What took a morning of copying, printing and scanning now takes a few minutes.
One source of truth
Register, cap table and Beneficial Ownership always agree. They're built from the same data.
Always CIPC-ready
Your statutory share register is current and complete, ready for CIPC or auditors on demand.

Managing share registers by hand is painful.

Spreadsheets, Word certificates, and version chaos, for every company you manage.

Your register lives in a spreadsheet no one can find

Somewhere in a shared drive, or emailed last month. Every update spawns a new version, and every version could be the source of truth.

You're rebuilding certificates in Word, every time

Copy the template, retype the name, date and share numbers, then print, sign, scan and email. Six steps that should be none.

One transfer means updating five documents

The register, the certificate, the BO register, the cap table and the client folder, all by hand, every single time.

Record it once. Intersect does the rest.

Add a shareholder or record a transaction once, and your register, cap table, certificates and Beneficial Ownership structure all update automatically. Nothing to duplicate, nothing to reconcile.

  • One live register for every shareholder
  • Certificates and registers built from your data
  • No paperwork. No duplicate entry.

From transaction to compliant register.
Automatically.

Every issue, transfer, and buyback follows the same path. Nothing duplicated, nothing forgotten.

You record one transaction

Everything your share register needs.
In one place.

Live cap table

Every shareholder, share class and percentage, updated the moment you record a transaction. No reconciliation required.

When a company holds shares, Intersect looks through every layer to identify the ultimate beneficial owners, at every level of the structure.

Document Hub integration

Certificates, registers and transfer forms land in the client's Document Hub the moment they're generated. No filing, no scanning, no searching.

Multiple share classes

Ordinary, preference or custom. Track every class with its own register, certificates and percentage calculations.

Effective ownership aggregated across every layer, automatically.

See through every layer of ownership.

  • Corporate shareholders expanded to their ultimate individual owners
  • Effective percentages calculated automatically at every level
  • Fed straight into your CIPC Beneficial Ownership register

Your entire portfolio.
Every register. One screen.

Every client's register status, shareholder count, and open actions, on one screen.

Everything you need to know about share register management software

Do I need to migrate my existing share register into Intersect?
Yes, but it's straightforward. You enter your current shareholders and their holdings once during setup. From that point on, every transaction is recorded and tracked in the platform. Most practices complete the migration for a company in under 15 minutes.
Does Intersect handle multiple share classes?
Yes. You can create as many share classes as your company structure requires: ordinary, preference, or custom-named classes, each tracked separately in the register with their own certificates and percentage calculations.
How does the share register link to Beneficial Ownership?
Your share register is the source of truth for your BO Register. When you update a shareholder's details or record a transaction, the Beneficial Ownership structure recalculates automatically, including looking through corporate shareholders to find the ultimate beneficial owners at every level of the chain.
Are share certificates legally compliant with the Companies Act?
Certificates generated by Intersect follow the requirements of the Companies Act, 71 of 2008. They include the company name, registration number, shareholder details, number of shares, share class, and certificate number. As with any statutory document, you remain responsible for confirming the accuracy of the underlying data.
Can I manage share registers for multiple clients from one account?
Yes. Intersect is built for practices managing portfolios of companies. Your Ownership dashboard shows every client's register status, shareholder count, and outstanding actions across your entire portfolio on a single screen.
What happens when a company shareholder itself has shareholders?
Intersect applies the CIPC look-through requirement automatically. If a company holds shares in your client, Intersect follows that company's own register to identify the individuals behind it, aggregating effective ownership percentages across every level of the structure until every shareholder above 5% is accounted for.
