Company Registration
ACL provides end-to-end company registration services in Nigeria, helping founders, foreign investors, and growing businesses register quickly, correctly, and in full compliance with applicable regulations. Whether you are setting up a start-up, expanding an existing enterprise, or formalising a family business, ACL supports you from planning to post-incorporation execution.
At the advisory stage, ACL helps clients select the most suitable business vehicle—such as a private company limited by shares, a company limited by guarantee for non-profits, or other permissible structures—based on ownership goals, liability concerns, tax implications, and investment plans. ACL also conducts name availability checks, advises on share capital structure and shareholder arrangements, and prepares the required statutory documentation.
For incorporation, ACL manages the full registration process with the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC), including preparation and filing of incorporation forms, drafting/reviewing of the memorandum and articles of association, appointment of directors and company secretary where applicable, and obtaining the Certificate of Incorporation and certified true copies of filed documents.
Beyond registration, ACL delivers essential post-incorporation support to make the company operational. This includes guidance on opening corporate bank accounts, obtaining Tax Identification Number (TIN) where required, setting up corporate governance documentation (such as registers, board resolutions, and compliance calendars), and advising on sector-specific licences and regulatory filings relevant to the client’s industry.
ACL’s company formation service is designed to reduce risk, prevent avoidable delays, and ensure clients meet compliance expectations from day one. With a practical, business-focused approach, ACL helps you establish a Nigerian company that is legally sound, investor-ready, and positioned for growth.
