Private Limited Company (LTD) Incorporation

A Private Limited Company (LTD) in Nigeria is the ideal choice for entrepreneurs and growing businesses looking to protect their assets while enjoying the benefits of a separate legal entity.

It requires at least one natural person as a director, and the same individual can serve as both the sole shareholder and director, offering flexibility and simplicity in management.

At SplashDict, we make incorporating your Private Limited Company easy, handling everything from registration with the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) to delivery of your company documents.

Key Features:

  • A separate legal entity owned by shareholders.
  • Shareholders have limited liability.
  • Typically used for small and medium-sized businesses. 

Company Limited by Guarantee (LTD/GTE) Incorporation

This type of company is a non-profit organization, similar to an Incorporated Trustee, but it is registered as a company with the CAC.

Charities often use a guarantee company entity, but not all companies limited by guarantee are charitable. Other common uses for this type of company are membership organizations and clubs, including sports associations.

It has members instead of shareholders, and its activities are restricted to those set out in its memorandum and articles of association. The company's members limited by guarantee are not liable for its debts, but they may be required to contribute to its assets if it is wound up.

Key Features:

  • A type of company where members guarantee the debts of the company.
  • Often used for non-profit organizations and cooperative societies. 

Public Limited Company (PLC) Incorporation

A Public Limited Liability Company (PLC) in Nigeria is a company that has offered its shares to the public and has limited liability. These companies can invite the public to subscribe to their shares and become shareholders thereby being part of the owners of the company.

It is a mandate to have a minimum share capital of N2,00,000 and requires a minimum of 2 Members to register the Public limited company; there is no restriction on the maximum number of shareholders in such company. The shareholders have liability only on the amount of capital they have invested in the company.

Key Features:

  • Can be listed on the stock exchange and has a wider shareholder base.
  • Subject to more stringent regulations than private companies.
  • Often used for large corporations. 

An unlimited company does not have any limit on the liability of its members. A Private unlimited company is very much like a regular private company limited by shares, the main difference arises when insolvency occurs - You could lose everything.

They enjoy the privilege of not having to deliver annual accounts to the Corporate Affairs Commission. This allows them to maintain a level of secrecy unavailable to limited companies, which must file annual accounts.

An unlimited company has the responsibility of a sole trader. Upon its registration, it assumes a separate legal personality from those of its members, enjoys perpetual succession, and becomes endowed with the capacity to sue and be sued separately from its members.

Key Features:

  • A company with unlimited liability for its members.
  • Less common in Nigeria and typically used for professional partnerships.
