Business Name Registration

Register your business name with CAC and start trading the right way.

Service overview

Business name registration with the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) gives your enterprise a legal identity, lets you open a business bank account and shows customers and partners that you operate a registered business.

We check your preferred names, prepare and file the application and deliver your CAC documents when registration is complete.
