Good Morning for someone like me that’s have already registered and I want to change my business name to something else pls where do I go or start from ?
If it's a store and you buy and sell, then you have to treat it like a regular business not a religious body. Choose any category as any other businesses or stores.
If it's not saving then make sure to confirm that you have filled all required fields. If it still doesn't save then it's probably your network or server issues. You can try again some other time.

You are welcome. You will have to create an account to register for someone else. The account has to be in that person's name. Only CAC accredited agents can create accounts for others.
Yes you can register a private liability company. You only need a lawyer when you want to do business with the registered name like when opening a corporate bank account or start your main business. This is just the registration stage and no lawyer is needed at this point
Good pm sir please I made payments for name reservation infact twice in a roll immediately but once I clicked on the I have made payments it will just hold it won't show anything at all but I will be sent mail to show I have paid for it but I can't go beyond that and when I go back to my dashboard it's still not showing that I have reserved any name . What can I do
You have to wait for the approval. You should get a mail after some days if the name reservation is successful and then you can begin the name registration process. If your application is disapproved, you will have to submit another two name options and pay another reservation fee.
Thanks for the clarification. I have been able to reserve my business name but i couldn't proceed to register the business name bcos it keep showing "404 error" after several attempts. What do you suggest that i do? Thanks.
@@abiodunenitan602 If it's 404 error then you are probably on a non existing page. Login again and go to the right page. If you keep getting errors, then you need to delete your system cache and try again. If it still persists then try some other time. They always have server issues.
Yes. That's one of the reasons of registering a business name. You need that to open a business account. Without the registration certificate, you can't.
I'm here again with another question. I got this from CAC but I do not understand what they meant. Can you please shed more light 👇 Section 574(1) CAMA makes it mandatory for every firm, individual or corporation required to be registered under Part B, to be registered within Twenty-Eight (28) days from the date of the commencement of the business for which registration is required.
Your listed commencement date should be within 28 days of the registered date.. So make sure you list your commencement date like 2 months away or so.. That way when it's approved, the registered date will be close to your own business commencement date.
Sir in my own case I was told my business commencement date has exceed 28days to make payment on JAN 4, that’s I’m to pay #150 per day for 28 days in line with section 815 of CAMA 2020. And provide a complete REGD address , sir pls how do I make payment ?
@@adelakunoyekola1919 It could be two weeks or two months from now. You have to consider the fact that many of their offices don't process registration in time and if you put a date that is more than 28 days from when it's finally approved. So treat it like, you are registering the business, but the business has not started yet. It''s going to start 2 weeks or two months from now. I am sure that is allowed..
They will. Sometimes it takes some days. You can send an email to CAC and in the email make sure to add your Remita payment information and they will reply. You can also click on the check status button in your CAC portal to see more.
They will send you an email for a confirmation code. You need to enter that on the space in your dashboard.. You can't continue without getting that code. Once you get it, click and enter it in the space and then continue from there.
Gud day, Under reserve, I stop at Nature of business under Objective… when I search through I can’t found my nature of business der , so I click on OTHERS, But Save an Continue was not showing anymore, after writing on additional remark.. so what can I do?

