In the past years, all the operations of the Commission had been manual in which individuals and corporate entities that had anything to do with the Commission had to visit any of its offices that are scattered across the country. But today, Corporate Affairs Commission has gone digital. This means that you don’t need to visit the office of the Commission to get things done. Recently, I went to their office, but to my surprise, I was not allowed to enter. They let me realize that there is nothing I wanted to do that I could not do via the CAC login portal. So, for everyone who may want to contact the Corporate Affairs Commission, this article gives you detailed information about the CAC Login portal where you can carry out both CAC registration and other post-incorporation activities

CAC Login Portal for Pre-incorporation Services
The CAC Login Portal for pre-incorporation is https://pre.cac.gov.ng/login. This CAC Login Portal is where you can login if you are a registered user. There are options to login with your username, email, phone number of accreditation number. You also need to supply your password.
What can you do with this CAC Login Portal? This particular CAC Login Portal is where you can apply for name reservation and register a business name, company and incorporated trustees. After you have logged in to the platform, you can monitor from the platform, the number and status of your name reservations whether it has been submitted, pending/queried, denied or reserved. In the same manner, you monitor from the platform, the number and status of your registrations whether it has been submitted, pending, queried, or register.
In case you don’t have a login details, you can register newly in case you want to register your own business name. However, Do-it-Yourself (DIY) comes with its own challenges. In my own opinion, it is better to engage an accredited agent to register your business for you in order to avoid unnecessary mistakes which can be costly at times.
Another highlight of this CAC login portal is that you can actually conduct a public search for existing entities there. This is good for people who way to register a new entity and want to test the availability of their proposed names before they apply for name reservation.
