Why CAC Registration Alone Isn't Enough

We've worked with over 200 Nigerian businesses. Here's what we've learned:

❌ What happens when you just get the certificate:

• You miss annual returns deadlines (₦50,000+ penalties)
• You ignore PSC compliance (₦19.75M potential penalties)
• You mix business and personal money (tax chaos)
• You don't track compliance deadlines (FIRS surprises)
• You operate without proper contracts (client disputes)

✅ What happens when you build proper infrastructure:

• Compliance runs automatically in the background
• Your money is organized and trackable
• You understand your real margins
• You're protected from lawsuits
• Banks and investors take you seriously
• You actually sleep well at night

What Our Lagos Clients Say

"I registered my business name with another agent in 2022. By 2024, FIRS hit me with ₦12M in PSC penalties I didn't even know existed. Qrafteq sorted everything and now I have proper systems so this never happens again."

Chioma O. Fashion Business Owner, Lekki

"I thought I was saving money by just getting the CAC certificate. Then I tried to open a corporate bank account and realized I was missing half the documents. Qrafteq did everything properly from the start. Worth every kobo."

Tunde A. Tech Startup Founder, Yaba

"The START + BUILD package was the best business decision I made. Six months later, we're doing ₦8M monthly and everything runs smoothly because the foundation was solid."

Can I register my business from outside Lagos? +

Yes. We handle registrations for clients across Nigeria and even in the diaspora. Everything is done remotely via WhatsApp, email, and video calls. You don't need to be physically present in Lagos.

What's the difference between Business Name and Limited Company in Nigeria? +

Quick answer: Business Name = you and the business are the same (personal liability). Limited Company = business is separate legal entity (your personal assets are protected).

Business Name: Easier to set up, lower cost (₦35,000), but you're personally liable for all business debts and obligations.

Limited Company: More setup involved, higher cost (₦85,000 - for N1m share capital + company email setup), but your personal assets (house, car, savings) are protected from business liabilities. Better for raising investment and scaling.

Do you handle annual returns and compliance? +

Yes. All our START package clients get compliance calendar setup. We send reminders before every deadline (annual returns, PSC filing, tax deadlines). We also offer annual compliance packages for ongoing support to ensure you never miss a filing and incur penalties.

What if my proposed business name is not available? +

We do a thorough name search before filing with CAC. If your first choice is taken, we'll suggest alternatives immediately so there's no delay. We typically ask for 2-3 name options from you at the start to ensure we have backups ready.

Can you help with opening a business bank account? +

Yes. We provide guidance on which banks work best for your business type, require documents, and the application process. We prepare all the CAC documents banks require. While we can't open the account for you (banks require you personally for KYC), we make the process smooth and fast.

What happens after I register my business with CAC? +

You receive:

Your CAC certificate (digital and physical)
All registration documents (MEMAT for LLCs, share certificates, etc.)
TIN certificate
Compliance calendar with all important deadlines

Why Registration Timing Matters

Don't wait until you "make it big" to register properly

✅ Legal protection starts immediately - The day you register as a limited company, your personal assets are protected
✅ Tax benefits are retroactive - Operating informally costs you money you can't recover later
✅ Credibility opens doors - That first big client won't wait while you "sort out registration"
✅ Compliance penalties are real - Missing deadlines costs ₦50,000 - ₦19.75M in avoidable penalties
✅ Your competition is already registered - They're winning contracts you're not even considered for

The best time to register was when you started. The second best time is today.
