Diaspora Founders - How to Register a Nigerian Business Without Coming Home

Based in the UK, US, Canada or Dubai? You can fully register a Nigerian CAC company, get TIN, SCUML and even open a bank account remotely.

Many Nigerians in the diaspora postpone registering at home because they think they need to fly in. You don't. Every step - CAC, TIN, SCUML, SMEDAN, trademark, even certain bank onboardings - can be done remotely in 2026 with the right agent.

What we handle remotely

  • CAC name reservation + full registration (LTD, Business Name, NGO)
  • Director appointment with overseas address
  • TIN activation & SCUML certification
  • SMEDAN MSME registration
  • Trademark filing at the Nigerian IPO
  • Local director / company secretary arrangement if you want one

What still needs you in person

  • Most banks require at least one physical signatory visit - though digital-first banks now exist
  • Some category licences (e.g. NAFDAC inspection) need on-site presence

Documents you'll need to send

  • International Passport scan
  • Proof of address (utility bill / bank statement)
  • NIN slip (now mandatory even from abroad)
  • Two proposed company names
  • Authority letter (template AMG provides)

Start from your phone - finish in days
