BREAKING: How To Upgrade From BUSINESS NAME To COMPANY Incorporation

Before now, the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) did not upgrade Business Name to Company.

You need to attach to the letter, a copy of your application for registration of Business Name and Certificate of registration of Business Name.

  1. This information is still scarce outside. Well done Ify. Great update. A little advice: Try harder to make your site visible.

    After getting the consent, am I going to do a fresh search for the name or how would the name be available for me to start the normal process of registration
