In this article, we will be talking about CAC name search portal. We will furnish you with all the details you need to check if a company is duly registered in Nigeria. First and foremost what is the meaning of CAC? CAC stands for corporate affairs commission. It is an agency saddled with the responsibility of registering companies and organizations in Nigeria. CAC is Nigeria's corporate registry.

About CAC

The Companies And Allied Matters Act, which was enacted in 1900, created the Corporate Affairs Commission to oversee the creation and operation of businesses in Nigeria.The former company registry, a division of the Federal Ministry of Commerce and Tourism responsible for the registration and administration of the since-repealed companies act of 1968, was seen as being inefficient and ineffective, leading to the creation of the Corporate Affairs Commission as an independent body.

CAC Name Search Portal

The CAC name search portal allows the public to confirm the legitimacy of an organization before doing business with them. It is a known fact that it is very easy to trace or track a registered organization all thanks to the CAC as CAC readily has the vital information of registered organizations available. We have heard numerous cases of organizations that claim to be registered but are not. Hence we strongly advise that before you do business with any organization, make sure you confirm if their claims of CAC registration are genuine. You can do that with the CAC name search portal. 

How to check if a company is registered with CAC

The CAC has developed a public search engine on its website where one may verify a company's registration to decrease the risk of unwary people or corporations trading with unregistered businesses that have no legal standing.

Follow these simple instructions to verify a company's registration:

• Visit the CAC’s website
• Scroll down the site and click on “Public Search”
• Insert the RC Number of the company you wish to search (if known) or the full name of the company in the search box and click on “Search”
• If the company is registered, the result will display the full company name, RC number, and office address.

As previously mentioned, it is quite simple and quick to determine whether a company is registered without having to pay a charge. Additionally, one can check by asking to see the company's certificate of incorporation and then cross-referencing the data on that document with that found on the CAC's portal. A business must be properly registered with the Corporate Affairs Commission to have legal protection. To avoid getting conned, it is crucial to do your research before using a service or doing business with a firm. If a corporation is not registered, a search may return no results. The CAC's online check, however, will only show whether or not the company is properly registered with the commission. If the company is registered, the registered office address and registration number will also be included in the search result (RC). The names or other information about the company's directors and shareholders is not included. Anyone interested in learning the whole information about a registered company should speak with a lawyer or a CAC licensed agent who can help them with a fee-based extensive search from the CAC.
