    Yes. The ongoing SMEDAN–CAC Free Business Registration initiative is real and authentic.

    Can you get an RC number?
    It depends on the type of registration:
    If you register a Business Name (BN) under this scheme (which is what the free programme covers), you will not receive an RC number. Instead, you will receive a Business Name Registration Number (BN) and a CAC certificate.
    RC (Registration Certificate) numbers are issued to Limited Liability Companies (Ltd), not Business Names.
    So, if your goal is to obtain an RC number, this free programme is generally not for that. It is intended for Business Name registration.
    A few tips:
    Apply only through the official SMEDAN portal and avoid anyone asking you to pay for the free registration.
    If selected, SMEDAN will contact you with the next steps for your CAC registration
