A registered business name lets you trade legally under a name other than your own, open a business bank account and present yourself properly to customers. We handle the full registration with the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC), and the CAC filing fee is already included in the price.

Who it's for

  • Sole traders, freelancers and small business owners operating in Nigeria
  • Partnerships that want to trade under a shared name
  • Side businesses ready to become official

A business name is the simplest CAC registration. If you plan to take on investors or want a separate legal entity, consider Limited Company Registration instead.

What you get

  • A name availability search on the CAC register
  • Preparation of your registration forms
  • Filing with the CAC
  • Delivery of your certificate of registration once issued
  • CAC statutory filing fees included, with nothing billed on top

What we need from you

  • A valid means of identification for each proprietor or partner
  • Two or more proposed business names, in order of preference
  • Business and residential addresses
  • Proprietor or partner details, including contact information

How it works

  1. Send us your proposed names and details through a quote request or the contact form.
  2. You pay up front and we confirm everything within a working day.
  3. We run the name search and prepare your forms.
  4. We file with the CAC and follow up on your application.
  5. We deliver your certificate once it is issued.

Why LaunchPad

  • One price covering our work and the CAC filing fee.
  • We check names before filing to reduce the chance of rejection.
  • We can follow on with your TIN, bank account documentation or branding when you are ready.

Frequently asked questions

How long does registration take?

Typically a few working days once your documents are complete, though timelines depend on the CAC. We confirm a timeline once we have your documents.

What if my preferred name is not available?

That is why we ask for more than one option. If none are available, we will suggest alternatives before filing.

Can I upgrade to a limited company later?

Yes. Our Business Upgrade service takes a business name through incorporation as a limited company.
