Why Incorporate Your Trustees with CAC?

Registering your NGO, church, mosque, school, or society as an Incorporated Trustee with the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) grants legal recognition and operational legitimacy.

Incorporated Trustees are established for religious, educational, literary, social, developmental, cultural, sporting, charitable, or other nonprofit purposes without the intention of making profits.

Let our CAC-accredited experts manage the process professionally, fast, and fully compliant.

  • Gain distinct legal identity: Registration with the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) gives your organization a legal personality, separate from its founders and trustees.

  • Limit personal liability: Trustees are protected from personal liability for the organization’s debts or obligations, except in cases of misconduct or fraud.

  • Eligibility for Grants & Donations: Many local and international donors require organizations to be legally registered before providing funding.

  • Ensure perpetual succession: The organization continues to exist even when trustees or members change, ensuring stability and continuity.

  • Open a corporate bank account: A registered Incorporated Trustee can open and operate a bank account in the organization’s name.

  • Protect your organization’s name: Incorporation protects against unauthorized use of your association’s name and identity.
