How to Organise CAC Documents for Multiple Founders
For a CAC filing with multiple founders, separate each person’s authorised details, keep one agreed ownership and role sheet, and limit access to identity files.
Organise CAC documents for multiple founders
When several founders are involved, the main risk is mixing one person’s information with another’s or submitting conflicting versions. Set up a controlled folder before anyone starts uploading files.
Build one folder per person
Give each founder a clear folder label, such as “Founder A — director” or “Founder B — shareholder”. Keep only records needed for that person in the folder. Avoid putting full identity numbers in filenames.
Confirm that each identity document is readable, current and belongs to the person named in the application. Ask each founder to approve their own particulars and provide any signature or photograph through the agreed private route. Do not reuse a signature from another document without permission.
Maintain one master instruction sheet
Create a restricted sheet with the exact legal names, contact details, intended roles and share allocations. Mark who confirmed each entry and when. Use this as the reference copy; if a founder proposes a change, update it and circulate one revised version for approval.
Before submitting, compare the sheet with the portal preview and supporting documents. Resolve spelling, date or ownership differences before payment. Keep the final approved preview, filing reference and acknowledgements together.
Limit access to people who need it. Never send portal passwords or one-time codes in a group chat.
Get the right support
Ask CredaBiz about business registration. Explain the entity type and number of founders so the team can confirm the current scope and quote.

What Happens If My CAC Name Reservation Expires?
An expired reservation should not be treated as a live entitlement to register that name. Check its current status and the available official route. Availability may change, so do not assume you can simply reuse an old approval code.