Thank you so much Sir for this info. Good evening Sir, i made payment for name reservation. Infact, i was debited twice and waiting for name approval but is showing 2 pending/queried on my dashboard. I am so confuse on what to do and is like a week now still showing the same status. Please what do you suggest i should do?
It takes about 2 to 3 days for them to approve or reject a reserved name. I think the strike is responsible for the delay. Just wait some more days. If it remains the same, you can also call the support number on their website or visit the nearest office.
@@NetplusTraining Hello Sir, once again I want to thank you for your advice. I've been approved ☺️! I got approved last week Tuesday, although I went to their office to lodge a complaint and everything is fine. Thank you 😊 I really appreciate 🙏
Open a new account for the person and register with his details. You have to be an accredited agent to register others in your account dashboard. If you want to be an accredited agent, go to the nearest CAC office and they will tell you how to go about it.
It's in the video you just watched. Go through the video again and when you get to the options to choose business name or company name, choose company name and follow the steps in the video. You get your certificate in your dashboard after you have finished your registration and it's approved. You can then download the certificate right there in your dashboard..
Great one... Very clear explanation thank you very much. And please can you do Video on how we can go about with limited registration. is it same money you pay while registering business name in limited?
No. It's the same steps but you have to choose company name option instead of business name. Then pay for name reservation which is almost the same N500 at the time I made the video. Then in second step, register the limited liability company name but price as at the time I made the video, it was N20K. Just fill necessary documents which is a little different including the CO2 and CO7 forms but the same steps.
@@IamBmj_ It's one of the forms you have to fill in the second step. One is for director details where you fill in the details of the directors of the company and the other is share allocation form where you fill in details of the shares of the directors etc. Just names, address and other information to be completed and submitted.
It's a pity I can't screenshot and send to you here. I reserved my business name yesterday around 7:15am and up till now it still hasn't shown approved or denied. I keep loading and loading the page but it only shows me that Its pending. Please should I still wait more or something is wrong?
It's take a day or two working days. Yesterday was Friday and they probably didn't get to it before they left the office. So you have to wait until Monday when they will be in the office to approve it.
You have to edit your profile information. Click on “Profile” at the top right corner of the page. Then select "Edit". Now you can edit all the fields. Then save and exit page. Go back to the dashboard and select "Delete" on the duplicated entry.
I have done all you asked I knew all dis before u explained or is it cause m using a smart phone and not my laptop cause I can't seem to be able to edit both do surname and the first name only the other name and a few more options
@@attunasoussunday7230 Is your business name approved and registered? If not you can't do that. To do that before approval, you will probably need to contact any CAC accredited agent around you. They can do that for you with an accredited account... That will probably require you to pay a token to do that.
Make sure the document is large enough and in maybe PDF and JPEG.. It's best you scan this at any business center at high resolution.. It will be accepted the first time once you do this .. If it's giving you that notifications,bits probably not accepted. You can always reupload later...
Good day my brother, thanks for all your effort. Please I opened an account with CAC in other to register a business name. Each time I want to login to the account to proceed, it keeps saying , the username is identical to other user name. Please what do I do?
Yes they do have that problem and I hope they fix that. If you successful registered a username with your email and you didn't get that warning when you are registering an account it means that username has not been picked. Do that and go ahead and login. If you get that warning after you have picked a username then you can click forgot password and see if you can change your password. If it doesn't work then you have to create another account and this time make sure the username is available. You can add some numbers to your username as this works best.
Good day my brother, I really enjoy your videos and learning greatly from them. I try guiding a friend to register an account in order to register her business name but at first after registering the acct to login it says the username is similar to other people own. To register another account, it keeps saying phone number has used. Main why we used a different phone number and email. I want to know can she register her business name using my account, though I am not an accredited agent of CAC?
Yes once you register a name with a phone number, you can't use it on another account. You have to register another account using another phone number. Yes she can use your account but the business name will be tied to your account and going forward, she has to do any edit using your account bad you will be registered as a business partner sort of.
You can't.. You have to apply for TIN after you get your CAC certificate. There is video I created that shows you how to get TIN online for free. There is a link in the description ...
Please sir I really ned your help ooo, I did pay for name reservation like 30mins ago, it's still not under reservation. When I then checked, it understood not submitted and I checked status, I was seeing something lie not approved. Inshort I'm confused
@@isimehugboh4633 If it's not approved, it means you chose a name that's almost similar to an existing name. If it's denied it means you have to reserve another name. Before you choose a name make sure you search the database first. That way your reservation won't be denied
@@NetplusTraining thanks so much for your help, I actually did another name and was accepted, but under pending. Please I would like to know how long does it take to be reserved before I can continue or can I continue registration even if under pending?
Thank you for this video. I have tried to register after all fields have been completed, but it is still asking for the "required field" I have called and emailed CAC no response. Do you have any suggestions?
Is it okay to choose other nature of business if mine isn't on the list? Again , does it mean other nature of business is what will appear on the certificate?
When you select other, you will be required to provide a skeletal description of the nature and sector of the company’s business. An outline of the proposed business of the company needs to be set out and that will enable CAC determine where to add the business. Sometimes a new category or subcategory is introduced if absent and sometimes you are placed in the right business category they deem fit.

