About the register

Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC)

Companies in Nigeria are registered by the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC), the agency of government charged with the administration of the Companies and Allied Matters Act. The Commission was originally established by the Companies and Allied Matters Act 1990; that Act was repealed and a new Companies and Allied Matters Act (CAMA) enacted in 2020, preserving the Commission's establishment. Its remit covers the formation, incorporation, management, striking off and winding up of companies, limited liability partnerships and limited partnerships, the registration, management and removal of business names, and the formation, incorporation, management and dissolution of incorporated trustees.

The Commission's services include online and self-service search, certified extracts of certificates and of filed documents, historical search reports, status reports, and the registration of notices of persons with significant control, share allotments and charges.

Beneficial ownership is public in Nigeria. Under CAMA 2020, a person with significant control (PSC) is any person holding, directly or indirectly, not less than 5% of the shares, interest or voting rights, or the right to exercise significant influence or control over a company or limited liability partnership. The Commission operates a dedicated Persons with Significant Control register, built in accordance with the Beneficial Ownership Data Standard, with an online search by entity name, entity number or PSC full name. The Company Records report for Nigeria includes the company profile, the list of officers and the list of persons with significant control sourced from the official register.
