In Nigeria, the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) is the governmental
body responsible for registering business names, companies and
Incorporated Trustees. A public search form has been integrated into the
CAC Nigeria online portal, to enable anyone to search CAC records for
registered incorporated trustees, company or business names and those
undergoing business registration.
It is important to note that registering a company is not as difficult
as many will believe, if you understand the procedure and it's not
expensive except if you don’t know your way.
If you want to register your company or business name with CAC Nigeria,
you can also use the CAC public name search portal to check if your
proposed business name has been registered by someone else or not.
For job seekers who wish to verify the authenticity of a company, this
will be helpful. Though some genuine companies sometimes could project a
brand name different from the registered business name. However, this
tool will go a long way in guiding you.
How To Use CAC Public Name Search Form To Verify Registered Business Name
☛ Log on to http://publicsearch.cac.gov.ng
☛ Enter the company name you want to search in the search field
without “LTD or Limited” e.g Shelaf World of Technology
☛ Tick the "I'm not a robot" and solve the captcha if prompted
☛ Click "Search" and the search result will display the company
registration number, the company name, company address and date of
incorporation (registration), if the company is
registered.
☛ If no registered business name in CAC database contains your search
term, the form will return a blank result. It means the “company” is
not licensed to operate.
