Register a Limited Company in Nigeria
Build a business that commands respect, protects your personal wealth, and attracts serious investors. Registering a Private Limited Liability Company (LTD) gives your organization a separate legal identity under Nigerian law.
Why Incorporate as an LLC?
A Limited Liability Company is the gold standard of business structures globally. By incorporating as an LLC in Nigeria, your business becomes an independent legal entity separate from its directors and shareholders.
This means the company can sue, be sued, own property, and most importantly, it limits your personal liability. If the business incurs massive debt, your personal cars, houses, and bank accounts cannot be seized to pay it off.
Asset Protection
Your personal assets are 100% protected. Your financial risk is limited only to the amount you invested in the company\'s share capital.
Investor Readiness
Venture capitalists, angel investors, and government bodies will not invest in a mere Business Name. They require a Limited Company structure with clearly defined share allotments.
Perpetual Succession
Even if the founder retires, resigns, or passes away, the company continues to exist and operate legally. It is a legacy you can pass down.

Frequently Asked Questions
Clear answers to your most pressing questions regarding LLC incorporation.
Can I be the only Director and Shareholder?
Yes! Under the new Companies and Allied Matters Act (CAMA 2020), a single person can register and own 100% of a Private Limited Liability Company in Nigeria. You no longer need to forcefully add a partner if you want to run solo.
What does "1 Million Share Capital" mean? Do I pay 1 million naira to CAC?
No, you DO NOT pay 1 million naira to the CAC or to us. "1 Million Share Capital" simply means your company\'s shares are divided into 1 million units. The CAC registration fees are calculated based on this share capital size, but you are not required to deposit 1 million naira into any bank account to register.
What is a MEMART? Do I need to provide it?
MEMART stands for Memorandum and Articles of Association. It is the constitution of your company. No, you do not need to provide it. Our legal experts will automatically draft standard, CAC-approved MEMART documents specifically tailored to your business sector during the registration process.
Are foreigners allowed to own a Limited Company?
Yes, foreigners can own 100% of a Nigerian Limited Liability Company. However, companies with foreign participation must have a minimum share capital of 100 Million Naira, and they must register with the NIPC (Nigerian Investment Promotion Commission).
