CAC Business Name Registration Form

Streamline Your CAC Business Name Registration with Paperform

Starting a business in Nigeria? The Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) business name registration process is your first official step—and getting it right matters. Whether you're a sole proprietor, freelancer, entrepreneur, or SMB launching a new venture, this CAC Business Name Registration Form template helps you collect all the required information for your BN-1 application in one professional, organized document.

Why This Template Works for Nigerian Businesses

Paperform's CAC registration template is designed specifically for legal service providers, business consultants, corporate secretaries, and entrepreneurs navigating Nigeria's regulatory landscape. Instead of juggling paper forms, email chains, and missing details, you can collect proprietor information, business activity descriptions, proposed names with alternatives, and supporting documentation—all in one branded form that works on any device.

The form includes conditional logic to handle different proprietor structures (individual vs. corporate proprietors), calculates ages automatically from dates of birth, and ensures you capture all the information FIRS and CAC require before submission. This means fewer back-and-forth exchanges, faster processing, and a more professional client experience.

Automate Your Compliance Workflow with Stepper

Once a client submits their CAC registration form, you can use Stepper to automatically create tasks for document verification, send confirmation emails with next steps, update your CRM or project management system, and trigger reminders for outstanding requirements. This keeps your legal practice or consulting business running smoothly while you focus on high-value advisory work rather than manual data entry.