@@ehigitorjaron8001 If it's a small business and you are the sole owner, you are ok with a business name. You can change later and register as a limited liability later if you have plans to make it bigger with partners and share holders. If you have re-served it a s business name, you can't change it. You have to register it as a company name by doing a other reservation as a company name.

Sometimes it takes time depending on the city agency handling your registration process.. Just wait a bit and you can also send them an email as a reminder.. You Can Get that on their website..
Late certification download is something they introduced last year I think and they did not specify that well.enough on their penalties page. Visit the penalties payment page of their payment processor Remita at login.remita.net/remita/onepage/CAC/biller.spa and see if there is that penalty option. If not, then head to their office in your city and they will tell you what to do.

Good pm sir please I made payments for name reservation infact twice in a roll immediately but once I clicked on the I have made payments it will just hold it won't show anything at all but I will be sent mail to show I have paid for it but I can't go beyond that and when I go back to my dashboard it's still not showing that I have reserved any name . What can I do
You have to wait for the approval. You should get a mail after some days if the name reservation is successful and then you can begin the name registration process. If your application is disapproved, you will have to submit another two name options and pay another reservation fee.
What are the price list for the category of the registration?
Check out the fees and rates on their website at www.cac.gov.ng/faq_category/list-of-fees/
Thanks for the clarification.
I have been able to reserve my business name but i couldn't proceed to register the business name bcos it keep showing "404 error" after several attempts. What do you suggest that i do?
Thanks.
@@abiodunenitan602 If it's 404 error then you are probably on a non existing page. Login again and go to the right page. If you keep getting errors, then you need to delete your system cache and try again. If it still persists then try some other time. They always have server issues.
@@NetplusTraining Thanks for the feedback. It's been the same results for days and I learnt that the registration will close by 7th of this month.
@@abiodunenitan602 Just keep trying. You can also change browser too.
if someone register a business name with CAC can the business name be use to open business account
Yes. That's one of the reasons of registering a business name. You need that to open a business account. Without the registration certificate, you can't.
I'm here again with another question. I got this from CAC but I do not understand what they meant. Can you please shed more light 👇
Section 574(1) CAMA makes it mandatory for every firm, individual or corporation required to be registered under Part B, to be registered within Twenty-Eight (28) days from the date of the commencement of the business for which registration is required.
Your listed commencement date should be within 28 days of the registered date.. So make sure you list your commencement date like 2 months away or so.. That way when it's approved, the registered date will be close to your own business commencement date.
Sir in my own case I was told my business commencement date has exceed 28days to make payment on JAN 4, that’s I’m to pay #150 per day for 28 days in line with section 815 of CAMA 2020. And provide a complete REGD address , sir pls how do I make payment ?
@@NetplusTraining two months ?? you meant to say 2 weeks away...
@@adelakunoyekola1919 It could be two weeks or two months from now. You have to consider the fact that many of their offices don't process registration in time and if you put a date that is more than 28 days from when it's finally approved. So treat it like, you are registering the business, but the business has not started yet. It''s going to start 2 weeks or two months from now. I am sure that is allowed..
I've done it buh is saying pending reservation
What does it mean
It means you have to wait for approval.
Hi, I tried registering. I paid 10k for the buisness them but Cac did not confirm my payment whereas Remita did. What do I do?
They will. Sometimes it takes some days. You can send an email to CAC and in the email make sure to add your Remita payment information and they will reply. You can also click on the check status button in your CAC portal to see more.
Good day bro, can I use my own account to register business for someone or i must create another account for the person
You have to create another account.. Only CAC accredited agents can register for others.
Thanks so much. I'm good to go
You are welcome
Thanks for the video, please i can't see reservation on my dashboard after the name have been approved
They will send you an email for a confirmation code. You need to enter that on the space in your dashboard.. You can't continue without getting that code. Once you get it, click and enter it in the space and then continue from there.

