SCUML = Special Control Unit Against Money Laundering. Mandatory under EFCC Act for DNFBPs: real estate, legal services, car dealers, hotels, jewelry, casinos. Required before transactions above ₦5 million. Application needs: CAC certificate, tax clearance, compliance manual, designated compliance officer training. EFCC officers visit premises for verification. Processing: 2-4 weeks, up to 8 weeks during peak. Must renew annually and display prominently.

Apply SCUMLLTD creates separate legal entity - company can own property, sue/be sued independently. Corporate veil protects personal assets from business debts. Banks and government prefer dealing with LTD. Cannot bid for contracts above ₦5 million without LTD status. Corporate bank accounts, loans, investment opportunities restricted to LTD. Compliance: annual returns, board meetings, audited accounts required. If scaling, hiring staff, or seeking investors within 2 years, register LTD from start. Converting later costs more and causes operational disruption. Business Name: cheaper, faster, no annual returns but unlimited liability. Consultation helps choose based on goals, budget, and risk tolerance.
Get AdviceTIN mandatory for all business transactions. CAC generates automatically for LTD since 2021. Business Names must apply via TaxProMax using Form 001. Without TIN: cannot open corporate bank account, process government contracts, issue tax invoices. New businesses must file monthly VAT returns and annual company income tax returns even with zero revenue - "nil returns" compulsory to avoid ₦25,000 monthly penalty. Proper record keeping separates business and personal finances. FIRS now 100% TaxProMax - manual filing rejected. Professional tax management prevents penalties and preserves creditworthiness. File on time every month and year to maintain good standing with FIRS.
File TaxSection 417 CAMA 2020 mandates annual returns for all LTD companies. Deadline: 42 days after Annual General Meeting. Business Names file every 5 years. Late filing penalty: ₦5,000 + ₦500 daily. 10 years non-filing = company struck off CAC register. Returns disclose: directors, shareholders, share capital, financial status. Banks and government check CAC status before transactions. "Inactive" status blocks loans and contracts. We handle complete filing: financial statements, director changes, shareholding updates, registered address changes. Keep company active and compliant yearly to maintain good standing and avoid penalties or striking off from register.
File ReturnsNGOs, churches, mosques, schools, associations must register as Incorporated Trustees under Part CAMA 2020, not Business Name or LTD. Gives legal personality to own land, open bank accounts, receive grants and donations. Process: name search → 28-day newspaper publication in 3 national dailies for public objection → submit constitution, trustee details, board resolution → CAC scrutiny. Timeline: 3-6 months. Unlike companies: no tax on donations but must file annual returns with audited accounts. Board minimum 2 trustees, no family relationship. Many NGOs operate illegally without registration - blocks donor funding and government partnerships. Professional handling ensures constitution meets CAC requirements first time.
Register NGORebranding requires legal name change through CAC special resolution. Timeline: 2-3 weeks. Process: board resolution → shareholder approval 75% majority → name availability search → file Form CAC 2.2 with ₦10,000 fee → CAC approval → new certificate issued. Update all documents: bank accounts, FIRS TIN, PENCOM, NSITF, contracts, letterheads, website, social media. Business Names change by registering new name. Old name remains on CAC records as "formerly known as" for reference. Banks require board resolution + new certificate before changing account name. Professional agents handle resolutions, forms, and notifications to all government agencies to ensure seamless transition.
Change NameAfter CAC certificate, compliance begins immediately. Within 90 days: open corporate bank account, register for VAT if turnover exceeds ₦25 million annually, register with PENCOM and NSITF if employing staff, maintain statutory registers at registered address. First AGM must hold within 18 months of incorporation, then yearly. Business Names file returns every 5 years. LTD files annual returns within 42 days of AGM.

