellectual Property Authority
The Companies and Intellectual Property Authority (CIPA) registers companies and business names in Botswana. It was established by the Companies and Intellectual Property Authority Act, 2011 (Cap 42:13) as successor to the Registrar of Companies and Intellectual Property (ROCIP), and is a parastatal under the Ministry of Trade and Industry, headed by a Registrar General. CIPA administers the Companies Act (CAP 42:01), which provides for the incorporation of companies, the registration and monitoring of post-incorporation returns and notices and the reservation of company names, together with the Registration of Business Names Act (CAP 42:05), the Industrial Property Act and the Copyright and Neighbouring Rights Act.
Applications and payments are handled through CIPA's Online Business Registration System (OBRS), and CIPA's guidance also covers the re-registration of existing companies and business names on that system.
Beneficial ownership is collected at the register. Under sections 21 and 345 of the Companies (Amendment) Act 2018, in line with the Financial Intelligence Agency Act, those who register companies must provide CIPA with beneficial ownership information, and CIPA is responsible for establishing and maintaining a register of beneficial ownership. A beneficial owner is defined as a natural person who is, directly or indirectly, the ultimate beneficiary of a share or other securities in a company; applicants declare beneficial owners' names, addresses and nature of interest in addition to the details of directors and shareholders. The Company Records report for Botswana includes the certificate of incorporation and the registry extract sourced from the official register.
