Overview
What is CAC Company Registration (LTD)?
A private limited company (LTD) registered with the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) is a legal person in its own right. It gets an RC number, can open a corporate bank account and sign contracts in its own name, and its shareholders’ liability is limited.
On Docufy you enter two proposed names, what the company will do, its share capital, directors and shareholders, and upload their IDs, photos and proof of address. We prepare the registration forms and, if you don’t have your own, the memorandum and articles of association. A vetted partner firm files the registration, and your certificate of incorporation lands in your vault as a PDF with a verify link.
Who needs this
Founders ready to run their business as a private limited company, to open a corporate bank account, bring in investors or bid for contracts. Registering a business name is a different, simpler filing: see business name registration.

Questions
Things people ask about cac company registration (ltd).
How much does CAC company registration cost in 2026?
The price on this page covers the CAC fee, our service fee and VAT on our fee. You see it before you pay, and we add no markup to the CAC fee.
Can one person register a company?
Usually, yes. The form needs at least one director and one shareholder, and the same person can be both. Under the Companies and Allied Matters Act 2020 (CAMA 2020), a small private company can have a single director.
Why do I need two proposed names?
Your first choice may not be available, for example if it is too close to an existing name. A second choice means your application can still go ahead.
Do I need to visit a CAC office?
No. There is no office visit. You fill the form, upload your papers and pay on your phone, and a vetted partner firm files the registration.
How long does it take?
Usually three to four weeks, depending on your business and on CAC approval. The CAC sets the final pace, and you can follow every step on your phone.
What happens after registration?
Your company files an annual return with the CAC every year. If it charges VAT, it also files a monthly VAT return with the Nigeria Revenue Service (NRS), formerly FIRS. You can start both on Docufy.
