Corporate Affairs Commission Abuja

The Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) Abuja is the headquarters of Nigeria’s primary regulatory body responsible for the formation, incorporation, regulation, and winding up of companies, business names, and incorporated trustees (e.g., NGOs, religious bodies) in Nigeria.

Established by the Companies and Allied Matters Act (CAMA), the CAC plays a crucial role in fostering a transparent and accountable business environment in the country. They oversee compliance with Nigerian business laws and ensure that corporate entities operate within established legal frameworks.

Key functions and services offered by CAC Abuja include:

• Business Name Registration: Providing unique legal identities for businesses.
• Incorporated Trustees Registration: For not-for-profit organizations.

• Company Searches: Providing public access to business information for due diligence.
• Issuance of Certified True Copies (CTCs): Providing authenticated copies of filed documents and certificates.
• Regulation and Enforcement: Monitoring compliance with CAMA and sanctioning non-compliant entities.

The CAC has embraced digitization, with much of its registration and post-incorporation processes now accessible through its online portal, aiming to improve the ease of doing business in Nigeria.
