FAQ

Business registration questions.

Still stuck? Contact support.

What do I need to register?

Your Nod account (your name, date of birth and phone come from your BVN), up to three names you’d like for the business, what it does and where it is, a photo of your ID (NIN slip, voter’s card, driver’s licence or passport) and your signature, drawn in the app. For a company, each other director’s details, ID and signature too.

How much does it cost?

Business name ₦35,000, limited company ₦60,000, TIN only ₦10,000. You pay from your Nod balance with your PIN, and if it can’t be filed the money goes back to your balance.

Business name or limited company?

A business name suits one owner: a shop, stall, restaurant or trade. A limited company (Ltd) is a separate legal entity with directors and shareholders, for a business that wants partners, investors or bigger contracts. You can add up to 4 other directors and split the shares between you.

What do I get?

Your CAC certificate (and for a company, the status report and memorandum and articles), right in the app to save or share. A company comes with a TIN.

How long does it take?

A business name is usually registered in 1 to 2 working days, a company in 2 to 5 working days and a TIN in 1 working day. You’ll get a notification at every step.

Who files it?

Our accredited CAC agent files it for you. You follow every step in the app, and if CAC wants a different name you send a new one from there.

Can my Nod business account be upgraded after?

Yes. With one tap your business on Nod becomes verified: its documents go into its business file, it gets its own account number in the registered name, and limits rise to ₦5M a day.
