The Federal Government has launched a nationwide programme to provide free registration for 250,000 Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) under the joint initiative of the Small and Medium Enterprises Development Agency of Nigeria (SMEDAN) and the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC).
Approved by President Bola Tinubu, the scheme is designed to eliminate the financial burden of business registration for eligible nano, micro and small businesses, thereby encouraging more entrepreneurs to participate in Nigeria’s formal economy.
Under the programme, successful applicants will receive free Business Name registration through the CAC, with the Federal Government covering all statutory fees. In addition, beneficiaries will gain access to technical training, business development support, and opportunities aimed at strengthening sustainability and growth.
The Presidency announced the initiative during the 8th National MSME Awards held at the State House, Abuja, on June 27.
