Nigeria Company
Registration & Corporate Compliance (CAC)

Overview

Setting up a business in a new market requires a secure, legally recognised foundation.

The Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) regulates the formation and management of all companies in Nigeria. For international businesses and UK investors, navigating CAC requirements correctly is the first and most critical step to securing your legal identity, opening corporate bank accounts, and protecting your capital.

We streamline this entire process, ensuring your entity is structured for long‑term growth and fully compliant with Nigerian corporate law.

1. Company Incorporation & Foreign Investment Setup

We handle the complete registration process, ensuring your corporate structure aligns with both Nigerian law and your international tax planning.

• Entity Selection Strategy: We advise on the best structure for your goals, whether it is a Private Limited Company (Ltd), Public Limited Company (PLC), Foreign Subsidiary, or Branch Office.

• Document Preparation & Verification: Drafting, vetting, and verifying your Memorandum and Articles of Association to prevent administrative rejections.

• Turnkey Setup: Handling the complete submission to obtain your Certificate of Incorporation and Tax Identification Number (TIN) smoothly.

2. Statutory Post‑Incorporation Compliance

Maintaining your legal standing is an ongoing requirement. We manage your local corporate obligations so you can focus on scaling your operations.

• Annual Returns Filing: Preparing and submitting mandatory CAC Annual Returns for active or dormant companies to avoid heavy penalties and status deactivation.

• Corporate Registry Updates: Seamlessly filing changes to company directors, share capital, shareholders, or registered office addresses.

• Statutory Records Management: Maintaining your official company books, registers, and compliance calendars.

3. Corporate Restructuring & Advisory

As your business expands or scales, we help adapt your corporate framework to support new investment and ownership changes.

• Share Transfers & Capital Reorganisation: Structuring equity changes, share transfers, and board changes for local and international investors.

• Company Modifications: Managing legal name changes and formal amendments to company business objectives.

• Mergers, Acquisitions & Dissolution: Guiding businesses through reorganisations, joint ventures, or voluntary strike‑offs.
