Can someone open FCMB BUSINESS ACCOUNT when your business is registered as an enerprise or must it be limited?
Yes, I opened as enterprise.

You will fill the same corporate form as Ltd but leave out details you don't have. All those yellow shirt boys would be rather too willing to help, (don't go to the ladies, they have their own special assignments and their target is well beyond yours so they might be impatient).

@ francizy, yes you can search online but be careful, you know office workers can frustrate you when you want to do I-too-know, but it depends.

Business registration has never been easier. All you need is a valid ID, drivers license or international passport or national ID card. And then if it is a business name you need passport photos. A professional certificate may be requested if your business will provide professional consultancy services (not needed for all companies ).
Business Name costs N13,500 with CAC. Go to their state office and you can do it yourself.
Limited company needs an accredited agent, you cannot do it yourself. You need either a lawyer, a chartered accountant or a chartered secretary. You could be charged N60,000 or more.

Ltd is advisable to be done by a pro or lawyer (>50k)

Hello fellow Nairalanders, I need your help on information that can help in Business Registration in Nigeria, Benin City precisely.
What type of registration will suit a small Fabrication firm?
How much will the registration cost?
Can the registration be done in Benin City?
Which Bank is the best to open a corporate account, considering charges specifically?

You can add other useful information if you like.

You can do "BUSINESS NAME" registration as this one does not carry much requirements from CAC.You can do it by yourself in Benin if there a branch of CAC there. For a small fabrication business.All you need is your passport photograph. When you get there obtain a form for NAME SEARCH, which you will fill with your proposed choice of your busines name. If there is no business using one of the names submitted, it will be reserved for you for 60 days. This is the preliminary stage. Paraadventure, there is no CAC branch in Benin, I can assist you to get it done expressly here in Lagos. As for banks to open corporate account, I will suggest you vist some of the commercial banks branches in your area and get information from them. Based on the information gotten from them, you can now decide which one will serve your purpose businesswise. I suggest Diamond bank will be okay for you as they help small businesses to grow. For further info you can reach me on 08099341833 . Have a nice weekend.

OK, I'm not a banker or a pro, just giving ideas from my experience.
It could be that some banks give general form (kind of) but when transferring the info to the system, they choose the code (something customer really should not be bother with if a competent officer is handling your account opening.

I will watch out for the code next time I see my account opening folder.

I think it is high time people on this platform learn to conduct themselves. How dare you call me a scammer on a platform I have been since 2012 as a registered member. What is wrong in offering useful info to a member seeking advice. You better be very careful in your future posts. Please check my profile properly and don't be a barbaric fool.

As long as the documents/IDs of both parties are available, one person can do it but you would need to take the acct opening form/specimen form to the other person to sign (a must).

Company Registration

Before you can access contracts from multinationals and even government agencies, you MUST be legally registered with CAC (Corporate Affairs Commission). Your company or organization can be registered under three main spheres;
1. Enterprise
2. Limited Liability Company
3. Non-governmental organization

The first one costs around N16,000 if you walk into any CAC office and do it yourself (but costs around N30,000 if you use the services of a lawyer). It takes approximately 2 weeks for your certificate to be ready. The second costs around N70,000 of you do it yourself also (but costs around N90,000 if you use the services of a lawyer). The third requires a lawyer and costs around N120,000.
