Here’s The Simple Strategy You Can Apply Right-Away To Register Your Business In 24 Hours
NB: This plan is dependent on some elements of luck, especially getting your business name approval at your first attempt.
Pre-Registration
Generate two suitable names for your business and get them ready before you start the registration process.
To be surer on the availability of your proposed name, you can even conduct a public search on the CAC portal.
Public search is a new development in the CAC registration process and enables you to peep into the CAC database. There you see if the name you are planning to use or something similar already exists.
Public search is free and you do not need to have created an account with CAC to be able to do it.
Start of Registration/create an account (12:00 noon to 4:00 pm)
By 12:00 noon on a weekday, create an account with the CAC portal, confirm your email and go ahead and apply for Name search and reservation on the two names you have carefully chosen.
CAC will likely respond within 4 hours, because all name reservations made before 2:00 pm on weekdays will get a response within 4 hours.
Business Registration Proper (4:00 pm to 6:00 pm)
Check your email or dashboard by 4:00pm latest and you will receive an approval note containing your approval code.
Extract the approval code and complete online application form for registration CORRECTLY and make PAYMENT ONLINE, say by 4:30pm.
Print out the CAC form in from the portal IN COLORS, append your passport and sign in the appropriate places and append your signature.
Scan and Upload same on the CAC portal before 6:00pm (before the end of the day at worst), and wait for response.
Business Registration Complete (6:00pm to 12:00 noon the following day)
Barring any issues like queries or network problems, between 6:00pm to 12:00 noon the following day (which is the 24th hour), CAC would have evaluated and confirmed your business registered.
BUT IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO REGISTER YOUR BUSINESS NAME YOURSELF, I’LL STRONGLY SUGGEST THAT YOU FIND SOMEONE TO GUIDE OR SHOW YOU HOW TO DO IT.
You see, the social media channels of the CAC especially Twitter and Facebook is inundated with people pouring their frustrations, wailing and insulting the hell out of the CAC.
Why, because they had tried to register their business names on their own without properly learning all that it entails.
