If you fabricate, install or supply aluminium and glass works anywhere in Jigawa State, registering your business 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 in Jigawa. One WhatsApp message with your business name is all it takes — we manage the rest.
A State Sitting on Its Own Raw Materials
Jigawa is one of the Nigerian states reputed to have real mineral wealth still waiting on serious investment — copper, tin, iron ore, gold, trona ash and kaolin all feature among its known deposits. In December 2020, the state government confirmed it had secured 11 mining licences from the Federal Ministry of Steel and Mines and openly called on investors to come and harness those resources. For a sector like aluminium and glass works, built on metal fabrication and finishing, that’s a reminder that Jigawa isn’t only a market for finished aluminium and glass products shipped in from elsewhere — it’s a state with the underlying mineral base to eventually feed that same industry from within its own borders.

What Your ₦35,500 Covers
We handle the full Business Name registration for aluminium and glass works businesses in Jigawa State for ₦35,500 all-inclusive, covering the government filing fee and our service fee together — the option that fits most independent fabricators, glaziers and window/door installers starting out, giving you a properly registered business without the extra structure many don’t yet need (a Limited Liability Company registration is also available at ₦65,500 all-inclusive, worth considering once you’re running a larger workshop, supplying contractors directly, or bringing in business partners).
- Business name availability search
- Business name reservation
- Completion and submission of the CAC Business Name application
- CAC government filing/processing fee
- Your Certificate of Registration (soft copy)
- Tax Identification Number (TIN)
- A CAC Status Report confirming your business is active on the public register
Want the Limited Liability Company instead? For ₦65,500 all-inclusive you get everything above plus your Memorandum and Articles of Association (Memart) and personal liability protection — worth it once you’re operating at commercial workshop scale or bringing on partners. See the comparison below.
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 + TIN | Certificate + Status Report + Memart + TIN |
| Best for | Independent fabricators and installers starting out | Larger workshops taking on contracts or bringing on partners |
For most aluminium and glass works businesses in Jigawa, a Business Name covers what’s needed to take on jobs, deal with suppliers and quote for contracts under a properly registered name. Once you’re supplying building contractors directly, scaling up to a full workshop with staff, or bringing on investors, the Limited Liability Company structure tends to fit better — it separates your personal assets from the business. You can start with a Business Name and convert later.
Documents to Have Ready
You most likely already have these ready:
- Two proposed business names, ranked by preference
- A valid means of ID — National ID (NIN), international passport, or driver’s license
- A passport photograph
- Your business address in Jigawa State — indicating the LGA
- Phone number and email address
- Nature of business — described simply, e.g. “aluminium fabrication and installation” or “glass works and glazing”
- If you choose Limited Liability Company instead: names, ID and details of directors and shareholders
Nothing here needs advance preparation. Send it across on WhatsApp whenever convenient, and we’ll match it to CAC’s requirements.
The Registration Timeline
- Check name availability on CAC’s public search portal — handled on our end.
- Reserve the name once availability is confirmed.
- Complete the application with your business, director and Jigawa address details.
- Upload your ID and passport photograph — a phone photo is fine.
- Pay the ₦35,500 filing fee, a one-time payment covering everything.
- Receive your Certificate of Registration, TIN and Status Report, usually within 5–7 working days.
Six steps, and only two of them involve you — everything else runs on our end.
What Falls Outside This Registration
- Physical/printed copies of your certificate (delivered as soft copy; you print locally whenever convenient)
- Standards Organisation of Nigeria (SON) compliance for aluminium profiles, glass panels and other imported fabrication materials
- Nigeria Customs Service clearance and import duty for aluminium sheets, glass and fittings sourced from outside Nigeria
- Workshop/artisan operating permit from your LGA for a physical fabrication site
- Environmental and waste-disposal compliance for offcuts, glass waste and workshop by-products
- Site safety compliance where installation work is carried out on active construction sites
- Business bank account opening, done with your chosen bank once your certificate is in hand
- Annual returns filing in future years — a small, separate step we can also help with when the time comes

Fitting doors, windows, shopfronts and glazing to measure — and getting the finish right the first time — is a skill that takes years to build. CAC registration is the comparatively simple part by comparison, and it’s worth getting settled early: it’s the document that lets contractors, suppliers and building developers deal with you formally, under a name that’s officially yours, rather than as an unregistered artisan.
You Might Get a Lot Out of Working With Us If…
Not every registration service suits every business owner, and that’s fine — here’s who tends to get the most value from working with us:
- You’d rather have this handled than spend a working day figuring out CAC’s portal between jobs.
- You’re building toward bigger contracts — whether you’re a one-person fabricator now or aiming to supply building developers down the line.
- You’d rather hear a straight answer than a sales pitch — if a Business Name is enough for where you are, we’ll tell you that, not push the LLC on you.
- You want one message to genuinely be the whole job — no chasing paperwork back and forth, no fees that appear later.
If that’s how you like to do business, working with us should feel straightforward.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does CAC registration cost for an aluminium and glass works business in Jigawa State? ₦35,500 all-inclusive, the same across all 27 LGAs. A Limited Liability Company registration is also available for ₦65,500 all-inclusive.
What do I actually get for the ₦35,500? Your name search and reservation, the completed CAC filing, the government processing fee, your Certificate of Registration, a Tax Identification Number, and a CAC Status Report confirming you’re active on the public register.
Is a Business Name enough for an aluminium fabrication or glass works business? Yes — for most independent fabricators and installers, a Business Name establishes your legal business name and is the main registration you need to start.
Should I register as a Business Name or a Limited Liability Company? A Business Name suits most independent fabricators and small workshops starting out. If you’re taking on larger contracts or bringing on partners, the Limited Liability Company route is worth considering.
When should I upgrade to a Limited Liability Company? Usually once you’re supplying contractors or developers directly, scaling up your workshop with staff, or an investor specifically requires it.
Can I register aluminium fabrication and glass works under one business name? Yes — a single registration covers your business as a whole. You can describe your nature of business broadly enough to include both.
I run a small fabrication setup, not a full workshop — can I still register? Yes — small and large aluminium and glass businesses register the same way. You just need a business address in Jigawa State, which can be your workshop, shop or storage location.
Do I need Customs clearance for imported aluminium sheets or glass? Yes — import duty and Customs clearance apply to materials brought in from outside Nigeria and are handled separately from CAC registration.
Will this certificate help me get contracts with building developers? Many contractors and developers ask for proof of business registration before awarding supply or installation contracts, so a CAC certificate is often the first document that opens that door.
Do you register businesses outside Dutse? Yes — we register aluminium and glass works businesses in all 27 Jigawa LGAs, at the same price and turnaround time.
Your Craft Is the Hard Part — Let a Registered Name Back It
Cutting, fitting and finishing aluminium and glass to a standard clients trust isn’t something CAC registration teaches you — that comes from years on the tools. CAC registration is the comparatively simple part, and it’s worth getting settled early: it’s the document that lets you deal with contractors, banks and building developers under a name that’s officially yours.
