Get your business registered with CAC

You will need:

1. A valid means of identification e.g NIN, Voters card, Drivers licence. 
2. A passport photogragh
3. Your signature (sign on a paper and snap it)

This differs for business name registration and company registration. Please send us a message for a comprehensive list as it applies to you

A business name is usually registered by small businesses just starting out while a company is for bigger businesses. Here are some key differences:

1. A company can own and sell shares to raise funds, a business name can't.
2. A company has directors and shareholders. The person with the highest amount of shares owns the company while for a business name, the person in who's name the business was registered is the legal owner of the business.
3. A company can sue and be sued in its name, while a business name can only sue or be sued in the name of the person the business name was registered.

This depends on where you are currently as a business. If you are just starting out as a small business owner then you can go for a business name.

But if you can, we would strongly advice you register your business as a company, this will open up more opportunities to you. 

You will be able to easily  attract investors and sell company shares if your business shows good promise.

You can also bid for big projects and contracts that pays in millions.
