In Nigeria, you can form several types of business entities, including:
- Sole Proprietorship
- General Partnership
- Limited Liability Company (LTD)
- Public Limited Company (PLC)
- Incorporated Trustees (non-profit organizations)
- Unlimited Company
- Limited Liability Partnership (LLP)

Operating an unregistered business is illegal in Nigeria and can result in fines, legal penalties, and restrictions on your ability to enter into contracts or secure financing. Registering your business ensures compliance with the law and protects your business interests.
Apart from resonating with your brand, your business name must comply with the CAC’s naming guidelines, which are in place to make sure business names are special, fitting, and don’t infringe on someone else’s trademark.
Here are some of CAC’s naming guidelines:
- Your business name has to stand out and be different from other business names or trademarks.
- Your business name should be related to what your business does; It shouldn’t mislead or confuse folks. For example, your business name should not imply you own a makeup studio if you are running a fashion store.
- Your business name must not be offensive, rude, discriminatory, or go against what’s considered good behavior in society.
- Your business name must follow all the laws and regulations in Nigeria. Don’t pick a name that suggests anything illegal or unethical. Also, don’t choose names that could trick or fool the public.
- Certain words are off-limits unless you get special permission. For example, words like “Federal,” “National,” and “Government” are reserved and need clearance from the right authorities before you can use them in your business name
