About CAC Business Registration
What is a Company Registration and Why Do I need it
Company registration in Nigeria is registering a business entity or organization with the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
To gain access to various benefits, such as tax exemptions, corporate banking accounts, business permits, and more, you must take the steps to be legally recognized as a company in the country.
If you want to start a business in Nigeria, you need to register it with the CAC. The company’s name must include its area of operation, and it cannot contain any offensive words or phrases. After you register the name with the CAC, you must register for a Value Added Tax (VAT) and get a Tax Identification Number (TIN). Once you have met these requirements, you can register.
Does this sound overwhelming?
We get it. Starting a business in Nigeria can be daunting, and understanding all the legal requirements is tough. That’s why we’ve created an easy-to-use online platform that takes care of all your registration needs with no fuss or hassle.
You’ll have complete peace of mind knowing everything is being done correctly and efficiently without worries or stress on your part.
Once you’re done registering, our secure delivery system will automatically deliver your documents right to your inbox or phone.
Since 2019
Why Did We Build Counseal?
Nigeria is a tough place to do business. You need to be careful and make sure you’re working within the legal framework. I learned the hard way that it’s not easy to find the right experts who can guide you through the constantly shifting laws and regulations.
And fixing this problem is what made me start Authority Wit, the makers of Counseal.
We’re on a mission to make the legal and business process simpler. Our team of legal and tech experts builds and uses technologies to help businesses and investors like you unlock your business potential.
We work hard to make the stress of doing business in Nigeria a story of the past.
