01 What the hub does
A filing desk,
not another dashboard.
Everything between "my customer wants to register a company" and "here is the certificate": the parts that are slow, repetitive, and easy to get wrong.
Validation before money moves
Fields are checked against the registrar's own rules (business type, classification, partnership structure, required documents), so a filing is refused at your counter, not after a transfer.
Filing and follow-up
We submit the application, track it through the registrar, answer queries and requests for documents, and record the certificate against the order.
Order and settlement ledger
Every order, transfer and confirmation in one statement, so the money you sent and the work it paid for can be reconciled months later.
02 Products
Five filings, one contract.
The form spec, the document list and the price all come from the hub, so a product change reaches your app without a release.

Ask on WhatsApp03 Settlement
You transfer.
The order starts when it lands.
No card processing, no wallet, no float. The money moves once, between two bank accounts, and the reference is the whole reconciliation.
-
1
Your customer pays you
At your price, through whatever you already use. That money never touches the hub.
-
2
You create the order
The response carries a hub reference and the exact settlement amount: the hub's wholesale price less the commission it grants you.
-
3
You transfer that amount
To the hub account, quoting the reference in the narration.
-
4
The order starts on confirmation
Until then it waits in
awaiting_settlementand nothing is filed. You are told by webhook; the console shows the same state.

awaiting_settlement
waits for the transfer, nothing is filed
Transfers without a reference
They are recorded as unmatched and asked about in the console, never quietly applied to whichever order happens to be open.
04 Integration
One endpoint, and a reference you choose.
-
Idempotent on your reference Re-sending the same
instanceRefreturns the original order instead of filing (and charging for) a second one. -
Webhooks, with the console as fallback Settled, in progress, completed, rejected, or waiting on the customer. A lost webhook delays a notification, never the work.
-
Documents stay on the hub Certificates and identification are stored outside the web root and served only to signed-in operators.

05 Questions
What platforms usually ask first.
If yours is not here, the WhatsApp button is faster than an email.
Platforms that already sell services to Nigerian businesses: fintech
apps, VTU and bill-payment platforms, business-services portals. They would
rather add registrations to their catalogue than build a filing desk.
Message us on WhatsApp. We create your tenant, issue an API key, register
the account your settlements come from, and run one order with you end to
end before you sell anything. There is no self-serve signup.
The hub publishes a wholesale price per product and grants each platform a
commission on it. You set your retail price; the difference is yours.
Settlement is the wholesale price less that commission, the same model as
airtime.
The order moves to
awaiting_customer with the registrar's
request attached. You are told by webhook, the customer sends the document
through your app, and you resubmit it against the same order, with no second
payment.
It depends on the product and on the registrar's queue. The turnaround for
each product is published in the catalogue your app reads, so quote from
that rather than from a number in a brochure.
The order is marked
rejected with the registrar's reason, and
the settlement for it can be refunded from the console. Every refund lands
in the ledger, so the books and the orders agree.
06 About
What these filings actually are.
Short answers to the two questions that bring most people here.
CAC registration in Nigeria
The Corporate Affairs Commission registers business names, private companies, limited partnerships and LLPs. A business name suits a sole proprietor or a partnership trading under a name; a limited company is a separate legal entity with directors, shares and persons with significant control. Each type is asked for differently, which is why the form spec here is per product rather than one long form.
Through the hub, a platform can offer registration without a filing desk of its own: the customer fills one form, the platform charges its own price, and the hub handles submission, registrar queries and the certificate.
What a DUNS number is for
A D-U-N-S number is a nine-digit identifier issued by Dun & Bradstreet. Nigerian businesses are asked for one by international partners, banks, procurement platforms and app stores. It is not a CAC number, and the Commission does not issue it.
Registering one needs the business profile and address, the owner's details, the CAC certificate and a status report, and the business mailbox has to stay reachable while the record is verified.
