Verify CAC Information, Shareholder, and Significant Controller Details
The CAC Advanced By Name service allows businesses to securely verify detailed information registered with Nigeria's Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) using a business name rather than a registration number. This service provides insights into company registration, shareholder structure, and significant controllers, offering a comprehensive view of a company's legal and ownership status.
Key Features:
- Business Name Search: Enables verification of a company's details using its business name.
- Company Registration Details: Includes the company's registration number, classification, registration date, status, and other relevant company data.
- Shareholder Information: Provides data about the company's shareholders, including their names and roles (e.g., director, secretary).
