I followed your guideline the incompetent CAC officials won't tell us but still got frustrated. I printed the receipts that was sent into my mail after filling the form on www.services.cac.gov.ng. Travelled to Abeokuta but was told at Skye Bank that there's nothing like Stamp duty fee. I then left for CAC office only to be told to download the registration form, attach a passport photograph to it then I should attach the receipts to it and upload it to www.new.cac.gov.ng. Why is the FG just using every known means to frustrate people? No appropriate guidelines to follow, no numbers to call, one agency with 2 websites. What a hot shithole country is this?
Please, how do i locate the abeokuta office of CAC?

@rose54321 I'm at the 10k payment point. Do I fill a deposit slip with company name or personal name.

Thank you in anticipation.

Why not click the link to pay online with Remitta from the CAC portal.

It's convenient and reliable

No. The teller evidence wasn't needed at CAC Abuja. You'll get a payment receipt from CAC once the payment is confirmed. That's what's requested for.

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.

@bold text, does payment online generate receipts? Cos after the N500 approval payment I didn't get a printable receipt.

Thanks for your reply. Just to humbly inform you that I didn't get a printable receipt after paying for approval online, is iit different the 10k payment?

The receipt is not from remita. Remita will not give a printable receipt, it just shows a payment confirmation page.
On the CAC portal, you should be able to download the "name approval" which shows the N500 paid.

In the same way when you pay the N10k with remita and it's confirmed, you'll be able to download "payment receipt" from CAC portal showing the N10k paid.

I submitted all my documents for name approval in march 15 and up till date no query no approval. All i see is 'pending approva'. Does it take so long? The agency promised 24hrs service!

That's weird, the Approval note should be a PDF file. Since you can't even open it. I would recommend you redownload it. It's possible the download wasn't complete or something. Kindly redownload from the CAC portal.
Did you do Name Availability Search for yours before you registered it? The link to do that on the site is dead ===> http://publicsearch/comsearch/test.php

I can't believe programmers are being paid heavily to manage national portal and they resort to populate the site with dead links that leads to no where... this country is so annoying

Try this site though, it seems to still work : http://new.cac.gov.ng/home/

>> Click Public Search to see if Name already exists
>> Online Registration to register it.
