Thanks for the article. It is informative. Can one register a business that have been running for many years without a registered name. I ask this because on my registration form, there is a field named : "Date of Commencement of Business". Can one backdate it to several years, if the the business has been running without a registered name.
Re: Frequently Asked Questions: A-Z Of Company Registration In Nigeria by ojochidem(m): 11:54pm On May 14, 2016
Hello @Lawyer. If one's Business name certificate is missing but he still has photocopies does he still need to request for a new one from CAC?



lawyer:


Ouch! undecided

Sorry i havent gotten to you back for a while, i have been a little busy but i'll try to answer your questions as best as possible:

Generally all your documents have been burnt and the only way you can get them back is by applying for a certified true copy of all of them except the tax clearance and i am afraid its going to cost you a hell of a lot of money because this is what CAC prays for:

1. Firstly, you have to pay for company search to trace the name and certificate exists and you have to buy the forms and pay for search fees

2. To get the certified true copy of the CAC 2 and CAC 7, You have to purchase the forms, complete it, pay the prescribed filing fees and show evidence of your payment of Annual Returns

3.To get a certified True copy of your Certificate of Incorporation, you have to swear an Affidavit signed by a commissioner of oaths deposed to by one of the Directors

b. Write a formal application to the CAC to retrieve your certificate

c. Pay for the filing fees

d. Show evidence of your payment of your Annual Returns up to date

4. If you dont have a copy of your FIRS reciept, you have to pay N8,500 to procure a new one

5. To get the Memo or CTC of it, you have to show evidence of your annual returns, pay the filing fees.

To be frank, your going to spend nothing less than NN40,000-N50000 to get everything back into shape and thats including the proof of Annual Returns.

I am sorry mate but those are the rules undecided

Its better to register a new one than go through these hassles because their fees fluctuate everyday. If you have a photocopy of it, it will make life better a bit but if you didnt make copies of it, you cannot escape these fees and procedures!

Cheers

I just read some of this and I think I was misinformed. I just filled for the incorporation of my company on the CAC website and I have paid and all. They sent me the pages to sign and to give to my "solicitor ". Is this going to be a problem? Seems the lawyer I choose won't find this funny.

I learnt a company can be registered without a share capital. What is the implication of this?

[quote author=Bluffly post=56002294]

Yes that is correct, there are some types of companies that can be registered without share capital.

1. Business name
2. Partnership
2. Limited by Guarantee
3. Sometimes, an unlimited company.
4. NGO or IT

The implication is that, all the insufficiency and debts that the company may carry or as a result in the normal transactions of the company will be borne and indemnify by the parties, directors and people involved. The most important is that all parties in the company will have equal rights to the company. Whether it is voting, meeting, resolutions etc.

Unlike a limited by shares company that has shareholders, where every individual shares determine their rights and privileges in the company. Some have the majority interest and others the minority interest.

Hello Nairalanders, I understand that the Corporate Affairs Commission is trying to make every proprietor, director and trustee register their company entities by themselves but you will all agree with me that, experience and professionalism can not be compromised. Everyday i do receive calls from clients that they are stuck or having issues at one point or the other along their respective company registrations.

Now, why not allow a PROFESSIONAL CAC Accredited Agent assist at a low cost with no stress, hassle or panic. It will baffle you that some clients have been battling with their registration process for 6 months, a year, some even two years. Just a pre-incorporation process. Knowledge and professionalism cannot be undermined or compromised.

The total estimated cost for a business name with all inclusive charges (transport, fees and other miscellaneous): N17,500 apparently we are just simply offering self-less services for a BUSINESS NAME at N25,000 with a duration of 5 Working days.

At Gomez Corporate Consult LTD (a registered legal consulting firm with CAC Accreditation, IPON Accreditation e.t.c), we are thankful to God that we have assisted over 200 clients in Nigeria and Diaspora with their registration processes, ranging from Business Names, Limited Companies, NGOs (IT), Trademarks, Patents, Tax papers & filings, EFCC SCUML Registration & Corporate Account Opening e.t.c..

At an affordable cost:

Business Name Registration: N25,000 (Certificate will be out within 5 working days)
Limited Liability Company (1 million share capital): N70,000 (Certificate will be out within 5 Working days)
Incorporated Trustees (NGO, Church, Mosque, Foundation, Club, Initiatives): N120,000 (Certificate will be out within 32 days (inclusive of the mandatory 28 days for public opinion).

Firstly, for a change of name for an existing registered company (post-incorporation). There are quite a number of obligation that must first be fulfilled before CAC can effect the changes.
1. Have the company paid Annual Returns up to date.

2. A special resolution must be raised by the board of directors of the said company, stating reason for the change of name and the new proposed company name.

3. A new name search & availability must be initiated and the proposed new company name must be approve by CAC, the new approved company name must be filed along all other relevant documents.

4. An application for change in company name must be raise as well.

5. The prescribed fees must be paid.

6. Remember it must be filed by an accredited agent or a director in the company.

Secondly, change of director is almost the same procedure, just that the resolution will be an ordinary resolution. There will be application for CTCs. It is quite similar as the first application.
