Technical Compliance

Business Name Registration Support

Practical help registering a business name with CAC when you need a recognised trading identity without incorporating a limited company yet.

What this covers

Support for preparing the details CAC typically expects for a business-name registration, guiding the submission process, and clarifying how this differs from limited-company registration.

Final processing and approval remain with CAC. This is not legal advice and does not guarantee name availability or registration outcomes.

Information clients generally need

  • Proposed business name options
  • Proprietor details and contact information
  • Business address
  • Valid means of identification
  • A short description of the business activity

After registration, some founders still need DUNS Number Registration for Apple or Google organization verification. Both sit under Technical Compliance Support.
