What our users say
Real experiences from founders and teams using Go Legal.
Business name and TIN done in days. Opened a corporate account the same week. No hidden fees, just clean execution.
SCUML arrived earlier than planned. Clear checklist, zero chasing. Exactly the predictability we needed for a client audit.
NGO registration was straightforward. They caught a tiny affidavit error before filing. Donors took us seriously once documents landed.
Company incorporation and TIN were correct on first try. We used the docs immediately for a vendor onboarding.
Annual returns filed on time. A small penalty was sorted early. Receipts and reports were tidy in the portal.
Status report and certified copies delivered in 48 hours. The director address restriction also protected our privacy.
Upgraded to a limited company and got TIN right after. Supplier accounts opened smoothly. Confidence bumped up.
Express processing matched our launch date. Fees were transparent, and the portal kept everything organized.
Due diligence flagged a filing gap. We fixed it before lender review and avoided delays. Practical, not noisy.
Needed business name and TIN for a supplier. Uploaded ID, got both fast. Lower POS fees now that I am corporate.
Frequently Asked Questions
General Business Registration
What is CAC and why should I register my business?
The Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) is Nigeria’s corporate registry. Registration gives legal recognition, credibility, access to bank accounts and contracts, and reduces risk. Go Legal handles the entire process correctly and stress‑free.
How much does it cost to register a business in Nigeria?
Costs vary by Business Name, Limited Company, or NGO. We bundle CAC statutory fees with professional handling so there are no hidden surprises, from name reservation to final approval.
How long does business registration take?
When done properly, most registrations complete within a few working days. Delays happen due to rejected names or incorrect submissions. We file accurately the first time.
Can I register my business online myself?
Yes, but many self‑submissions get delayed by small errors. We simplify the process and ensure compliance so you don’t waste time fixing avoidable mistakes.
What’s the difference between a Business Name and a Limited Company?
A Business Name is simpler and suits small businesses; a Limited Company adds liability protection and is better for scaling, contracts, and investors. We’ll guide you to the best fit.
Do I need a lawyer to register my business?
No. You need a partner who understands the process. Go Legal acts as your trusted registration partner from start to finish.
What documents do I need?
Valid ID, passport photo, business address; for companies, director/shareholder details. We provide a clear checklist so you don’t miss anything.
How do I check if my business name is available?
You must conduct a name search before registration. We screen names strategically to reduce rejection risk.
What is the first step to register a business?
Name reservation. We handle search, reservation, and submission professionally.
Cost & Pricing
Are there official government fees?
Yes. CAC has official charges. We cover both statutory fees and end‑to‑end guidance to ensure accurate, compliant filings.
Is there a yearly renewal?
Registration doesn’t expire, but annual returns are required to remain active. We offer compliance support to keep you safe.
Why is company registration more structured than business name registration?
Companies require share structure, director details, and compliance setup. We ensure your company is structured correctly from day one.
Process & Requirements
Why do applications get rejected?
Incorrect details, poor name selection, wrong share allocation, incomplete uploads. We prevent these errors before submission.
Can I use my home address?
Yes, if valid and verifiable. We confirm compliance before submission.
What if my name gets rejected?
You’ll submit another name and pay again. We reduce rejection risk by screening first.
After Registration
Do I need a TIN after registration?
Yes. A Tax Identification Number is needed for tax compliance and banking. We can handle your tax setup seamlessly.
What is SCUML and do I need it?
Certain businesses (DNFBPs) require SCUML certification. We check eligibility and process it if needed.
What happens if I don’t file annual returns?
Penalties may apply and your business can be made inactive. We keep you compliant to avoid fines.
Can Go Legal help with corrections or relisting?
Yes, amendments, relisting, and compliance filings are handled professionally.
