CAC Business Name Registration for Aluminium Works in Kano State

Every new house, shop, plaza and office going up in Kano needs windows, doors, partitions and glass, and someone has to measure, cut, fabricate and fit them. If that someone is you, with a workshop in the city or a team that goes from site to site, then a CAC registration is one of the most useful pieces of paper you can add to your toolbox. Onelove Business Ventures is an accredited CAC agent, and we take care of the name search, the filing and the certificate for you. Just your business name on WhatsApp — everything after that is on us.

The Building Rules Behind Your Work

Aluminium and glass work in Kano goes hand in hand with the state’s building control. The Kano State Urban Planning and Development Authority (KNUPDA) reviews building plans, issues development permits and inspects construction as it goes up. In August 2026, its acting head, Nura Maude, urged residents and developers to obtain building permits before construction, use qualified professionals and choose appropriate building materials rather than cut corners. Projects that follow that route have architects, contractors and site managers who need dependable fitters and suppliers, and they are usually more comfortable with a subcontractor they can identify by name, with a certificate and a TIN, than one who cannot be traced. A registered business name is a simple, low-cost way to be that fitter.

Business Name or Limited Liability Company for an Aluminium and Glass Business?

A Business Name lets you quote, invoice and accept payment under an official trading name, which is what most workshops and fitters need. A Limited Liability Company suits the point where you’re bidding for big projects, holding expensive stock or taking on partners, because it keeps your personal assets separate from the business’s obligations. You can start with a Business Name and convert later.

The Full Breakdown of Your ₦35,500

For an aluminium and glass business in Kano State, the Business Name registration costs ₦35,500 all-inclusive, with the CAC government fee and our service fee already folded into that single amount. That fits most fabricators, glass shops and small contractors, since it gives you a properly registered trading name without the extra formality of a company. A Limited Liability Company is ₦65,500 all-inclusive for the day your projects and team justify it.

• Business name availability search
• Business name reservation
• Completion and submission of your CAC Business Name application
• CAC government filing/processing fee
• Certificate of Registration (soft copy)
• Tax Identification Number (TIN)
• CAC Status Report showing your business as active on the public register

Separate From This Registration

• Printed copies of your certificate (it comes as a soft copy, which you print locally)
• Building permits and development approvals for your workshop, shop or premises, which are handled by KNUPDA
• Standards Organisation of Nigeria (SON) requirements that may apply to aluminium profiles, glass or related products you sell
• Customs clearance and duties on imported profiles, glass sheets, hardware or fabrication machinery
• Prequalification or registration for government and institutional contracts, where a project requires it
• Workshop safety practices for cutting, welding-adjacent work, handling glass and working at height
• Trademark registration if you want to protect a brand name or product label
• Shop or workshop leases, and any market association dues or levies where you trade
• Opening a business bank account, done with your chosen bank after your certificate arrives
• Annual returns filing in future years, a small separate step we can also assist with

What to Have on Hand

1. Two proposed business names, in order of preference
2. A valid means of ID — National ID (NIN), international passport or driver’s license
3. A passport photograph
4. Your business address in Kano State, including the LGA (a workshop, shop or storage yard all count)
5. Phone number and email address
6. Nature of business, in plain words, e.g. “aluminium and glass fabrication and installation” or “aluminium roofing and window supply”
7. If you choose a Limited Liability Company instead: names, ID and details of the directors and shareholders

There’s nothing to prepare beforehand. Send the details when it’s convenient and we’ll match them to CAC’s requirements.

How We Get You Registered

1. Check name availability on CAC’s public search portal — we do this for you.
2. Reserve the name as soon as it’s confirmed available.
3. Complete the application with your business, owner and Kano address details.
4. Upload your ID and passport photograph — a clear phone photo is enough.
5. Pay the ₦35,500 fee, one payment that covers everything.
6. Receive your Certificate of Registration, TIN and Status Report, typically within 5–7 working days.

That’s genuinely the whole process from your side: one message, one payment, one certificate.

You Know the Measurements. Let a Registered Name Stand Behind Them.

You can look at an opening and tell within a few millimetres what frame it needs, you know which sections hold up to harmattan dust and heavy use, and you know how to seal a pane so it doesn’t rattle loose. Paperwork isn’t part of that skill set, and it shouldn’t take time away from it. But the people who hire you, whether a homeowner, a site manager or a shop owner fitting out a new unit, tend to trust a business whose name they can verify. Registration gives your quotes, receipts and invoices that footing, and it can be the difference between a one-off job and being called back for the next phase.

Is a Business Name enough for a fabrication and glass workshop? Yes, for most fabricators, fitters and glass shops it is the main registration you need to trade under your own name.

Will a CAC certificate help me get jobs from contractors and developers? Many contractors and developers prefer subcontractors they can verify, and proof of registration is a common first request before they award work.

Does this registration cover a building permit for my workshop? No. Building permits and development approvals go through KNUPDA and are separate from CAC registration.

Do I need SON approval for the profiles or glass I sell? Standards requirements may apply depending on the product. They are separate from CAC registration and worth confirming for the items you stock.

I import profiles or glass. Does this handle customs clearance? No. Customs clearance and duties on imported materials or machinery are outside this registration.
