BusinessRe: How Much Does It Cost To Register A Company With CAC? by alive2day: 5:25pm On Aug 02, 2014
It is so so disappointing that one can't seek for information in this forum any longer and get one without someone trying to hack in to it to make some cheap money. I remember those school days when I was trying to packege my visa application to UK for studies. I was able to do it on my own due to, largely, information from this noble forum, and they were all free. If you are into full time IT, like myself, you will discover that there are lots of powerful and robust applications that are released under 'GPL- GNU'. they are free. They are built by people from across the globe, but off-course not from my dear country Nigeria else they would have cost life. We really need to change.

Having said that;

This is information about CAC fees;
