Register Your NGO or Church with CAC
Establish your Foundation, NGO, Church, Mosque, or Association legally in Nigeria as Incorporated Trustees. We handle the complex newspaper publications and Trustee verifications so you can focus on your mission.
Why Register as Incorporated Trustees?
In Nigeria, non-profit organizations cannot be registered as standard Limited Liability Companies. They must be registered under Part F of CAMA as Incorporated Trustees. This provides legal backing for your charitable or religious activities.
Receive Grants
International donors and government agencies only fund legally recognized NGOs with an official CAC certificate and corporate bank account.
Legal Protection
The Trustees gain limited liability protection, meaning their personal assets are protected while executing the organization's goals.
Public Trust
Having a CAC certificate immediately builds immense trust with the public, volunteers, and potential financial partners.
The NGO Registration Process
Unlike normal businesses, registering an NGO requires mandatory newspaper publications to allow for public objections. We manage this entire process for you.
Name Approval
We submit your proposed names to CAC. NGO names usually end with Foundation, Initiative, Center, Ministry, or Association.
Newspaper Publication
By law, we publish the approved name and list of Trustees in two national daily newspapers for 28 days.
Final Incorporation
After the 28-day window closes without objection, we draft the constitution, file the documents, and secure your Certificate.
