Why Prices Vary Between Providers
CAC’s own government fee is fixed, but the service fee on top of it varies by provider — that’s why quotes differ. A price significantly below ₦35,500 is a red flag: it usually means an unaccredited agent, which risks a rejected filing or an outright scam. Confirm your provider is CAC-accredited before paying.
What You Need Before You Pay
The information required includes the proprietor’s personal details, a valid means of ID, contact details, your business address, and a description of the proposed business. Have this ready before starting — incorrect information at this stage is the most common cause of delays or post-registration corrections.
