Every Week Without a Certificate Is a Contract or Brief Going Somewhere Else
Right now, corporate clients and government agencies procuring PR and advertising services want a verified, registered vendor before signing a retainer. APCON requires a registered business or company name before it will process agency accreditation for placing media adverts. Politicians and campaign organizations hiring communications teams prefer registered businesses they can issue contracts to. Every month you delay registration is a month those contracts and briefs go to a competitor who’s already registered.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does CAC business name registration cost for a PR or advertising business in Akwa Ibom? ₦35,500 all-inclusive for a Business Name, ₦65,500 for a Limited Liability Company — CAC’s national pricing applies the same way whether you offer PR consulting, run an ad agency, or manage brand campaigns.
Can I register an advertising agency specifically? Yes — you’ll state your specific line of business, such as advertising agency services, during registration, and it will be reflected on your certificate and CAC’s public register.
Do I need APCON registration in addition to CAC registration? Yes, if you plan to place adverts across media as an agency. CAC registration establishes your legal business name, which APCON requires as a first step, but the agency accreditation itself is a separate process handled outside this service.
How long does registration take? Typically 5–7 working days when the application clears on the first submission.
What if my proposed business name isn’t available? You’ll submit a backup name — having two or three ready in advance avoids losing time to a second search.
Do I need an accredited agent to register? For a professional service and result, yes — using an accredited agent avoids the errors that commonly delay applications filed independently. We are a CAC-accredited agent, and we’ll handle your entire registration professionally, from name search through certificate delivery.
