Frequently Asked Questions
How long does CAC registration take?
Standard CAC registration typically takes 5-10 business days once all documents are in order. We handle the entire process on your behalf.
What is the difference between a limited liability company and a business name?
A limited liability company (Ltd) is a separate legal entity that limits the personal liability of its shareholders. A business name is a simpler registration for sole traders and partnerships but does not create a separate legal entity.
Do I need a Nigerian director to register a company?
Yes, Nigerian law requires at least one Nigerian resident director for most company types. We can advise on the specific requirements for your situation.
