Questions people ask
Do I already have a TIN?
Many companies registered in recent years were given a TIN with their CAC registration. We check first and only register you if you do not have one.
Which employer schemes apply to my business?
It depends on how many people you employ and your turnover, and each scheme has its own threshold. Tell us your headcount and we will confirm which registrations you need.
Will these help with tenders and government contracts?
They are usually part of what a tender asks for, along with tax clearance. Send us the list the tender gives and we will check you have everything.
