Common questions
Questions clients ask about corporate & commercial law
Should I register a business name or incorporate a company?
They differ in liability, perception, compliance and cost. Many growing businesses incorporate a limited liability company. Advice depends on your activity, risk and plans.
Do we need a shareholders' agreement?
For companies with more than one owner, a shareholders' agreement reduces disputes by documenting ownership, control, funding and exit arrangements.
Can a foreigner own a Nigerian company?
Yes, foreign ownership is generally permitted subject to sector-specific restrictions and immigration and regulatory compliance.
What records must a company keep?
Corporate Affairs Commission filings, statutory registers, board and general meeting resolutions, accounting records and material contracts.
These answers provide general information only and are not legal advice. Outcomes depend on the facts, evidence and applicable law of each matter.
