Complio review
A cloud platform for South African entity records, CIPC returns and governance workflows.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Complio brings company, trust, director, shareholder and beneficial-ownership records together for South African organisations and their advisors. Its audience includes company secretaries, corporate groups, legal teams, accountants, compliance officers and professional-services firms managing multiple entities. The platform connects those records to statutory registers, deadline tracking, CIPC annual returns, governance documents and due-diligence packs, making it relevant to teams coordinating recurring company-secretarial work across entities.
The feature set extends beyond a record store. Complio automatically maintains director, shareholder and beneficial-ownership registers, and its compliance calendar tracks annual returns and other statutory deadlines. Users can generate board and shareholder resolutions from entity records, manage governance documents linked to entities, and trace beneficial ownership with evidence and register generation. FICA / KYC packs and structure charts support due diligence. The Professional plan adds a resolution generator and AI assistant, PAIA and NCA / NCR tracking, advanced reports and role-based access control. Enterprise adds multi-organisation workspaces, an advanced reporting suite, full audit trails, and dedicated onboarding and support.
Pricing is custom and requires contacting sales; the published plans are Starter, Professional and Enterprise. Starter includes entity records and registers, a compliance calendar, beneficial ownership, CIPC annual returns and document management. The service is cloud-based and web-accessible, with email support and listed GDPR and two-factor security features. Its CIPC focus makes it a plausible fit for teams managing South African obligations, but the stated jurisdiction coverage is not specified. Teams needing multi-entity oversight or ownership records may find the localized workflows useful; buyers requiring verified coverage across multiple jurisdictions should compare alternatives before committing.
