CAC Business Name Registration for Accommodation Business in Bauchi State

If you run a hotel, a guest house, or a short-let accommodation business in Bauchi, registering it with CAC is one of the easiest things you’ll do all year. We at Onelove Business Ventures are an accredited agent, and we handle the entire process for you — search, filing, certificate — from wherever you are. You don’t need to visit an office, stand in a queue, or step away from your guests. All it takes is a short WhatsApp message with your preferred business name, and we take it from there.

Bauchi’s steady mix of commercial activity, government presence, and travel through towns like Bauchi town, Azare, and Misau keeps demand consistent for hotels, guest houses, and short-let apartments — a CAC certificate simply puts your existing business on paper, the way it should be. We handle the full registration for accommodation businesses in Bauchi State for ₦35,500 all-inclusive, covering the government filing fee and our service fee together (a Limited Liability Company registration is ₦65,500 all-inclusive). The whole process runs online, and most clients have their certificate in about a week — with almost nothing required of you beyond that first message.

It really is this simple: send us your business name on WhatsApp, and we’ll handle everything else.

What’s Included in the ₦35,500

• Business name availability search
• Business name reservation
• Completion and submission of the CAC application
• CAC government filing/processing fee
• Your Certificate of Registration (soft copy)
• A CAC Status Report confirming your business is active on the public register

What’s Not Usually Included

• Physical/printed copies of your certificate (delivered as soft copy; you print locally whenever convenient)
• Tax Identification Number (TIN) registration for Business Names (included automatically for Limited Liability Companies at ₦65,500)
• State hospitality/tourism board permits and hotel operating licenses, for those who need them (handled separately, whenever you’re ready for them)
• Annual returns filing in future years — a small, separate step we can also help with when the time comes

Business Name vs. Limited Liability Company Cost

Most guest house owners and short-let operators just starting out find the Business Name option is more than enough to get properly registered without any extra complexity.

A Good Host Deserves a Registered Business Behind Them

You already know how to run a welcoming property — the guests, the bookings, the day-to-day upkeep. That’s the hard part, and you’ve handled it well. Making it official with CAC is the easy part, and it’s the kind of small, sensible step that experienced hosts take in their stride — not because they’re worried about losing out, but because it’s simply the right box to tick once a business is real. It gives you something to point to when a corporate client, a booking platform, or an event planner asks, “are you registered?” — and lets you answer with a quiet yes.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does CAC business name registration cost for an accommodation business in Bauchi? ₦35,500 all-inclusive for a Business Name, ₦65,500 for a Limited Liability Company — the same national pricing whether you run a hotel, a short-let apartment, or a guest house.

Can I register a short-let or Airbnb-style accommodation business specifically? Yes — you’ll simply state your specific line of business, such as short-let apartment management or homestay rentals, and it will be reflected on your certificate and CAC’s public register.

Do I need a hospitality or tourism board permit in addition to CAC registration? Not for CAC registration itself — that just establishes your legal business name. Any state hospitality/tourism board permits or hotel operating licenses are separate steps you can look into whenever they become relevant to your business, and we’re happy to point you in the right direction when that time comes.

How long does registration take? Typically 5–7 working days, and there’s nothing further required from you once you’ve sent your details.

What if my proposed business name isn’t available? No trouble at all — just send a backup name and we’ll check it right away. Having two or three ready in advance keeps things moving smoothly.

Do I need an accredited agent to register? It certainly makes things easier — we handle every detail so you don’t have to learn CAC’s process yourself. We’re a CAC-accredited agent, and we take care of your entire registration from name search through certificate delivery, so all you do is send a message and wait for good news.

How do I start right now? Send us a WhatsApp message with your preferred business name whenever you have a free minute. No forms, no appointment, no pressure — we’ll begin the availability check as soon as we hear from you.
