Why a Limited Liability Company Is Right for You

1

Personal Asset Protection

By registering as a Limited Liability Company (LTD), you safeguard your personal assets from business liabilities. You are secured in cases of business debts or legal issues.
2

Investor Appeal

Investors and partners are more inclined to invest in a well-structured business with an LTD status, as it provides better security and clear governance.
3

Easier Access to Loans

Banks, investors, and financial institutions often prefer to lend to LTDs because they are seen as more stable and secure.

Business Name vs Limited Liability Company Registration: What’s Best for You?

Business Name

  • Best for sole traders and small businesses.
  • Cannot be transferred to new owners easily. Requires re-registration.
  • You have limited protection. Another business could register a similar name elsewhere.
  • It may be perceived as less formal or professional.

Limited Liability Company

  • It is generally viewed as more credible, particularly for business deals, partnerships, or contracts with larger organisations.
  • The company name is legally protected throughout Nigeria.
  • It is suited for businesses with ambitions for growth, expansion, or operations in multiple regions or countries.
  • It is more likely to qualify for bank loans, government grants, and other financial support because of its corporate structure.
