This is a guide to help you register for your daycare in South Africa.
The first thing you need to do is to find out the requirements for registration. This will depend on the type of daycare you have and where it is located. For example, if your daycare is in Johannesburg, then you need to check with the Johannesburg municipality for their specific requirements. If it is outside of Johannesburg, then contact the local municipality office or council office.
The next step would be to get your business name registered and a company number if it’s required by law. You can do this by contacting the National Companies and Intellectual Property Commission (NIPC).
Next, submit an application form for registration with your local municipality office or council office that deals with businesses and trade licenses. You will also have to pay a fee for the registration of R150-R400 depending on where you are located and what type of daycare you have – for example, if you have a home daycare, you will pay R150. You may also be required to take an English language proficiency test or proof of your qualifications for the type of daycare that you want to run. Find out what fees are associated with your desired daycare.
