Step One: Determine (if you don’t have that already) the business name you want to register. Make it as clear and straight forward as possible to help your customers easily remember it.
Step Two: Locate the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) office in your city (CAC has offices in many capital cities across the country) and file a business name. Search form costs not more than N500. After filling and submitting the form you will have to wait for about 1 to 2 weeks to know if the name you filed is available (it shouldn’t take as long as that but in Nigeria, sometimes, things are like that)
If the name you filled is unavailable you may have to fill another one. If the result shows that your business name is available you can proceed to the third step.
Step Three: Ask for the business name registration file. Pay the required charges at designed payment points (always ask an official at the CAC office)
Step Four:Fill the forms (ask questions where you are confused) and return. Make sure to collect receipt/proof of payment.
Step Five: Check back a week or two later and pick up your business name certification.
Note: You don’t need a lawyer to register your business unless you have a couple of thousands more to pay him for his services....
