1.1 Ann, Jack and Sam are three friends who wish to start their own
publishing company. While driving one Sunday afternoon, Jack comes
across the perfect office building. He wishes to purchase this building
on behalf of the proposed company. Advise Jack what the
requirements are that would need to be adhered to in terms of the
Companies Act 71 of 2008 in order to conclude a valid and binding
contract on the company’s behalf before its incorporation. Also list
the different common law alternatives that Jack could consider
instead. (12)
In terms of section 21 of the Companies Act 71 of 2008, any person wishing
to establish a company can enter into a contract with a third party on behalf
of a company that is not yet formed. After that company has been formed,
then the entered contract will be transferred to the company. In this case, as
Jack wishes to purchase the building on behalf of the proposed company, he
can make use of this section.
In terms of section 21 of the Companies Act, the contract will be valid and
binding if:
➢ it is entered by a person wishing to start a company on behalf of a
company that does not exist yet. In this case Jack would be doing so.
➢ the contract is in writing.
➢ the board of the company approves and accepts the terms and conditions
of the contract within a period of three months after its formation.
