emmy4real94:
so, if I give my name for a search and pay the search fee, and the name already exists, I will still give another name and keep paying search fees??

That's why you need to conduct your name search first before starting the process at all.

Check my profile for contact details. I would help you out at no cost..

No you don't need to go to Abuja, you can start and complete the process yourself...just go to CAC website and register with your email address...

www.services.CAC.gov.ng

After that you submit 2 names and pay a search fee of about 700Naira

If the names are approved you can then commence the registration process.

All payments are made online

Make sure you save copies of all online receipts you receive

Items you need:
Valid means of identification

An operational email account

A passport photograph

A certificate of competence in the field of area of the type of business you want to register

Your debit card with at least 11K for making payments

You also need access to a scanner cos there is a form you will fill online then later you print it then scan and upload after you have affixed your passport photograph and appended your signature

The whole process can be completed in about 1 week assuming you do everything properly and do not get a query.

NB- When filling the forms there is a section that asks if you need extra copies of certificates and documents, leave this blank. If you request for an extra certificate your fee will be higher.

After scanning the documents you want to upload make sure you name them appropriately so the CAC official who will process your application will not have difficulty identifying them

If you are based in Lagos I will recommend that you select Alausa as your preferred point of collection for your certificate of business name registration

This is absolutely not true!

You can't complete the process on your own!

CAC itself has empowered 3rd party guys to be doing the process and you have to go through them.
Stop misleading people, this guy in question is talking about business name registration and not incorporation. Business NAME REGISTRATION is actually the processes he outlined there, and you don't need an iota service(s) of any third party in achieving it. Thanks.

it is true every detail is correct except the certificate of competency he made mention,all other details are true,I did my registration and that of my brother from the comfort of my bed room,no third party needed for business registration only on company registration incorporated.. third-party is needed
yeah you are right, I did mine from the comfort of my home too. Certificate of competence was a prerequisite before.

Please I just got back from zenith Bank to make enquiries on requirements to open a business account, was told they charge 9k for verification from CAC and one naira for every thousand naira transaction. I have no issue with the one naira charge but the 9k for verification is not cool with me at all. Haba! business that I'm just starting, have I even made 9k profit. Please what bank would you suggest is best to open business current account with as per startup biz? Thanks
same with all banks, there is always a charge for CAC search
Re: How Much Do I Need To Register A Business Name With CAC? by drlateef: 7:27am On Sep 02, 2020
I did it myself online. I paid 11,000 naira because I asked for copies that are not needed and they did not even give them to me except one copy of the certificate and registration form which I completed online. It would be 3000 naira only if you request just one copy each of the two I mentioned. You pay 500 naira to reserve your business name. You don’t need any agent. It took about 1-2 months to get everything done.

Have you registered business name before? Am sure you have not. You only need a service of lawyer if you want to register for ltd. So don't stiff your nose in what you don't know. I registered my business name last year at CAC office in Kano where I base. Every thing was #11, 200. No third party. The CAC officials will register it for you withing 10 minutes.

Okay, but can I collect the certificate on the person's behalf when it is ready?


No, the person must come by emself, only agents do that but their fee is very high about N25k

Hi everyone, I want to go through the process, but I am not in the country. Is there still a chance to do it especially considering the point of collection.

2. On their website, I saw a space to put in your NI number which I have lost apparently, is that compulsory please?