I am so confuse on what to do and is like a week now still showing the same status. Please what do you suggest i should do?
It takes about 2 to 3 days for them to approve or reject a reserved name. I think the strike is responsible for the delay. Just wait some more days. If it remains the same, you can also call the support number on their website or visit the nearest office.

Pls what about registering for some one else Business name that's not your?
Open a new account for the person and register with his details. You have to be an accredited agent to register others in your account dashboard. If you want to be an accredited agent, go to the nearest CAC office and they will tell you how to go about it.

If you are a small business and you are the sole proprietor with no directors or shareholders, then it's best to register a business name.

There are two options. You have to choose the agent option or the other option when you are creating an account. Don't choose agent option.

It's in the video you just watched. Go through the video again and when you get to the options to choose business name or company name, choose company name and follow the steps in the video. You get your certificate in your dashboard after you have finished your registration and it's approved. You can then download the certificate right there in your dashboard..
Great one... Very clear explanation thank you very much.
And please can you do Video on how we can go about with limited registration. is it same money you pay while registering business name in limited?
No. It's the same steps but you have to choose company name option instead of business name. Then pay for name reservation which is almost the same N500 at the time I made the video. Then in second step, register the limited liability company name but price as at the time I made the video, it was N20K. Just fill necessary documents which is a little different including the CO2 and CO7 forms but the same steps.
@@NetplusTraining you're such a wonderful teacher.... But if may ask for proper understanding what's c02 and c07 form?
@@IamBmj_ It's one of the forms you have to fill in the second step. One is for director details where you fill in the details of the directors of the company and the other is share allocation form where you fill in details of the shares of the directors etc. Just names, address and other information to be completed and submitted.

It's take a day or two working days. Yesterday was Friday and they probably didn't get to it before they left the office. So you have to wait until Monday when they will be in the office to approve it.

@@attunasoussunday7230 Is your business name approved and registered? If not you can't do that. To do that before approval, you will probably need to contact any CAC accredited agent around you. They can do that for you with an accredited account... That will probably require you to pay a token to do that.
Is it possible to change a business name to another business name? What are the procedures???
No it's not. You have to reserve another name and register that name.
Why am I getting "Not uploaded" status when I attempt to upload document?
Make sure the document is large enough and in maybe PDF and JPEG.. It's best you scan this at any business center at high resolution.. It will be accepted the first time once you do this .. If it's giving you that notifications,bits probably not accepted. You can always reupload later...
like how many days will it take for me to get my e-certificate after detailed registration?
It takes a week or two depending on how many they have in queue and the state agency handling your approval...
Good day my brother, thanks for all your effort. Please I opened an account with CAC in other to register a business name. Each time I want to login to the account to proceed, it keeps saying , the username is identical to other user name. Please what do I do?
Yes they do have that problem and I hope they fix that. If you successful registered a username with your email and you didn't get that warning when you are registering an account it means that username has not been picked. Do that and go ahead and login. If you get that warning after you have picked a username then you can click forgot password and see if you can change your password. If it doesn't work then you have to create another account and this time make sure the username is available. You can add some numbers to your username as this works best.

To register another account, it keeps saying phone number has used. Main why we used a different phone number and email. I want to know can she register her business name using my account, though I am not an accredited agent of CAC?
Yes once you register a name with a phone number, you can't use it on another account. You have to register another account using another phone number. Yes she can use your account but the business name will be tied to your account and going forward, she has to do any edit using your account bad you will be registered as a business partner sort of.

They do not respond to things. Check any missing field that is mark *. It's a required field. You probably missed it.
How much is the current registeration fee for limited liability company
The lists of fees can be found on the CAC website.. Check more at www.cac.gov.ng/faq_category/list-of-fees/
Is it okay to choose other nature of business if mine isn't on the list? Again , does it mean other nature of business is what will appear on the certificate?
When you select other, you will be required to provide a skeletal description of the nature and sector of the company’s business. An outline of the proposed business of the company needs to be set out and that will enable CAC determine where to add the business. Sometimes a new category or subcategory is introduced if absent and sometimes you are placed in the right business category they deem fit.
