“CAC’s New AI-Powered Portal: What Every Business Must Know”

🚀 CAC’s New AI-Powered Portal: What Every Business Must Know

📌 Introduction

On July 1, 2025, the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) piloted an AI-driven registration portal, marking a major leap in Nigeria’s business formalization process. This upgrade is expected to reduce bottlenecks and deliver near-instant registration services.

⚙️ How It Works

✅ Instant Name Reservation & Suggestions

The AI checks proposed names in real time and provides intelligent alternatives if the chosen name is unavailable—comparable to email account creation, according to BusinessDay.

✅ NIN-Based Registration

Users can now register using just their National Identification Number (NIN). The AI connects to NIMC instantly to verify identities, eliminating the usual manual document processing, according to Nairametrics.

✅ 30-Minute Certificate Delivery

Once approved, a digital certificate of incorporation is emailed within 30 minutes—a huge improvement in speed, according to Nairametrics.

🤖 Tackling Delays with AI

Where previous systems were slowed by NIMC verification lag, the AI now uses photo ID matching to overcome such issues and maintain efficiency, as reported by Nairametrics.

🛡️ Enhanced Security & Upcoming Features

• CAC is adding two-factor authentication and OTP login to prevent unauthorized updates, according to The Guardian Nigeria.

• A mobile app for real-time registration tracking is expected to launch later in 2025, according to Punch.

🔎 Implications for Business Owners

• Speed & Convenience: No more waiting days or weeks—ideal for entrepreneurs.

• Fewer Errors: AI auto-checks for consistency and correct document formatting.

• More Access: Partnerships with fintech platforms like Opay, Moniepoint, and Palmpay will allow businesses to register from mobile apps, according to BusinessDay.

• Formalization Boost: CAC targets 50% MSME formalization in the next phase of Nigeria’s digital economy rollout, also noted by BusinessDay.

✅ What You Should Do Now

1. Ensure your NIN is active and correct for each director or proprietor.

2. Use the new AI portal to check and reserve your business name in real time.

3. Get familiar with digital validation processes and fintech platforms supporting the new flow.

4. Stay ready for the CAC mobile app launch for faster registration monitoring.
