CAC business structure picker

What you'll need

You bring a few simple details about your situation — never a NIN, BVN, passport number, bank or card details:

• How many owners the business will have
• Whether you want it to be a separate legal entity from you personally
• Whether it runs for profit or for a charitable / public purpose
• The scale you're planning for (solo trade, growing company, formal investors)

What this tool is not

NigeriaHowTo is an independent information website. We are not affiliated with any government agency, and this tool will never process your application or share your data with any agency. To be specific:

• It never asks for your NIN, BVN, passport number, bank account, card details, full date of birth or full address.
• It computes everything in your browser — there is no account, and nothing about you is stored or transmitted.
• It is not legal advice and does not decide anything for you — it points you to the right guide.
• It does not register your business, reserve a name, or talk to CAC on your behalf.
• It never asks for personal identity numbers, director details, or any document data.
