Hum,nice post.....
It's proper to register ur biz name. It secures ur biz name,allows u obtain a tin number for corporate account opening and allows u bid for contracts.
NOTE: for biz name reg,u may not need d services of a lawyer. I officially reg my biz name with c.a.c dec 14th. Picked up d certificate last week wednesday. Did another name reservation via cac web portal yesterday sunday with my master card. Name approved today.. NOTE: Am doing biz name reg nw,d names will be upgraded to an LTD later on. Doing this now just to secure d name.
STEPS
*log into ur c.a.c portal. Google d c.a.c online portal for ease.
*register on d platform like u do on say Jumia et al to create an online acct
*do a free name search to see if ur biz name is taken.
*proceed to name reservation. Its #500 plus service charge on ur acct almost #500+
* within two working days,u shld receive an email 4rm c.a.c indicating whether ur name reservation was successful or not
*if approved,log into ur c.a.c acct on their portal and print out ur approval note and receipt of payment of ur reservation fee. A code will be generated 4 u,keep it safe to complete d process later on.
*with ur code above,register ur biz name. Complete d online form.
*make payment of #5k plus service charges.
*print out c.a.c for ,fill form along with ur passport. If u hv partners,they do same. Sign,input date.
*take form to d nearest high court etc locate commissioner of oats office and get them stamp and sign ur document.it's #1,500 in p.h
*take ur form and upload bk to c.a.c portal
*print out ur payment receipt for registration from ur online acct on c.a.c
* ur done
* wait a few days and check ur mail for c.a.c certificate collection mail. As soon as u get dis, run to d pick up center u filled during reg.
*when at d office, u will notice two heavy records note book at d reception. Just check d front cover for biz tye e.g Business Name B.N or LTD. Pick up d one dat concerns u e.g B.N .Check d date u registed to see if ur certificate is ready.. If ready,call their attension and pick it up,if not,jst go home and return on a later date.
NOTE:
Go along with ur online payment receipts. Name reservation & registration., ur i.d, email note,proficiancy certificate if applicable,ur c.a.c original form,d one u took to court.
That's all
