How To Register Your Business Name With Corporate Affairs Commission.

By Oshobukola Olufemi.

The Corporate Affairs Commission  regulates the formation and management of companies
in Nigeria. It is empowered by the Nigerian law to handle all issues associated with company registration,
business names, and incorporated trustees in Nigeria.

If you want to register your business name in Nigeria  without involving a third party ( eg an agent etc),
you will have to go directly to any of the Corporate Affairs Commission  branches all across the country. Corporate Affairs Commission  offices are mostly found  in most of the state capitals in Nigeria you can check  (http://www.cac.gov.ng, http://cacnigeria.org).

Why Register a Business Name?
Registering your business name is highly encouraged. It gives you the legality to use the name to do business.
It will make so many people to have confidence in doing business with you. In fact, without a registered business name,
 you will not be able to do business with government parastatals or go into partnership with some companies.
 If you run a business without registering it and you get involved in a legal battle, you will Make sure you have
 at least two to four different unique names at hand before going to the  Corporate Affairs Commission office
  •     The names must not contain words like "National", "Government", "State", "Co-operative" etc
  •     The names must not be similar to any business or trade mark already registered in Nigeria
  •     The use of the word "Consulting" and registration of some professional services will require
  •      That you provide evidence of the relevant professional qualifications and/or registrations.
  •      Please try avoiding such if you do not have such professional qualifications.

Tell the CAC staff you want to register your business name.
You will be told to pay for the ‘Availability Check and Reservation of Name Form’ and file.
 Both costs  approximately N200. You can also download the form from http://cacnigeria.org/jm/.

Fill the form and submit. The CAC staff will guide you in filling it. You will be told to check back,
after a week or two to know the fate of the business names submitted. In my own case, the CAC
 staff called my phone number after a week, to come to the office to finalize my registration.

This is the most challenging stage of the whole process because you can’t proceed to the next stage
 if your business name has not been approved. If Corporate Affairs Commission disapproves both names submitted, you have to buy another ‘Availability Form’ and go though the process again.
 
 If any of the submitted names is approved, you will be told to pay N4,000 for the proper registration
of the business name. You can check out the Corporate Affairs Commission fee (here: http://www.cac.gov.ng/Pages/fee.htm) You will be provided with a registration form to use in registering the approved business name

Below are the requirements for the business name registration form:
 
The approved business name, 
The business address, 
The name of the sole proprietor or partners,
The address of the owner/s, 
Two passport photographs of the owner/s.
General nature of the business.

 If you can"t find the nature of your service choose general merchandise/trading. The Corporate Affairs Commission staff might present a document to you containing the categories of business names. From the list, you will choose the categories that matches your kind of business

On completion of the form, you will need to submit the form with the receipt of payment of the N4, 000.
You will be asked to come for your certificate in 2-3 weeks time. The commission will register the name after
satisfying that the necessary documents and information are in place. Once you collect your certificate of registration
of business name, you can boast anywhere of running a legal business.

Recharge Card Dealership Business Is Highly Lucrative

By ComExpert

Recharge Card Dealership business is quite a lucrative business: The reason is because it is the second fastest selling commodity today in Nigeria today in terms of sales volume. The only commodity that sells higher than Recharge Cards is the Proverbial Pure Water or Sachet Water. So, if you have been looking for a business to venture into and you have the capital, then you may want to take my advice and venture into this high-volume, low-risk business of Recharge Card Printing and supply. But maybe you want more details about the business and all it entails, and I am going to give it to you now.

Many people in the past have ripped people off with the misconception that this business could be started with Kobos; but my first advice here is: “If you don’t have up to N3,000,000.00 (Oh Yes! That is Three Million Naira in case you are wondering if I am aware of what I am saying), don’t even try it because you may not survive for too long.” Enough of the scare and let’s get started in case you are still there. Provided you will follow the guidelines I have laid down here, this business will make you wealthy in the shortest possible time.

First, permit me to use what I call the “Worst Case Scenario”: A situation whereby I use the smallest values to determine how profitable a business will be for one. I guess it’s better than overshooting reality and expecting unimaginable returns only to be disappointed at the end by the worst.

Without much ado, I will start by giving you a summary of the Recharge Card Business Structure, and how the business works.

The Recharge Card Business Structure is made up of the following:
Retailer
Sub-Dealer
Dealer
Network Provider

The Retailers
The final consumers buy directly from these ones. They are the ones you will see in your streets, in schools, around the marketplaces, etc. Some retailers use a phone call stand as their shop, while others may opt for a wooden kiosk or metallic containers. The recharge card retailers usually supplement their business with phone call. With as little as N50,000, you can comfortably start as a Recharge card retailer.

The Sub-Dealers
The recharge card retailers buy directly from the sub-dealers. Basically, a sub-dealer is registered with a Dealer for either one network provider, or as many as he/she can afford. Let me explain further because this is likely where you want to start your recharge card business.

You could become sub-dealer for MTN, Glo , Airtel, and Etisalat. You will have to register in each case with a Dealer for each network. This mean that, to become a sub-dealer for MTN, you will need to register with an MTN Dealer. Likewise, you will need to register with an Airtel Dealer, to become a sub-dealer of Airtel Recharge cards.

The same applies to the other GSM networks which recharge cards you want to distribute. I know for sure that to become a sub-dealer, all you need do is locate a Dealer near you, and make your intentions known. The dealer will educate you appropriately and perhaps register you at the same time. To comfortably become a sub-dealer, you need to be register across-board for all the GSM Networks. This is because, when the retailer comes to buy from you, they expect that you have all the recharge cards they need, if not, they will not regard you as a true dealer, and may go elsewhere.

To become a sub-dealer for MTN, you will register for free. But each time you want to order for stock, you are required to get at least N600,000 worth (this will constitute all the denominations, and you are free to buy any quantity you desire.) If you factor this into the four GSM Network’s recharge cards, you will need about N2.4 million. To be on the safer side, and not have an out-of-stock-and-out-of-cash problem, I decided to approximate the startup to N3 million. Anyone with this sum, a shop can start a recharge card sub-dealership.

As a sub-dealer, you can print the recharge vouchers (the N100 and sometimes N200 denominations.) But it’s better you allow the dealer do the work.

The Dealers

The sub-dealers get their stock from the Dealers. Basically, it’s not easy to become a dealer. If you doubt, just try it: go to any GSM Network provider and find out. Even if you have billions to invest, they will not listen to you. The reason is obvious: “Too many cooks spoil the broth.” Normally, there are not more than 3 or 4 dealers per state, and a dealer only sells the recharge cards of one, and only one network.

The dealer can print the recharge vouchers on behalf of their registered sub-dealers. The biggest profit in this business goes to the dealers.

The days when schools and organizations send news letters or circulars to customers or parents reminding them of forthcoming events is gone.
