How to Register Trading Names Under Your CAC-Registered Company

I recently registered a Limited Liability Company through the CAC online portal without a lawyer and received my certificate within days. I’d like to operate different businesses under my company, for example “Naijaworld Foods,” “Naijaworld Farms,” and “Naijaworld Cleaning Services,” without forming separate companies. Do I need to register each of these as individual Business Names with the CAC, or can they simply operate as trading names under Naijaworld Limited? If separate registration is required, what steps must I follow? Can it all be done directly through the CAC portal? I’d appreciate any advice or experiences you can share. Thank you!
