If you operate or will operate under a common law trust, you can register and list the trust name in the Bizregister (link above).

This helps affirm the trust’s public identity for trading, asset protection, or other private purposes.

If you would like the option of registering for tax and receiving a sole proprietor certificate linked to the common law trust name, apply here: soleproprietor.co.za (Most people select option 2.)

Or simply apply for a common law trust name certificate*.
