CAC Announces Free registration For Businesses
The Corporate Affairs Commission has announced free business name registration for 3,500 small businesses across Nigeria, opening a rare window of relief for struggling entrepreneurs.
The move targets small operators who often find registration costs a barrier to formalising their ventures.
The initiative is aimed at helping informal businesses enter the legal space, gain recognition, and access wider opportunities.
By removing the cost of registration, the commission hopes more traders, artisans, and startups can operate officially and grow with confidence.
Officials say the programme is part of efforts to support small enterprises and strengthen the economy from the grassroots.
Registered businesses are expected to benefit from easier access to banking services, contracts, and government support schemes.
The exercise will run nationwide and is limited to a set number of beneficiaries, making it a highly sought-after opportunity.
Interested business owners are encouraged to act early as demand is expected to be high.
