The familiar part

Does this sound familiar?

Beneficial Ownership Management should be a process. Not a puzzle you solve from scratch every anniversary.

01

You're manually working out who hits the 5% threshold

Scrolling through spreadsheets, cross-referencing share registers, hoping you haven't missed a beneficial owner or miscounted an indirect holding.

02

You've emailed the director three times. Still no signature.

You have no visibility into whether they've seen it, ignored it, or lost it. Meanwhile the CIPC deadline is counting down.

03

One shareholder changed their address. Your whole filing is stale.

It was already sent. Now you cancel, update the register, regenerate the docs, and start the chase all over again.

Replace the manual process with
one that runs itself.

A better filing rhythm

From register to filed.
Without the chase.

01

Your shareholder data is already there

Intersect reads your existing register, automatically flags every shareholder at 5% or above, and identifies company shareholders that require further disclosure up the ownership chain.

02

Documents generated in seconds

The Mandate to Lodge Beneficial Ownership, Register of Beneficial Owners, and BO Diagram are auto-created from your existing company data. Nothing to type, nothing to format.

03

Digital signing tasks sent automatically

Directors receive an email with an e-signature request. Shareholders receive an upload task for their certified ID. Every task is tracked in real time from your Practice Tasks dashboard.

04

Submit directly to CIPC

Once all tasks are complete, file from inside Intersect. All documents are automatically saved to the client's Document Hub.

The details matter

Quietly powerful.
Exceptionally clear.

The kind of automation that gives a practice manager their Friday afternoon back.

Effective ownership calculations

Intersect calculates effective ownership percentages across every level of the structure β€” not just direct holders. Every corporate shareholder is looked through until a real person is found, with their aggregated effective % reported accurately.

Real-time task tracking

See exactly who has signed, who is pending, and who hasn't opened the email. Follow-up reminders sent from inside the platform.

Stale filing detection

If shareholder data changes after tasks are sent, Intersect flags the filing as stale and guides you to cancel, update, and restart β€” before you discover the problem at CIPC.

Deadline countdown with visual urgency

Every company shows a live countdown from green (>30 days) to orange (under 30 days) to red (overdue). Never miss a deadline across your entire portfolio again.

Beneficial Ownership Management, always in view.

CIPC requires beneficial ownership to be filed within 30 business days of a company's anniversary date. Late filing attracts penalties up to R1,000 per company. With Intersect, your entire portfolio is visible from a single dashboard β€” so nothing slips through the cracks.

CIPC look-through requirement

Your corporate shareholders have shareholders too.
Intersect finds them all.

CIPC requires you to look through every company in your register until you reach a real person β€” aggregating each individual's effective ownership percentage across every level of the chain. A 60% holder in a company that holds 55% has a 33% effective holding. That maths compounds fast across multi-layered group structures.

Intersect handles Beneficial Ownership Management end to end, aligned with the official CIPC Beneficial Ownership rules and the wider Intersect platform β€” it maps the full structure and calculates effective ownership automatically, then sends certified ID and signing tasks to every individual it finds β€” whether a simple two-director company or a five-layer group. Every task tracked to completion without you chasing anyone.
