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.

*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

Just visit Corporate Affairs Commission's website and sign up I. e ,you'll create an account with them and after you might have done that, then you proceed with Name reservation after the name has been approved then you'll do the registration... It shouldn't take more than seven working days for your certificate to be ready if the registration is properly done

OurworkComNg1:
hello sir, i dont understand the bolded part. is this a new rule to business name registration??

jefy:
i don't think so, at the base of the last page of your c.a.c form, there is a space for the signature for commissioner of oats. You have to approach the court to get this done. And at the high court in port harcourt, they registered #1,500 on it.had to pay into d high court's keystone bank account.. It ought to be lesser,at least
#500 . The stamp and signature from the court validates your claimed details since u are under oath.. I may be wrong. A legal practisioner should educate us on this.
