Ewo... Why don't you do it at the cac office closest to you.. You can do the name search online with just 500 naira and then after successful search and the name is available then just head to their office and register the business name. Which costs basically 10k but i am sure the person doing the reg will ask for their own small amount too
Re: How Do I Register The Name Of My Company (CAC) by Nobody: 8:35pm On Jul 25, 2016
First of all, it depends on the type of name you want to register, just a business name or a private liability. Each of them has associated costs but like the posters above me have said, name search is just 500 and business name is 10k while private liability is north of 50k.

Don't let people scam you oo.

Registering a business name is not rocket science. Create value first; give a helping hand before advertising anything you are doing. Instead of guiding the guy and at least trying to answer the question, you are trying to make a fast buck. That is everything wrong with the mindset of people in this country. If this guy asked this question on warrior forum, he would be drowning in answers by now. Nigerians are the most selfish people on this planet and that only increases our poverty.

You can attack me oo but i won't read it anyway so knock yourself out. All I'm saying is, we should have the mindset of creating value. that is the only way people prosper.

Thank you all, I have done it through the guidelines you all mentioned, it was very easy and stress free.
I blame the so call agents (touts),, (parading their selves as lawyers just to defraud you of your sweat) . I met outside and inside CAC that led me to believe that I can't do it on my own.

Exactly. Very easy and stress free. The first business name i registered, a lawyer friend that i met told me to bring 50k. my friend oo...a few days later, I took the step and went to CAC. I registered the business name for 10,750 without any stress or hassles. Anybody can do it.

Warrior forum is a forum like nairaland. Freelancer is a job outsourcing site like fiverr. the two are never the same thing. so I don't see how freelancer could kill warrior forum. It's like saying LIB killed nairaland...

You should have asked me what I mean. You are new to that forum and hence your postion. Freelancer.com bought warrior forum and if you feel consider its current state as the best, then my brother, you were never around when warrior forum was rave of the world internet marketers. The big dogs HAVE all left bro, just a few that are remaining.

Re: How Do I Register The Name Of My Company (CAC) by DeConsultant: 5:20pm On Jan 03, 2022
SOME CORPORATE CAVEATS FOR YOUR BUSINESS IN 2022.
1. BUSINESS NAME
Yes, you registered your business name in 2021, even if it was in the month of December, the company will be due for ANNUAL RETURNS in 2022. Do not wait until the CAC search engine tag it INACTIVE before you do the needful and default will also attract penalty.

2. LIMITED COMPANIES
I incorporated my company in 2021 too. Yes, depending on the month, especially when it was incorporated before July, this means you will be filing annual returns in 2022. The law is 18 months after incorporation. Always know you have a fiduciary duty to do this and avoid penalty and INACTIVE status.

3. INCORPORATED TRUSTEES
Incorporated Trustees or NGOs? Yes, Church, Mosque, Club, Foundation, Initiative, Association etc. are also not left out on filing ANNUAL RETURNS. If, it was registered in 2021, then they are also liable to file, default will attract PENALTY and INACTIVE status on the CAC search web.

4. INACTIVE STATUS
What about I that registered before or prior 2021 and my company is showing INACTIVE on the CAC search web? Every company promoter must know that they owe the corporate entity a fiduciary duty to be free from liabilities and be in the good books of relevant industry regulators. As you may know, your company status is public knowledge. File your company’s ANNUAL RETURNS up to date.

5. UPGRADE MY BUSINESS NAME
I have a registered business name, but I desire and want to upgrade that same business name as a LIMITED COMPANY. Yes, it is achievable and stress-free, if you have the copy of the CAC Certificate of the existing Business Name. Do this to keep trading with the goodwill you have built on the existing business name.

6. CHANGE IN REGISTERED COMPANY ADDRESS
My company recently relocated its office address from where we initially used in the CAC documents. Yes, that is a welcome development, but you must act in good faith by duly notifying and filing to effect this change in the company document with the CAC. You will be penalize if you default after 14 days.

7. I WANT A GROUP
I want to expand, or I have expanded my business interests, but I have only 1 registered limited company and will like to have a GROUP. Having a GROUP is possible and it is not cumbersome. You must have at least 3 registered companies, this companies will be the subsidiaries and shareholders of the intended GROUP. Then, getting the GROUP is achievable.
8. CHANGE IN THE COMPANY STRUCTURE
My company made some changes in the structure of the company whether recently or before now and we would like to effect the changes in the bank. Do you know that you owe a fiduciary duty to firstly notify and file the changes within 14 days with the CAC? Default will attract fines and penalties. Always keep your company safe from liabilities.

9. VALUED ADDED TAX (VAT)
My registered business name has commenced operation on or before 6 months ago and I don’t know I am meant to be filing VAT (Value Added Tax) monthly. Ignorantia Juris Non Excusat (Ignorance of the law is not an excuse). It is meant to be filed on or before 21st of every month. Do this and avoid any penalty or liability from the FIRS.

10. USING NGO TO DO BUSINESS
I registered a Limited by Guarantee or an Incorporated Trustees (Club, Church, Mosque, Association, Initiative, Foundation etc.) and I have running business services or goods with it, and I have been making profit from it, though I have been using majority of the proceeds to further the objectives of the NGO. Desist from such acts, it is called ultra-vires. You are not meant to run a business with an NGO, unless you want it to be taxable and an IT isn’t a profit-making machine. Continuity will attract penalties, fines and soil the integrity of the entity.
