If you run an agriculture, forestry, fishing, or farming business anywhere in Borno State — a crop farming and produce trading business, a livestock and poultry farming business, a fish farming and fisheries business, a farm produce processing and storage business, an agro-input and farm equipment supply business, a timber and forestry products business, or an irrigation and farm services business — 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 farm or business. All it takes is a short WhatsApp message with your preferred business name, and we take it from there.
Whether your business is in Abadam, Askira/Uba, Bama, Bayo, Biu, Chibok, Damboa, Dikwa, Gubio, Guzamala, Gwoza, Hawul, Jere, Kaga, Kala/Balge, Konduga, Kukawa, Kwaya Kusar, Mafa, Magumeri, Maiduguri, Marte, Mobbar, Monguno, Ngala, Nganzai, or Shani Local Government Area, the process and pricing are exactly the same. Borno’s fertile farmlands, Lake Chad fisheries, and rebuilding rural economy keep the agriculture, forestry, fishing, and farming trade active across all 27 LGAs. A CAC certificate simply puts your existing business on paper, the way it should be. We handle the full registration for agriculture, forestry, fishing, and farming businesses in Borno 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.

Business Name vs. Limited Liability Company Cost
| Business Name | Limited Liability Company | |
|---|---|---|
| All-inclusive cost | ₦35,500 | ₦65,500 |
| Personal liability protection | No | Yes |
| Documents received | Certificate + Status Report | Certificate + Status Report + Memart + TIN |
| Best for | Independent farmers, small fish and livestock businesses just starting out | Larger agro-processing companies, farm produce exporters, or businesses seeking contracts or investment |
Most independent farmers, fish sellers, and small livestock businesses just starting out find the Business Name option is more than enough to get properly registered without any extra complexity. Businesses planning to process and package produce at scale, supply institutions, or bid for government and NGO agricultural contracts often prefer the Limited Liability Company route for the added protection and structure.
A Good Agriculture or Farming Business Deserves a Registered Name Behind It
You already know your work — the planting, the rearing, the harvesting, the day-to-day running of the farm or business. 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 farmers and agribusiness owners 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 buyer, an NGO, or a government agency asks, “are you registered?” — and lets you answer with a quiet yes.
