Business Name vs. Limited Liability Company Cost
| Business Name | Limited Liability Company | |
|---|---|---|
| All-inclusive cost | ₦35,500 | ₦65,500 |
| Personal liability protection | No | Yes |
| Documents received | Certificate + Status Report | Certificate + Status Report + Memart + TIN |
| Best for | Independent PR consultants, freelance marketers, and small agencies | Larger agencies, billboard/outdoor advertising firms, or businesses seeking corporate and government contracts |
Most independent PR consultants, freelance marketers, and small agencies just starting out find the Business Name option is more than enough to get properly registered without any extra complexity. Businesses planning to build a full agency team, run outdoor advertising campaigns at scale, or bid for corporate and government contracts often prefer the Limited Liability Company route for the added protection and structure.
A Good PR and Advertisement Business Deserves a Registered Name Behind It
You already know your work — the campaigns, the client relationships, the copy, the day-to-day running of pitches and deliverables. That’s the hard part, and you’ve handled it well. Making it official with CAC is the easy part, and it’s the kind of small, sensible step that experienced PR practitioners and advertisers take in their stride — not because they’re worried about losing out, but because it’s simply the right box to tick once a business is real. It gives you something to point to when a client, a brand, or a government office asks, “are you registered?” — and lets you answer with a quiet yes.
