Straight answers
The questions every cautious founder asks — answered honestly.
Are these documents actually legally valid in South Africa?
They are professionally structured templates drafted to align with the relevant South African legislation — POPIA, PAIA, the Basic Conditions of Employment Act, the Companies Act, the Consumer Protection Act and ECTA. They give you a sound, compliant starting point. They are not a substitute for tailored legal advice on complex or high-value matters, which is why we offer an optional attorney-review add-on.
Who stands behind them if something goes wrong?
We are upfront: FoundersDesk is not a law firm and these are templates, not legal advice. For most everyday needs of a new company they are exactly what you need. If you want a human in the loop, add the attorney-review option at checkout and an admitted South African attorney will review your pack.
What happens when the law changes?
Your purchase includes free updates. When the underlying legislation changes, come back and regenerate your pack with the same details at no extra cost. Your compliance shouldn't go stale.
Do I need to be VAT-registered?
No. If you enter a VAT number, the invoice and quotation templates and the sale terms include the correct VAT treatment. If you leave it blank, they adjust automatically so you don't issue a 'tax invoice' you're not entitled to.
Is this a subscription?
No. It is a once-off payment of R899. You download all 11 documents as editable Word files and they are yours to keep and reuse.
Can I see the quality before I pay?
Yes. You can download a free, watermarked preview of any document first. You only pay once you're happy with what you see.
What format are the documents?
Microsoft Word (.docx) — open and edit them in Word, Google Docs or LibreOffice. Fill in the blanks, add your logo, sign and go.
Don't trade another day uncovered.
Five minutes now versus a R10 million POPIA exposure, an unenforceable contract, or a SARS-invalid invoice later. Generate all 11 documents tonight.
