Registration process with Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) in Nigeria depends on the type of business you want to register. The Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) through its online platform has now made incorporation of a company easier
Company registration cost in Nigeria depends on the type of company. For instance, the cost of registering a private company is different from that of a public company. Also, when shared capital is involved, the cost of registration varies with the worth of the share capital of the business.
. An individual can now register a company online with CAC, with little or no help from anyone, except for Section E in the Registration Form CAC 1.1, which requires the signature of a Legal Practitioner and attestation by a Notary Public or Commissioner for Oaths.
