Business name registration typically takes 5-7 working days, while limited liability companies take 10-14 working days. NGO registration may take 2-3 weeks depending on CAC processing times.

After receiving your certificate, you'll need to register for taxes (TIN), open a corporate bank account, and obtain any required industry licenses. We guide you through all post-registration steps.
