If you've opted for online business registration at Corporate Affairs Commission Nigeria website, you will need an availability code for you to be able to complete the registration process after your company or business name might have been approved by CAC. The availability code is clearly printed on the approval note which you will have to download from the CAC portal.
So, in this blog post, I want to guide you on steps to take to download your CAC approval note so you can get the availability code needed for the completion of your online business registration.
How To Download CAC Approval Note
Go to CAC login portal :
Click on "Sign in"
Enter your username & password and click on "Log In"
Click on "Name Search" tab
Click on "My Reservation History" tab
You will see list of your approved business names
Click on the "Action" button and click on "view payment history"
You will be prompted to save the pdf file. Save it to where you can easily find it.
Once download completes, open the pdf file.
The serial number is your availability code.
You can now go back to the registration tab, enter the availability code, to complete your company or business name registration.
Kindly note that your approved business name will be reserved for 60 (Sixty) days.
Information clear and easily to follow. Corporate affairs commission is making things easier now unlike before..

ReplyDeletehow do I get consent code for name search?
ReplyDeleteHi
ReplyDeleteThanks for your insightful instructions. I requested for a name search on 11th of Jan. 2017 and since then, I have been waiting for the approve letter which was not forthcoming. Disturbed for the late arrival of their report I stumbled at your site which had been very helpful. I visited their site and I saw the approved name. I downloaded the approved letter, all I could see was a blank page no approved name; serial number; reserved on or reserved till date.pls what can I do.
I check in today 17th March 2017

DeleteHow do I get consent code?
ReplyDeleteGETTING consent code is quite strange but the solution to the problem is the name you are using.. if the name carries word like for example ( investment, limited, company and some other big names it will request for consent code.. so if its only business name you want to register just use your prefered name thats all and they wont ask for consent code. hope this is helpfull
