Govchain - Business Registered in 36 hours

I had registered and paid on a very well crafted website on Thursday afternoon to have a private company registered.

At 9:00am on Friday morning someone emailed me to say I’d missed a few input fields on a form and asked to respond with those details to that email so it could get done for me.

2 hours later I got notification that my company had been registered and Govchain would be collecting my documents for me (Estimated wait time was 1 day on their website).

Saturday morning at 09:30 the same person emailed me to let me know that my documents had been collected and made available for me to download.

The entire process took about 36 hours from start to finish, no business to registered business complete with all the legal documents I need to open a business account and begin trading.

I’ve been trying to do this through FNB for a year now but their platform and call center make it such a c**** I’ve just not gotten it done, try reading a 16-digit case-sensitive reference number to someone over the phone (their business account department is great though)

Seriously stoked with companies like Govchain emerging in SA.
