Service Overview

Business Name Registration is the most basic form of business registration in Nigeria. It is suitable for sole proprietors, freelancers, and small business owners who operate under a trading name different from their personal name. Once registered, your business name is protected and you can open a corporate bank account, bid for contracts, and operate legally under that name.

Who needs this?

  • Sole proprietors and freelancers
  • Market traders and shop owners
  • Service providers and artisans
  • Anyone starting a small business
