CAC Says You Can Now Register Your Business Within 48 hours | TheCable

Mahmud Bello, registrar-general, Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC), says business owners in Nigeria can conveniently register their businesses online within 48 hours.

Bello said the commission had started operating 24 hours company registration process to make startup of business easier in Nigeria.

He said the aim of operating the new system was to encourage business owners in Nigeria.

According to him, series of reforms has been implemented by the commission to make it quicker, cheaper and more convenient for Nigerians to start businesses.

Bello was speaking at a CAC customers’ forum in Kano, organised in collaboration with the Presidential Enabling Business Environment Council (PEBEC).

“CAC, as an agency of government involved in the startup of business, has keyed into the federal government’s vision to make Nigeria an easier place for businesses to start and thrive,” he said.

“Our reforms are designed with the MSMEs in mind. For us, a customer is a king and must be treated with royalty.”

Bello said manual application and registration processes would be gradually phased out in the course of the year.

According to him, the manual registration phase out will start with Lagos and Kano as from April 30, where all submissions should be done online.

Also, Jumoke Oduwole, secretary of PEBEC, said the council was committed to providing complete support to CAC and all other MDAs to implement the reforms.

According to Oduwole, the reform is to actualise the federal government’s mandate of making businesses work in Nigeria.

The high point of the event was a demonstration session by the commission on its latest reforms such as document upload Interface which enabled e-submission of registration documents in CAC registration Portal.

The demonstration also involved the integration of the FIRS e-payment solution into the portal to enable e-stamping.

Accordingly, the participants were given a walk-through of the public search window and the single incorporation form.
