All companies are now required to have a constitution. This applies to all new registrations as well as all existing companies. A template to guide customers to develop their constitutions has been provided on the Information Centre section of the CIPA website www.cipa.co.bw. The submission fee for constitutions is P500 for all company types.

Beneficial Ownership

All new and existing companies must declare persons having control or ownership over the company. A  beneficial owner must be a natural person. Where a company or other legal entity such as a trust or association is identified as having a link to BO information, a natural person having some form of ultimate control, either directly or indirectly, over the identified legal entity has to be identified. In addition to providing the personal details of beneficial owners, the nature of their interest in the company must be declared. Please refer to the FIA Act for a detailed description of beneficial ownership.
