Namibia Close Corporation Founding Statement (Form CC 1)

The close corporation's existing BIPA registration number (format "CC/YYYY/NNNNN"). Left blank when this Founding Statement is lodged to register a brand-new close corporation, since BIPA assigns the registration number upon incorporation (see the form's own "Certificate of Incorporation" page, which is Registrar-completed and excluded from this schema); populated only when this Founding Statement is being lodged against an already-registered corporation (e.g. an amendment).

The proposed or registered full name of the close corporation. Under the Close Corporations Act, 1988, every close corporation's name must end with "CC".

Literal Translation of Name (If Applicable)

Shortened Form of Name (If Applicable)

Description of Principal Business

The day and month on which the corporation's financial year ends (e.g. "28/02"), recurring every year — the source prints no year component alongside this caption, unlike a one-off calendar date.

The corporation's postal address, printed as a multi-line blank block.

The corporation's registered office address; the source's own caption explicitly excludes a post office box ("not post office box").

Email Address

Every Namibian close corporation must appoint an accounting officer (Close Corporations Act, 1988). Modelled as a separate field from the officer's address below, since the source's single "Name and address of accounting officer" caption spans both concepts across several blank lines.

Address of Accounting Officer

The professional body (e.g. an institute of accountants) the accounting officer belongs to, confirming eligibility to act as accounting officer for a close corporation.

Membership/Practice No.

Modelled as a signature-name attestation, per this registry's established convention for a printed signature line.

Total number of members of this close corporation. The Close Corporations Act, 1988 permits a maximum of ten (10) members; Part C of the source form itself prints exactly five repeated two-member blocks across pages 3-7, matching this statutory maximum. Not itself a printed field — supplied so a consuming agent can determine how many of the ten bounded member slots below apply, per this registry's established bounded-repeating-group convention.

Full names and surname of the member. Where the member is a juristic person, the source's own Notes page instructs stating its name and capacity (and, if a trustee, the name and particulars of the testamentary trust) here instead.

Whether member 1 is a juristic person (a company, trust, or other body corporate) rather than a natural person. Not printed as an explicit checkbox on the source form — the source instead prints two adjacent blanks, "Identity number or date of birth (i)" for a natural person and "Registration number (ii)" for a juristic person, with no explicit either/or signal; this discriminator is added so a consuming agent can determine which of the two identity fields below applies, per this registry's established pattern for the same ambiguity (e.g. zm/pacra/company-incorporation's own isBodyCorporate fields).

The member's identity document number; if no identity document has been issued, the Notes page instructs stating the date of birth here instead. Applicable only to a natural-person member.

The registration number of the member, where the member is itself a juristic person.
