Guys i was registrating my business on the CAC website, i need the certificate for my business registration for an online payment processor. I was expecting the cost to be somewhere around 15k or less but to my surprise I saw 22k. I am a little confused tho. Is it that i added extra certificates (i.e the additional certificate of registration which would result in me getting two certificates if i pay the extra 10k or i just get one certificate of registration even after paying the extra 10k.) Also do i really need the application for registration of business name certificate or i can skip that.


I know it says one additional copies on both but this is nigeria.. i dont want to make mistakes. please Nairalanders with experience kindly advise me. Thanks

You don't need the additional copies. You can uncheck them and save ur 12k.

i don't know myself.. i just needed to have proof that i registered with CAC which is in form of a certificate. my fear was i have to pay another 10k for the certificate but apparently i don't need to

Hope you know there is a way you present your objects in your memorandum and the way to title your article of association?

theres no where to upload ID card. I just saw the application form and i am yet to fill it but the thing is when i fill it, theres still no where to upload the filled form. I just saw the approval note but there's nothing to fill in it other than comment. Also no where to upload that as well. Am I the one mixing things up?

It is usually involved in filing for llc. I think for business name its just objective.

1. U cant fill anytin on approval note. 2. When u fill the form, u fill it when u login in @ services.cac.gov.ng 3. When u upload, u upload through cac.gov.ng and click on document upload

I'm in the process of registering a business name, but there's something I don't get:
Is it compulsory to fill the box for APPLICATION FOR REGISTRATION OF BUSINESS NAME
- And CERTIFICATE OF REGISTRATION ?

If yes, how many copies? I had thought that that the certificate comes with the standard registration fee. . .

What's the APPLICATION FOR REGISTRATION OF BUSINESS NAME
- exactly? Is it the same as the approval for registration of business name I got earlier?

I'm really at a loss. . . Will appreciate a clear explanation.. .
