What is Name Reservation?

Name reservation in Nigeria is the process of securing your chosen business or company name with the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) for a period of 60 days. It is the mandatory first step before full company incorporation or business name registration. Once approved, no other person or entity can register that name during the reservation period, giving you time to prepare your incorporation documents without losing your preferred name.
