Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Still have questions? Browse our FAQs or chat with us directly on WhatsApp.

The Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) is Nigeria's official body for business registration. Registering your business with the CAC gives it legal recognition, allowing you to open corporate bank accounts, enter contracts, pay taxes correctly, and operate with full legitimacy.
A Business Name registration is for sole proprietors or partnerships. It ties your business identity to you personally — meaning you bear full personal liability for debts. A Limited Company (Ltd) is a separate legal entity. It protects your personal assets, allows multiple shareholders, and gives you greater credibility for contracts and investments.
Business Name registration typically takes 24–72 hours after submission of all required documents. Limited Company registration may take 3–7 working days. Timelines can vary based on CAC workload, but we keep you updated throughout the process.
For Business Name registration: valid government-issued ID (NIN, international passport, or driver's licence), passport photograph, proposed business name, and business address. For Limited Company: the above for each director/shareholder, proposed company name, registered address, Memorandum and Articles of Association. We guide you through exactly what's needed for your specific registration type.
Yes, absolutely. The CAC registration process is largely online. You can provide all your information and documents to us digitally, and we process everything on your behalf. You do not need to visit any government office or our office.
Yes, we specialise in serving Nigerians in the diaspora. We act as your trusted local representative in Nigeria. You submit documents remotely, we process everything locally, and your registration certificate is delivered to you digitally — no travel required.
SCUML (Special Control Unit against Money Laundering) registration is required for Designated Non-Financial Businesses and Professions (DNFBPs) in Nigeria. This includes real estate agents, car dealers, lawyers, accountants, jewellers, and others. Failure to register with SCUML can result in regulatory penalties. We handle the entire SCUML registration process for you.
Annual Returns is a yearly compliance obligation for all CAC-registered businesses. Business Names must file within 60 days of their anniversary; Limited Companies have different timelines. Failure to file attracts penalties and can result in your company being struck off the register. We file Annual Returns on behalf of our clients and send deadline reminders.
Trademark registration in Nigeria is handled by the Trademarks, Patents and Designs Registry under the Federal Ministry of Industry, Trade and Investment. The process involves conducting a trademark search, filing the trademark application, examination, publication in the Trade Journal, and registration. The entire process can take 12–24 months, but once registered, your trademark is protected for 7 years and renewable.
You do not need a lawyer for a straightforward Business Name or Limited Company registration. Our professional consultants are well-versed in the CAC registration requirements and process. For complex structures involving large share capital, multiple classes of shares, or special legal drafting, we can refer you to appropriate legal professionals.
The cost depends on the type of registration and the nature of your business. Government fees are set by the CAC and vary. Our professional service fees are added transparently. We give you a full cost breakdown before you commit. Contact us on WhatsApp for a personalised quote with no hidden charges.
Incorporated Trustee is the legal structure for NGOs, charities, religious organisations, and associations in Nigeria, registered under Part F of the Companies and Allied Matters Act (CAMA 2020). It gives your organisation a separate legal identity, the ability to open bank accounts, own property, and receive donations formally.
After your company is registered, business needs change. We handle Change of Company Address, Addition of Directors, Removal of Directors, Share Transfer, Change of Company Secretary, and Increase of Share Capital — all filed correctly with the CAC.
We take client confidentiality very seriously. All documents shared with us are handled with strict discretion. We do not share client information with third parties except as required for the registration process (i.e., submission to the CAC or relevant government agency). You may request our privacy policy for full details.
Yes. We design professional, mobile-first websites for startups, SMEs, NGOs, churches, consultancies, e-commerce businesses, and more. Our websites are built for speed, lead generation, and search engine visibility. We also provide hosting and domain registration guidance. Contact us for a quote and portfolio review.