Many companies lose "Active" status due to non-compliance. Our post-incorporation package handles all requirements so you focus on business growth.
Get HelpBefore partnerships or contracts, verify company status on CAC public search portal. Cost: ₦500 per search. Information available: RC number, company name, registration date, directors names, share capital, registered address, company status. "Active" = annual returns filed up to date. "Inactive" = penalties accumulated, risk of striking off. Verify director names match contact person. For LTD: check authorized share capital and paid-up capital. Banks require current CAC status certificate before opening corporate accounts. Government agencies demand certificate for tenders above ₦5 million. We provide detailed verification reports including litigation search, director history, and compliance status for complete due diligence before signing agreements.

Witness: 2 directors + company secretary. Private company: board approval required before transfer to outsider per Articles of Association. Share certificates cancelled and new ones issued.

Register StaffTrademark protects brand name, logo, slogan, product packaging from copycats. Registration with Trademarks Registry, Ministry of Trade. Timeline: 12-18 months. Cost: ₦60,000 per class. Process: availability search → application → 2-month publication in Trademarks Journal for opposition → certificate issued if no objection. Without registration: anyone can use your brand legally. Rights: exclusive use nationwide for 7 years, renewable indefinitely every 14 years. Prevents competitors copying brand. Legal grounds to sue infringers and claim damages. Banks value trademarked brands higher during loan assessment. Classes: 45 total. Common: Class 35 for business services, Class 41 for education, Class 9 for software/apps. Many Nigerian businesses skip this and lose brand to copycats after building reputation.
Register BrandDue diligence involves verifying company's legal status, financial health, and operational capacity before partnerships, investments, or major contracts. Key checks include CAC status, tax compliance, litigation history, and director backgrounds.
Use CAC Public Search, FIRS tax verification, and court record searches. Red flags include frequent director changes, unpaid taxes, pending lawsuits, and inconsistent financial records. Never extend large credit without proper verification.
Professional due diligence prevents business losses from fraud or incompetent partners. ILHAM Digital provides comprehensive due diligence reports including corporate records, litigation search, and reputation verification for business transactions.
Good corporate governance separates ownership from management and ensures transparency. Even small companies need board meetings, proper record keeping, and clear decision-making processes. CAMA 2020 mandates annual general meetings.
Implement internal controls, segregate duties, and maintain accurate financial records. Document all major decisions through board resolutions. Good governance attracts investors and bank financing while reducing fraud risks.
Start with simple governance structures and scale as business grows. Regular compliance audits identify gaps early. ILHAM Digital provides corporate governance training, policy development, and board advisory services for SMEs.
Compliance audit reviews your company's adherence to CAMA, tax laws, labor laws, and industry-specific regulations. Annual audits identify compliance gaps before regulators or investors discover them. Essential for companies seeking funding or partnerships.
Audit covers statutory registers, annual returns filing, tax payments, employment records, and license renewals. Non-compliance penalties can exceed millions of naira and lead to business closure. Prevention is cheaper than cure.
Schedule annual compliance audits and implement recommendations immediately. ILHAM Digital conducts comprehensive compliance audits, identifies risks, and provides actionable remediation plans to keep your business fully compliant.
Online businesses require CAC registration like offline businesses. Additionally, you need website terms and conditions, privacy policy compliant with NDPR 2019, and clear return/refund policies. Payment processors require corporate bank accounts.
VAT applies to digital services sold to Nigerian customers. Consumer Protection Council regulations require transparent pricing and complaint handling procedures. Data protection compliance is mandatory for customer information collection.
E-commerce businesses face additional scrutiny from regulators. Maintain proper records and comply with all regulations. ILHAM Digital helps online businesses with complete registration, NDPR compliance setup, and digital business advisory.
Expanding to other states requires Business Premises Permit and state tax registration in each location. You don't need separate CAC registration but must notify CAC of additional business addresses within 28 days.
Each state has different tax rates and permit requirements. Understand local regulations before expansion. Some states require additional licenses for specific industries. Proper structure prevents double taxation and regulatory conflicts.
Plan expansion strategy carefully. Consider hiring local compliance consultants in new locations. ILHAM Digital provides multi-state expansion advisory, helping businesses navigate different state regulations and maintain compliance nationwide.
