CIPC verification SLA

Money → trust: paid identity verification for B2B companies on SupplierAdvisor, with a clear 24-hour service target.

What you get

A CIPC-verified badge on your public company profile and directory listing after a live company match. Buyers can trust that the legal identity was checked against CIPC data — not just a free form checkbox.

  • Price: R69 once (ZAR via Paystack)
  • SLA: target badge within 24h of payment
  • Re-run: free if pending/failed (same ref)
  • Mismatch: apply CIPC name or fix reg/VAT

How the path works

  1. 1
    Pay R69

    Secure Paystack checkout. Payment reference is stored on your company profile.

  2. 2
    CIPC match

    We call VerifyNow CIPC with your registration or VAT number and compare legal names.

  3. 3
    Public badge

    On success, verification_status becomes verified and the directory shows your trust badge.

  4. 4
    24-hour SLA

    We aim for badge (or clear mismatch/failure) within 24 hours of successful payment.

  5. 5
    Free re-run

    If CIPC is pending or failed, re-use the same payment — no second charge. Ops auto-replays at-risk cases.

For partners evaluating trust

Verified companies on the SupplierAdvisor directory completed this paid path. Look for the CIPC-verified badge and the “24h paid SLA” marker on public profiles. Unverified listings may still trade, but verified identity is the trust default for serious B2B deals.
