Company Registration In Nigeria

Yeah,
I have had the opportunity to register 3 different companies in the past - 1 business name and 2 limited liability companies.  As long as it'll be cheaper for you to do it yourself at the CAC office, I'd rather suggest that you talk to someone @ the CAC office who will be of help.

I can help you out with the person who helped me if you so desire.  My email address is eolutosin@gmail.com. The lady would be able to put you through on the basis of things you need. The amount you would eventually pay for the Limited Liability Registration depends on your share capital.

When we did our registration then for 1 Million share capital, we ended up paying a total sum of 35k naira. This include the commission for the lady that helped us out.  I heard that the cost has changed now, but it should not be more than the 50k. Moreover, you would need to supply the details of the shareholders and directors when registering also.

Take care.

Seun, the official fee on the website is not the exact fee paid in reality! I incorporate companies for some clients and i can tell you for free that the ordinary individual cannot register a company himself. Lawyers and chartered secretaries are allowed to do this at the CAC in Abuja. The incorporation fees cover application forms, stamp duties, incorporation documents and filing. Infact some of the fees are not paid at the CAC but at the Federal Inland Revenue Office responsible for stamp duties.

Prosper, you need to provide information about the proposed names and addresses of the company, directors, objects of the company, shareholding, share capital and the type of company to anybody you give the job to.  However if you require more information send me a personal message on this forum.

@admin: Still working on your request.

@chimanu2000: I can help you with the business name and private company registration when you are ready because they will require you to provide some information.  However, you can send a personal message to discuss the details for confidentiality.  Business name registration is not more than ten thousand while the private comapny registration fee will depend on the type of company and share capital.

Kodewrita, you can operate under a registered business name if you're a one man operation.

very accurate information delarontus

Because we are a third world country and things have to be made hard so we can remain as third worlders


The Nigerian system is set up as a command and control economy/govt. with everything happening from the center. Every official expects to be told what to do from a mysterious central command and even Perm Secs and Ministers turn around and say, 'We have not been told what to do yet'..

The states are mere legal structures for spending money and not to carry out any meanigfull admin purpose.

In general, I have found out that paying a fee for this type of task (i.e. hiring a lawyer to do it) is cheaper that doing it for free

You get what you pay for and the free help may come with lots of undocumented payments.

Tosin,

Abujabooks: i have seen your comments/? on one or two threads regarding registration of company. Please note that there are dubious people going around all in the name of registration. Locate the person's office, ask for a copy of such jobs that they have done. Sometimes, the amount charged depends on the share capital and the share capital also depends on the nature of business. For example u will require 10m share capital for a business like transportation, oil and gas, methanol etc while 1m share capital would be ok for a marketing coy. if you require more info please holla me at kleandenation at yahoo dot ca. Thanks.

I've applied & registered with new massive Coy to be one of their Contractors in building branches & other offices all over Nigeria. However i'm yet to register a company.i've 3 months grace period to register a company to this eFfect. please can a proffessional put me through a step by step procedeur on what to do or go about it, the requirements & finance involved. Thanx

Hi, there is no hard and fast rule. Contact a professional, give him/her your desired name(s) which would be submitted to the CAC. If the name (s) is approved, the next level would be preparation of memo and article, stamping of memo at the stamp duty office and subsequently submission at the CAC for registration. For more you can  holla me at kleandenation@yahoo.ca

Poke, can you email me the contact you used for your incorporation. I want to incorporate a company,  My email is ukoparah@yahoo.com

Thanks
