Why You Should Always Use an Accredited Agent (Not DIY CAC)

CAC's self-service portal looks tempting - until your name is rejected, your objects are wrong, and your share structure can't be fixed without paying again.

Yes, CAC technically lets individuals file themselves. No, you shouldn't. Here's why every serious founder uses an accredited agent like Accolade Media Global.

What an accredited agent actually does

  • Pre-checks your proposed name against CAC's database to avoid rejection
  • Drafts your MEMART with the correct objects for your industry
  • Structures share capital and allotment so you can raise money later
  • Files TIN, SCUML, and post-incorporation documents in the same workflow
  • Fixes CAC portal errors in real time - DIY filers wait weeks for support

The hidden cost of DIY

We've onboarded hundreds of founders who 'saved money' filing themselves - then paid double to fix rejected names, wrong directors, missing SCUML, mis-classified objects, or unworkable share structures. Some lost contracts and bank accounts in the process.
