A name change may be necessary to resolve trademark conflicts, align with a new brand or strategic direction, reflect structural changes such as a merger, or simply to correct an error in the original registration. This process must be properly filed and approved, whether it's a voluntary choice or one mandated by the CAC.

Why File Change of Company Name with CAC?

Your company’s name is the legal identity under which it operates in Nigeria. If you intend to operate under a new name, it is a legal requirement to have the change formally approved and registered with the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC). Without this official approval, the new name holds no legal standing.

Changing your company’s name does not erase existing liabilities or obligations. Legal actions initiated under the old name can continue under the new one. In some cases, CAC may mandate a name change, particularly if the registered name conflicts with an existing company, resembles a registered trademark without consent, or was approved in error.

  • Rebranding or Strategic Shift: A new name can better reflect your company's current mission, vision, or product offerings, especially during repositioning, rebranding, or market expansion.

  • Mergers and Acquisitions: When companies merge or undergo structural changes, a new name helps reflect the new identity or combined entity.

  • Legal Compliance or Trademark Conflicts: A name change may be necessary to resolve trademark disputes, avoid confusion with another registered business, or comply with CAC directives.

  • Correcting Registration Errors: Fix spelling mistakes or naming format issues that don't comply with CAC guidelines.

  • Court Orders or CAC Mandates: Comply with legal directives or CAC instructions following a name conflict or passing-off judgment.

  • Smooth Operational Transition: Updating your business name does not disrupt your existing contracts, bank accounts, or tax details, ensuring a seamless operational transition.
