CAC Registration & Business Services

CAC REGISTRATION & BUSINESS SERVICES

Register Your Business with Confidence—Without the CAC Process Headache

Digi Support helps entrepreneurs and organizations prepare, submit and manage CAC-related registration and business-documentation tasks, with clear guidance on information, documents, official fees and next steps.

Digi Support provides professional registration support; CAC remains the statutory authority responsible for approval, registration and official records.

WHY CAC REGISTRATION MATTERS

Give Your Business a Formal Identity

CAC registration creates an official record for the relevant registered entity and can help a business or organization establish a verifiable formal identity. The exact legal, banking, tax, licensing and contractual implications depend on the entity type and the client’s circumstances.

Create a formal business or organizational record.
Support business verification by clients, partners and other stakeholders.
Provide registration documentation for relevant commercial or administrative purposes.
Help establish a clearer foundation for future business growth and compliance.

Create a basis for relevant post-registration filings and updates.

WHICH REGISTRATION MAY FIT?

Not Every Business Needs the Same Registration Route

Business Name — commonly used by individual proprietors and other eligible business-name registrations.
Company — appropriate for clients who need a corporate structure and whose circumstances fit company registration.
Incorporated Trustee — for eligible organizations pursuing that registration route.
Other entity structures — CAC also provides other registration categories; where the client’s situation is specialized, refer the matter for appropriate professional advice rather than guessing.

CAC’s official service pages currently identify Business Names, Companies and Incorporated Trustees among its registration services.

Important: Digi Support should help explain the administrative process but should not present itself as giving legal advice on the most appropriate entity structure unless the service is actually delivered by a suitably qualified professional.

BUSINESS NAME REGISTRATION

Business Name Registration Support

For an eligible business-name application, Digi Support can help organize the proposed name, business activity information, proprietor details and other required information before supporting the online application.

CAC’s official process currently includes name availability, completion of the relevant pre-registration form, upload of required documents and payment through the Company Registration Portal.

- Nature of business
- Principal business address
- Proprietor information
- Other information requested by the CAC workflow

CAC FEES VS DIGI SUPPORT FEES

Clear Pricing. No Hidden Mixing of Fees.

CAC statutory filing fees and Digi Support professional service fees are separate. The exact official amount depends on the service, entity type and current CAC fee schedule. CAC’s published fee schedule has changed over time, so the website should link users to the current official schedule or quote statutory charges based on a current verified source rather than relying on an outdated fixed figure.

CAC statutory/official fees — payable according to the applicable current CAC schedule.
Digi Support professional fee — payment for preparation, support, submission and/or coordination according to the agreed scope.
Third-party costs — only where applicable and disclosed.
Specialist professional fees — separate where a lawyer, accountant, company secretary or other specialist is required.

TIMELINES & APPROVAL EXPECTATIONS

We Help Move the Process Forward—CAC Makes the Official Decision

Digi Support can help prepare and manage an application, but approval is controlled by CAC. Processing time depends on the application type, document completeness, payment and whether CAC raises a query or requires additional information.

CAC’s current published timelines are conditional and vary by service. Its service-timelines page lists, for example, different timelines for companies, business names, incorporated trustees and post-registration applications.

Never promise guaranteed CAC approval.

Never promise an unconditional same-day certificate.
Explain that queries or incomplete information can affect processing.
Use the current CAC timeline page when giving time-sensitive estimates.
If a deadline is critical, advise the client to allow contingency time.

ELECTRONIC CERTIFICATES & DOCUMENT DELIVERY

CAC’s iCRP explains that approved registration certificates are generated electronically and can be downloaded from the client’s dashboard.

This is why we avoid promising a physical certificate unless the specific service/process requires one.

Receive/download approved electronic documents where available.
Check the document details against the submitted information.
Store copies securely.
Provide the client with the agreed final documents.

Retain records only according to the actual Digi Support retention policy

FAQ

Can Digi Support register my business with CAC?

Digi Support can provide registration support and application assistance within the agreed scope. CAC remains the statutory authority that reviews and approves the application.

How much does CAC registration cost?

Can you guarantee approval?

No. Approval is determined by CAC. Digi Support can help improve application completeness and coordinate responses to queries within scope.

Can you guarantee that my proposed business name will be available?

No. A name must pass the relevant CAC availability/reservation process.

How long will registration take?

It depends on the registration type, completeness of the application and whether CAC raises a query. Current CAC service timelines should be checked before quoting a deadline

Can you register a company instead of a business name?

Yes, Digi Support can support company-registration applications where the client's requirements and the selected structure are suitable. Specialized legal/corporate advice should be obtained where needed.

Can you register an Incorporated Trustee?

Do I receive a physical certificate?

CAC's current iCRP process uses electronic certificates for registrations, which can be downloaded from the dashboard after approval.

Do I need a lawyer to register a Business Name?

CAC's current Business Name service page states that individuals/proprietors can register business names without the services of a legal practitioner, chartered accountant or chartered secretary. More complex matters may still benefit from qualified professional advice.
