/cac/companies
Get a Nigerian business’s record from the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) registry by its registration number (RC, BN, IT or partnership number). Returns the approved name, RC number, internal company id, classification, nature of business, registration date, status and the FIRS Tax Identification Number (TIN). If the same number exists under more than one classification, pass classification to disambiguate.

💡 AI Hint: Look up one Nigerian business by its CAC registration number (e.g. ‘148500’, accepts ‘RC148500’/‘BN…’). Returns one item with name, rc_number, company_id, classification, nature_of_business, registration_date, status and tin (FIRS Tax ID). If a number is shared across classifications, pass classification (e.g. COMPANY) to pick the right one. To find a registration number by company name, use cac/companies/search.
