What is Close Corporation in Namibia?
A Close Corporation (CC) is a simplified legal entity designed for small businesses, governed by the Close Corporations Act. While BIPA has moved towards phasing out new CC registrations in favour of Pty Ltds, existing CCs remain a valid and popular way to trade in Namibia. We assist with buying existing shelf CCs or managing current CCs.
Who is this service for?
- Small, family-owned businesses
- Sole owners who want liability protection without company complexity
- Existing CC owners needing maintenance or member changes
Key advantages
- Simplicity — no mandatory annual audits; accounting officer is sufficient
- Lower admin costs — fewer formalities than a company
- Member management — members actively manage the business directly
Requirements
- Amended Founding Statement (for member changes)

Ongoing compliance obligations
Annual duty payments to BIPA are mandatory to prevent deregistration. Tax filing requirements — Income Tax, PAYE, VAT — remain the same as other entities.
Frequently asked questions
Can I still register a new Close Corporation in Namibia?
New CC registrations are increasingly restricted by BIPA. Most new businesses are now advised to register as a Pty Ltd. We can assist with purchasing an existing shelf CC.
How do I add a member to my Close Corporation in Namibia?
You need to file an Amended Founding Statement (CK2) with BIPA. Chrimson Consultants prepares all documentation and files on your behalf.
What is the difference between a CC and Pty Ltd in Namibia?
A CC is simpler and cheaper to run but limited to 10 natural persons and cannot raise external capital. A Pty Ltd has higher compliance but is preferred for tenders and investment.
