Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Q
What's the best corporate structure for my startup?
A

The optimal structure depends on factors like ownership structure, funding plans, business activities, and tax considerations. We typically recommend Private Limited Company (Ltd) for most startups due to limited liability protection and flexibility, but we'll assess your specific needs to provide tailored advice.

Q
How long does company incorporation take in Nigeria?
A

With the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) online portal, incorporation can be completed in 24-48 hours for straightforward cases. Complex structures or those requiring special approvals may take longer. We handle the entire process to ensure smooth and timely completion.

Q
Do I need a Nigerian partner to start a business in Nigeria?
A

Not necessarily. Foreign investors can own 100% of businesses in most sectors, though some sectors have local content requirements or restrictions. We help navigate these requirements and structure compliant foreign investment arrangements.

Q
What ongoing compliance requirements do Nigerian companies have?
A

Nigerian companies must file annual returns with CAC, maintain proper books of accounts, hold annual general meetings, and comply with tax obligations. Public companies have additional requirements. We provide ongoing compliance support to ensure all obligations are met.
