PtyLaunchpad is published by InkyPyrus Publishing.
PtyLaunchpad is designed, built and maintained by InkyPyrus Publishing — a South African publishing & digital studio that turns dense source material into clear, usable learning. We write the course, build the platform it lives on, and keep it current as CIPC, SARS and the Companies Act change. Payments are collected by InkyPyrus, so InkyPyrus is what you'll see on your card statement.
The course is built straight from primary sources — the Companies Act 71 of 2008 and current SARS, CIPC and labour rules — not recycled internet advice. Where the law is nuanced, we say so and point you to the official source. Every lesson is in plain English, with South African examples and a real worked company (Lerato's Kitchen (Pty) Ltd) running through it from start to finish.
We're not a law firm or an accounting practice, and this course is education, not legal or tax advice. For decisions with legal or financial consequences, confirm with CIPC/SARS or a professional — and the course shows you exactly when that's worth doing.
Clear, current, and on your side.
We keep the material accurate and up to date, in plain English, with South African examples throughout. If the Core Course doesn't help you feel ready to set up and run your company, there's a 30-day money-back guarantee — no hard feelings.
