The Certificate of Incorporation for Sole Proprietorship is a fundamental document required for any individual looking to establish a legally recognized business entity in Nigeria. This certificate, issued under the provisions of the Companies and Allied Matters Act (CAMA) 2020, is mandatory for sole proprietors who wish to operate their business under a registered name. It provides legal recognition, enables business operations, and is often required for opening business bank accounts, entering into contracts, and dealing with government agencies. The document includes crucial information such as the business name, proprietor's details, nature of business, and official registration number assigned by the Corporate Affairs Commission. This certificate serves as proof of compliance with Nigerian business registration requirements and helps establish the business's credibility in commercial transactions.
