CAC & Compliance

Compliance Isn't a One-Time Certificate

Classicsmart was built on the belief that a business's legal standing shouldn't be a mystery to its owner. We handle CAC registration and every filing that keeps a business standing after that.

CAC-accredited — registered to file directly with the Commission.

What Most Business Owners Get Wrong

Many treat CAC registration as something you do once and forget. In reality, businesses that miss annual returns or fail to update their records can lose good standing without ever knowing it — until a bank, investor, or partner asks for proof and there isn't one.

Classicsmart tracks what's due and files it before it becomes your problem. You're told what's happening with your business, never kept in the dark nor left to find out the hard way.

Whether You're in Lagos or Managing From Abroad

Distance shouldn't mean losing track of your own paperwork. Diaspora clients get the same filings and deadlines managed directly, with a single point of contact who knows their file.

Common Questions

I haven't filed annual returns in years. Is it too late?

No. It's common, and it's fixable. We review what's outstanding, file what's owed, and get your business back into good standing.

How long does CAC registration take?

Typically a few business days once your documents are ready, though it can vary depending on the Commission's processing times.

Can this be handled if I'm not in Nigeria?

Yes. Diaspora clients are a regular part of our work — everything is handled remotely, with a single point of contact and clear updates.

What documents do I need to get started?

It depends on whether you're registering new or bringing an existing business into compliance. We'll tell you exactly what's needed after a short intake.

Do you only handle CAC, or VAT too?

Both. We handle CAC registration and filings, plus VAT filing through the NRS portal, as part of ongoing compliance.
