In a bid to help MSMEs formalise their businesses, the Federal Government through the Economic Sustainability Plan initiated by Vice President Yemi Osinbajo is registering 250,000 business names for free.

The formalization support under the MSME Survival Fund has already commenced across the country.

This involves free business names’ registration for 250,000 MSMEs nationwide by the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC).

According to the CAC, 6,606 business names in each of the 34 states will be registered for free.

In Abuja, there would be 7,906 free registrations, 9,084 in Lagos and 8,406 free business names from Kano.

HOW TO REGISTER YOUR BUSINESS NAME FREE

Simply contact an aggregator or the focal person in your state to complete your business name registration.

The process was domesticated because some persons in some areas and States may not know much about online applications and they want to be a part of it.

What happens when you contact an aggregator? The aggregator for your particular state will provide more information on the registration process, in some cases, the aggregator would provide a link for registration.

Wow this is good

This is great development

A.boki always taking us backward. So simply because Danfulani doesn't know how to operate computer others must have to go through the "Aggregator"?

Let us have the sight to do the registration except "something" more is needed. I am beginning to suspect the process.

Aggregator for what again? hope dem no go collect money o.

Thank you for the info

This is highly commendable.

Shooyie:
This is highly commendable.

Commendable as how?
Something that is done online why do we need to go through aggregator again? I have been trying my state aggregator's number to no avail. Guess what? It's the same scenario in most states. They've succeeded in cornering this again. I just tire for Nigeria
