President Muhamadu Buhari in October 2020 approved free business name registration with the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) for 250,000 businesses across the nation.
Now, the Federal Government has announced that 100,000 business names have been registered for free by the Corporate Affairs Commission under its CAC Scheme in partnership with the Survival fund.
This was disclosed in a statement by the FG on Wednesday, January 27, 2020.
Pleased to announce that we have hit a milestone of 100,000 Business Names registered free of charge by @cacnigeria1 as part of the @SurvivalFund_ng. Registering these existing and new businesses brings them into the formal economy, with benefits for the Govt and the businesses. https://t.co/MHWXFu9pnG

I got my business name registered with this free CAC registration (When I searched my business name it showed my RC number but my issue now is how do I get my CERTIFICATE and my TIN (which is supposed to come automatically with the CAC)… Also how do I get to correct my address

Milestone?? How was this done?? I remember sending a completed copy of the form to my state Aggregator and I didn't get any acknowledgement or reply.

The honest truth about this free Business Name registration is that it isn't as transparent as expected. I just think each state focal person need to be checked. The @NigeriaGov gave the clear intent under @SurvivalFund_ng and i think transparency is the hiccup
