The Certificate Of Incorporation Form is a crucial document required for establishing a legal business entity in Nigeria. This document is issued by the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) under the authority of the Companies and Allied Matters Act (CAMA) 2020. It serves as the official evidence of a company's legal existence and is required for opening bank accounts, entering into contracts, and conducting business operations in Nigeria. The certificate includes vital information about the company such as its unique registration number, company name, date of incorporation, registered address, and share capital structure. It must be obtained before a company can legally operate in Nigeria and is often requested by banks, government agencies, and business partners as proof of the company's legal status.
