Nigerians can now register their businesses via a single form – CAC

Posted on by

The Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) has consolidated the forms required to register a business in Nigeria, reducing the number from seven to one.

This was revealed by Garba Abubakar, the special adviser to the commission’s registrar-general of the commission, at the Lagos stakeholders forum of the Enabling Business Environment Secretariat (EBES).

“We now have just one form which has been deployed this week. It contains all the information you need to register and is available for download on the CAC website. This reduces the cost and time needed to register a business,” Abubakar said.

Abubakar said the CAC would ensure that business owners are able to upload documents electronically as part of its deliverables in the 60-day national action plan on Ease of Doing Business in Nigeria.

The Lagos stakeholders forum was the second in two days by EBES, following Thursday’s forum in Kano.

According to Jumoke Oduwole, the coordinator of EBES, the forums are designed to inform private stakeholders about government’s efforts to ease the business environment; share details on the action plan; and receive feedback to report back to the Presidential Enabling Business Environment Council (PEBEC).

She pointed out that an example of the feedback process at work was the unscheduled visit on Thursday by Acting President Yemi Osinbajo to the Murtala Mohammed International Airport, Lagos, based on EBES feedback.

“Our vision is a dramatic improvement in Nigeria’s business environment over the next three years to a top 100 ranking in the World Bank Doing Business Report, with increased cross-border trading, increased productivity across key economic sectors and an improved business environment that is attractive to both domestic and foreign investors,” she said.

The two forums in Kano and Lagos were well attended by government officials, heads of MDAs and private sector players who interrogated and interacted with officials, offered advice and aired grievances.

Speaking at the Lagos forum, Okechukwu Enelamah, the minister of industry, trade and investment, said the renewed push to ease the business environment was due to the realisation that “every country that has gotten it right has enabled businesses. It is the most sustainable long term way.”

The state governments involved, highlighted reform efforts in their states especially as regards getting construction permits and registering properties, which are under their purview.

“In Lagos, getting governor’s permit now takes less than 30 days. Quote me anywhere,” Wasiu Anifowoshe, commissioner of physical planning and urban development, said.

Some other reform initiatives announced at the forums include the CAC upcoming reform that will allow business owners to get e-stamps for stamp duties without the need to visit the offices of the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS).

On its part, the FIRS said Tax Identification Numbers (TIN) can now be gotten when registering businesses at the CAC without having to visit its offices.

Other facilitators at the event include Yewande Sadiku, the executive secretary of the Nigerian Investment Promotion Council (NIPC) and Jameelah Ayedun, the MD of CR Services.

There were also officials from the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS), Nigeria Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC), Eko Distribution Company, the National Collateral Registry, Nigeria Ports Authority (NPA), Nigeria Customs Service (NCS), amongst others.

The forums were anchored around the seven priority reform areas of EBES; starting a business, getting credit, trading across borders, getting electricity, construction permits, paying taxes and registering property.
