DIFFERENT TASK YOU CAN DO ON CAC PUBLIC SEARCH PORTAL

Name Availability Search– The Corporate affairs commission empowers users to conduct search on the business names before submitting for purpose of registration, or change of name, this is necessary, because there could be a coincidence or similarity of name by two persons.

It is therefore advised that you conduct search to avoid submitting a name someone else had registered, this is necessary and mandatory before your company incorporation.

Cac Name Reservation- The consequence of not filing for name search is that the commission won’t allow you to start registration without getting a reservation of name code ,the availability of the name you are proposing for registration must be followed a mail from cac granting you a reservation code., This is mandatory before any registration. this process attracts a fee, and its conducted from cac pre-registration portal, and not your normal public search on carried out on www.search.cac.gov.ng

2. Name Reservation Duration-Upon submission of a business name for reservation, the result for the name search and reservation takes 2-3 days for the approval or denial of the name.
