- Completion and submission of the CAC Business Name application

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 + TIN | Certificate + Status Report + Memart + TIN |
| Best for | Independent clinics and nursing homes starting out | Larger hospitals, or facilities with partners |
For most clinics and nursing homes in Imo State, a Business Name covers what’s needed to operate and register with the relevant health authorities under a properly registered name. Once you’re running a larger hospital, adding specialist departments, or bringing on investors, the Limited Liability Company structure tends to fit better — it separates your personal assets from the business. You can start with a Business Name and convert later.
Get These Ready First
You most likely already have these ready:
- Two proposed business names, ranked by preference
- A valid means of ID — National ID (NIN), international passport, or driver’s license
- A passport photograph
- Your business address in Imo State — indicating the LGA
- Phone number and email address
- Nature of business — described simply, e.g. “private hospital and clinic services,” “nursing and maternity home,” or “diagnostic laboratory services”
- If you choose Limited Liability Company instead: names, ID and details of directors and shareholders
Nothing here needs advance preparation. Send it across on WhatsApp whenever convenient, and we’ll match it to CAC’s requirements.
Six Simple Steps
- Check name availability on CAC’s public search portal — handled on our end.
- Reserve the name once availability is confirmed.
- Complete the application with your business, director and Imo State address details.
- Upload your ID and passport photograph — a phone photo is fine.
- Pay the ₦35,500 filing fee, a one-time payment covering everything.
- Receive your Certificate of Registration, TIN and Status Report, usually within 5–7 working days.
Two steps are yours — a message and a payment — the rest is ours to handle.
A State Insurance Agency That Registers Its Own Healthcare Providers
The Imo State Health Insurance Agency (IMSHIA) runs ImoCare, the state’s own health insurance scheme working toward universal health coverage for Imo residents. IMSHIA’s own service framework defines a “Health Care Provider” as any public or private health facility, hospital, maternity centre or community pharmacy registered by the Agency to deliver care to enrollees — meaning hospitals, clinics and nursing homes across the state have a real, active pathway to become approved providers under a state-run scheme, not just a theoretical one. For a hospital, clinic or nursing home business, that’s a concrete state health insurance system already enrolling providers and paying out for patient care.

Patient Care Is Your Focus — Let a Registered Name Back the Business
Running a hospital, clinic or nursing home means staying on top of licensing, staffing and standards of care that patients depend on. CAC registration is the comparatively simple part, and it’s worth getting settled early: it’s the document that underpins your Ministry of Health licensing application and any health insurance provider accreditation you pursue afterward.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does CAC registration cost for a hospital or clinic business in Imo State? ₦35,500 all-inclusive, the same across all 27 LGAs. A Limited Liability Company registration is also available for ₦65,500 all-inclusive.
What do I actually get for the ₦35,500? Your name search and reservation, the completed CAC filing, the government processing fee, your Certificate of Registration, a Tax Identification Number, and a CAC Status Report confirming you’re active on the public register.
Is a Business Name enough to run a clinic or nursing home? Yes — for most independent clinics and nursing homes, a Business Name establishes your legal business name and is the main registration you need to start, alongside your health facility licensing.
Should I register as a Business Name or a Limited Liability Company? A Business Name suits most independent clinics and nursing homes starting out. If you’re running a larger hospital or bringing on partners, the Limited Liability Company route is worth considering.
Do I still need Ministry of Health licensing after CAC registration? Yes — CAC registration is separate from State Ministry of Health facility licensing, which covers premises inspection and clinical standards.
Do my doctors and nurses need separate professional licensing? Yes — MDCN licensing for doctors and NMCN licensing for nurses are separate from CAC registration and apply to the practitioners themselves.
Can I register a hospital and a diagnostic lab under one business name? Yes — a single registration covers your business as a whole. You can describe your nature of business broadly enough to include several related services.
Will this certificate help me get IMSHIA provider accreditation? Your CAC certificate is typically one of the foundational documents health insurance schemes ask for when accrediting a facility as a provider.
Can I open a business bank account with the certificate? Yes — a CAC certificate is one of the main documents banks ask for when opening a business account, alongside your ID and other details.
Do you register businesses outside Owerri? Yes — we register hospital, clinic and nursing home businesses in all 27 Imo State LGAs, at the same price and turnaround time.
How long does registration take? Typically 5–7 working days, with nothing further required from you once you’ve sent your details.
What if my proposed business name isn’t available? Just send a backup name and we’ll check it right away. Having two or three ready in advance keeps things moving smoothly.
Do I need an accredited agent to register? It certainly makes things easier — we handle every detail so you don’t have to learn CAC’s process yourself. We’re a CAC-accredited agent, and we take care of your entire registration from name search through certificate delivery.
From that point forward, it’s on us — you’ll next hear from us with your certificate ready.
Ready when you are — it takes one message. Send your business name on WhatsApp → and we’ll take it from there.
