Babatiise:
Pls house, I have been trying to register after approval of name but the start registration button has failed to work. Is this a general issue. Thank you

It should not give you any issue. Login your account and when you are in your dashboard, you will see name registration and company registration. Click on the company registration and start.

Mintayo:
I dont know where to even start. I am angry. I need help.
I did my business name registration myself since december 2017, and i have not gotten the certificate.

When i did not get any message about the availability of my business name certificate, I went to CAC office in Lagos, Alausa, they told me
that my collection venue is Abuja, that i made the mistake when i was filling the form, which i believe its not true.
Upon enquiry, I was told to hold on for them to contact the person who register my business name in Abuja, that they will send me a message,
since then I have not heard from them. I have been to Alausa almost every week, but it's always the same story - that I should come back,
the person in charge of my certificate in Abuja has not been responding or he is on leave. I have sent mail to their email address, they only acknowledged the mail, no response until three days ago where the handler told me to send my AVAILABILITY CODE AND APPROVED BUSINESS NAME, I did that , yet they are still replying me with the same thing- that i should send the code and other information.
I have also called the contact numbers - those ones were never reachable until yesterday, one Stella picked and told me to send a mail.
All they had to do is to just send my certificate from Abuja to Lagos, i don't know why that seems so difficult.

It's been five months now, and seriously, i have missed two opportunities just because i do not posses the certificate, it's been so frustrating.
I need help on any other things to do.

Can someone help with this?

UnyimeA:


please was it manual or online registration that you did?

thanks

Online, I believe manual is phased out in Abuja

Theloveth:

Please where did you get this from? They still insisted that I upload ict certificate and I have uploaded my ND certificate (Computer Science) for them. They should give me a break. Maybe I need to send them this link, their wahala is too much.

Same issue I had oh... Even after proficiency cert has been scrapped days before (saw the news on their website) they still said I should upload it or remove it from my nature of biz.. I had to remove it.

Nawa o. What did you remove? Seems I have to remove mine too. Although the whole business thing is based on software engineering and web development.

I removed the computer training. It was the one that was requiring certification

So you want to open a business and you know nothing of how to get started, well NO WORRIES.
You do not need to find a lawyer, a chartered Accountant or an agent. All you need is an ATM Master Card and an internet connection. The Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) now has an on line portal that makes life easy for all potential entrepreneurs and Businessmen in Nigeria.

To register A company the first step is to

STEP 1: Search for availability of Name - Visit http://services.cac.gov.ng/ sign up as a new customer and provide all necessary details accurately. Once you are properly signed in click on 'Name availability Search' type in two names that are creative and uncommon as your proposed business name and try to avoid cliché names. Fill the form with your best Email address and Phone number and submit the form when done. The submission of the form would costs N500 and can be paid using you master card, visa card, verve card, on line banking etc.
The name search would take one to two working days to be approved or disapproved. If disapproved try again With a different and more unique name.

STEP 2: Register the Business name - Once your name has been approved the next step is to register the business name. Log in to your account with CAC and once logged in click on 'action' and download the the letter of approval from the CAC portal, open it and take note of the approval number.
Go back to the website, Click on 'Registration' on the top left of the webpage select business name and paste the number from the approval document on the space provided click on enter. Ensure you know the nature of the business, proprietors of the business and all other relevant information accurately. NOTE: You can 'save and exit' the form at any point where you have difficulties.

* When it comes to nature of the business ensure that you type in three (3) nature of business and it is always a good idea to add General contracts so you do not need to get another business name in the future as, General contracts encompasses everything. (I made the mistake of not adding General contracts and I had to apply with an additional cost of N6000 to get it changed and it was a stressful process)

Fill the form Accurately avoid Mistakes as a Correction would cost you more money and waste your Time.
Now one important thing is[i] When asked if you need additional copies of Certified true copy and documents, select Zero as this is applicable to only those who are registering a limited liability company.[/i]

Submit the form and Pay N10,000 for the business name using you ATM card. You would be given a form to submit to the CAC office in your selection.

STEP 3: Physical Submission - Download and print and make two photocopies of
- All receipt of payment from Remitta and CAC,
- The approval of business name document
- The form you received upon payment for business name
Take these documents with two passport Photographs, N250 stamp duty fee - to be paid into CAC Skye Bank Account (you can do this before going to the office the bank has the account number) and submit for filing with the corporate Affairs commission.


I hope this information was helpful to you. Leave a comment and tell me how it goes for you.

Pls I need help, my business name has been approved and I have also paid the 10000 since February. I have been trying to upload the BN document since March but the submit button keeps rolling whenever I try to upload the document. I came across this post and I went to CAC office in osogbo with all the documents, I was asked for registration number sent to me. I searched everywhere on the portal, I did not see anything related to that. I had to leave their office. Is there anything called registration number for business name registration and how can I get it. I have tried there contact email, na only acknowledgment mail I get.

which website were you using to upload the documents?

J0nyb0y:


Congrats Bro, how long did you wait from day of submission to day of approval please... I've been waiting for 2weeks plus now

About one and half months but i guess it took that long because there was a query

Theloveth:

Congrats. So it was like a month and two weeks before you got approved?

Yes. Perhaps due to the query

AmericanSonns:

Yes you really do not need to go to their office. Firstly, you will have to download the form from your portal, then you will attach your passport picture, sign & date the section where your the proprietor details are contain and sign the second page (the attestation section).

Then scan the hard copies to pdf soft copies and upload it on the upload interface of the CAC portal.

As at May 2018, the CAC document upload portal has not been functional for weeks and after reporting the issue it’s still not resolved and I was told I can not submit a hard copy. Any ideas?
