What is Company Registration in Nigeria?

Company registration in Nigeria is the process of formally incorporating a business as a private limited company (Ltd) with the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC), resulting in a Certificate of Incorporation. A registered company is a separate legal entity from its owners, meaning it can own assets, enter contracts, and limit the personal liability of its directors and shareholders. Every company operating in Nigeria is required by law to be registered with the CAC under the Companies and Allied Matters Act (CAMA) 2020.
