For Nigerians abroad and international founders

Register and run your Nigerian company from abroad.

We register your company with the Corporate Affairs Commission, prepare the documents your bank and tax setup need, then help you build the brand, website and compliance routine around it. The company is in your name and the documents come to you.

First, the right route

Where you live matters less than who owns the company.

A company with even one foreign shareholder follows a different route from a wholly Nigerian-owned company. Find yours before you compare packages. Not sure which applies? Find your route in one minute.

Discuss Oversight

Foreign passport or foreign company?

The foreign participation route adds NIPC registration, a Business Permit and a higher share capital requirement. We review your shareholders and business activity, then quote the full route.

Bank accountsWe prepare the documents banks ask for. The bank makes the decision and may run its own identity checks.

Separate chargesThe non-resident BVN platform charges its own enrolment fee, paid directly by you. Any sector licence is scoped separately.

Confirmed in writingYour agreed scope lists exactly what is included before you pay.

How it works from abroad

Four steps. Clear responsibilities.

We coordinate the work; you approve the details. CAC, banks and other authorities control their own decisions and processing times.

  1. Review your plan

    Share your business activity, ownership and country of residence. We recommend the appropriate route.

  2. Agree the scope

    Confirm deliverables, fees and responsibilities in writing before work begins.

  3. Prepare, file and receive updates

    You approve the details and supply required documents. We prepare the filing, manage queries and keep you informed.

  4. Receive your documents. Take the next step.

    Receive your company documents and agreed guidance. Add brand, website or ongoing oversight when needed.

Ownership, documents and communication

Distance is the risk. The service is designed around it.

The company, its documents and its money stay with you.

Everything is in your name
You are the shareholder of record. Directors are the people you choose, and you approve every detail before filing.
Documents come to you
The certificate, company documents and every filing are delivered to you digitally. You keep them.
We do not hold your business capital
Your capital goes into your own company account, not through Qrafteq or a relative.
You hear from us at every stage
Updates on WhatsApp through each filing, so you always know what is done and what comes next.

Who handles your file

Two people you can name.

When you message us, you deal with the people doing the work, not an anonymous agent.

Questions

Straight answers.

Something not covered? Ask us directly.

Do I need to travel to Nigeria?

Not for the registration. CAC filing is online and we handle it for you. A bank may still ask for identity checks, and some sector licences require an on-site inspection. We tell you early if your plan needs either.

Business name or limited company?

A business name costs less, but you and the business are the same legal person. A limited company is a separate legal entity, which suits hiring, contracts and investment. Our diaspora packages register a private limited company. Foreign participation also requires a company.

Will you open my business bank account?

The bank decides on the account, so we cannot promise it. We prepare the CAC documents and the resolution and references banks usually ask for. If you are Nigerian, we also walk you through the non-resident BVN enrolment.

I have a foreign passport and a Nigerian parent. Which route is mine?

Tell us when we first speak. How your shareholding is treated decides whether the foreign participation rules apply, and we confirm that with you before anything is filed.

Can I register now and add a brand or website later?

Yes. Start with Diaspora Start and add brand identity, a website or Oversight when you are ready.

Discuss your business plan

Tell us what you are building. We will suggest the right route.

Five short questions. Your answers open WhatsApp with a message ready to send, so we can reply with something useful straight away.

  • 01We read your plan and confirm the ownership route.
  • 02We recommend a package, or a quote for foreign participation.
  • 03You decide whether to go ahead. There is no obligation.
