The Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) is a federal government agency charged with the duties of registering companies or business names in Nigeria. CAC rigorous registration process has been simplified with the introduction of the CAC registration portal.<\/b><\/p>\n
Prior to the recent changes to the company name registration process in Nigeria, the process could be compared to assigning an elderly woman the task of running 100 kilometers. This was because the registration process was left in the hands of some professional bodies that took a very long time to do the job.<\/p>\n
One of the positive outcomes of the COVID-19 epidemic is the acceleration of business registration online as well as electronically. Just about everything required by law to register your own business can\u00a0now be done from anywhere in the world, straight from the comfort of your own home or workplace.<\/p>\n
The Federal government, through the CAC, has made this feasible by developing a dedicated gateway on the CAC’s website to handle all of this. To register your own business online, all you need is a laptop or desktop computer with an internet connection, a scanner, and knowledge of any important information that the registration portal may demand of you.<\/p>\n
The process of registering your business is separated into three primary parts, each of which can be accomplished without the assistance of any\u00a0specialists such as Chartered Accountants, Company Secretaries, or Legal Practitioners.<\/p>\n
