The importance of registering your business(s) cannot be overemphasized. Business name or company registration is a must for every serious business man or woman.
- With the document of business name or company registration bearing your details and all in your possession, you become the authentic owner of that business name.
As the owner of the registered business name or company, no one can get that same name or company registered. You can sue anybody using your name to run his/her business for business impersonation without your consent. No one can use your registered name officially (no two persons can have the same business name registered).
Register your preferred business name as soon as possible before someone else gets it registered. Before you start promoting that business of yours with a name that is not officially registered with the Corporate Affairs Commission, please endeavor to get it registered before you start in earnest. This will avert the disappointment you will be greeted with when you discover that the name has been registered by someone, making it impossible for that name to be approved for registration.
The following are the benefits of having your business name registered;
- As earlier stated, it makes you the certified owner of the business name
- It boosts your customers confidence in doing business with you, a lot of scammers are out there. This has limited the customers trust and confidence in doing business with unregistered businesses
- It can act as a proof of business commencement date.
- It will enable you to open a corporate or business bank account. This also boosts customers confidence and trust. Most customers will not pay into a personal bank account
- It opens door to accessing grants and loans for business expansion. Most grants come with some criteria to be met. such criteria include; proof of address, proof of business commencement date, business bank statement since inception of the business, documents of business name or company registration.
Do not become and remain a business owner without document proof. Certified through copies of your application for registration, Business name certificate or certificate of incorporation, Articles of association are documents that proof your ownership of that business.
