/cac/companies/search
Search the Nigeria Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) registry by company name, RC number or AV code, optionally restricted to a business classification. Returns each match’s approved name, RC number, internal company id, classification (business name, company, incorporated trustee or partnership), nature of business, registration date and status.
Price: 1 credit
💡 AI Hint: Search Nigerian businesses in the CAC registry by name (e.g. ‘DANGOTE’). Set search_type to RC_NUMBER for an exact RC number, AV_CODE for an availability code, or APPROVED_NAME for an exact name. Optionally pass classification to narrow by entity type. Returns name, rc_number, company_id, classification, nature_of_business, registration_date and status. Feed rc_number into cac/companies for the full record with tax id.
