The Limited Company Certificate of Incorporation is a fundamental legal document required for any company seeking to operate formally in Nigeria. Issued under the authority of the Companies and Allied Matters Act (CAMA) 2020, this certificate serves as the primary evidence of a company's legal existence and compliance with Nigerian incorporation requirements. It is essential for various business activities, including opening corporate bank accounts, entering into contracts, and engaging in formal business transactions. The document contains crucial information about the company's identity, structure, and registration status, making it a prerequisite for business operations, regulatory compliance, and legal proceedings. It must be obtained before a company can commence operations and remains a vital reference document throughout the company's lifetime.
