CAC Business Name Registration for Aluminium Works in Kogi State

If you fabricate aluminium windows and doors, cut and install glass, or supply profiles and fittings anywhere in Kogi State, you can have your business registered with CAC without taking time off the workshop floor.

A Business Name registration costs ₦35,500, all-inclusive, with the CAC filing fee and our service fee included in a single amount. No portal to learn, no queue to join: your business name on WhatsApp gets things moving.

Glass Starts With Sand, and Kogi Has Plenty of It

Kogi’s geology reads like a raw-materials list for the glass and aluminium trades. A published inventory of the state’s minerals records silica sand occurring in various quantities across Kogi, with a documented outcrop near Anyigba. It also lists feldspar, including an outcrop in Ofu LGA, and dolomite at Osara. Silica sand, feldspar and dolomite are all used in glass-making. On the aluminium side, Kogi’s governor has named bauxite among the minerals covered by the state’s mining licences.

None of this means finished glass or aluminium profiles are being produced in Kogi, and most workshops still buy their materials from dealers. Raw deposits are a long way from sheet glass or extruded profiles. It does mean the state is paying attention to the materials your trade depends on, and builders, developers and suppliers increasingly want to know who they’re dealing with. A registered business name is how a fabricator or glass installer shows that there is a proper business behind the workshop.

Everything Covered in Your ₦35,500

Your ₦35,500 all-inclusive covers the government filing fee and our service fee together. It fits most fabricators, glass installers and materials suppliers who want proper registration without extra structure they don’t yet need. A Limited Liability Company is also available at ₦65,500 all-inclusive.

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

Considering 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. It tends to make sense if you take on larger building contracts, employ a bigger crew, or work with partners.

Business Name vs. Limited Liability Company

A Business Name gives you a registered trading identity to sell to homeowners, builders, shop owners and offices. Window and door work carries real exposure on site, from broken glass to measurement errors, so many owners move to an LLC once they take on larger contracts. It separates personal assets from the business, and you can start with a Business Name and convert when the time comes.

What You’ll Need

1. Two proposed business names, ranked by 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 Kogi State, indicating the LGA
5. Phone number and email address
6. Nature of business, described simply, e.g. “aluminium and glass works” or “aluminium windows and doors fabrication”
7. For a Limited Liability Company only: names, ID and details of directors and shareholders

None of this needs preparing in advance. Send what you have and we’ll match it to CAC’s requirements.

How the Process Runs

1. Check name availability on CAC’s public search portal. We handle this.
2. Reserve the name once it’s confirmed available.
3. Complete the application with your business, proprietor and Kogi address details.
4. Upload your ID and passport photograph. A phone photo works.
5. Pay the ₦35,500 all-inclusive fee in a single payment.
6. Receive your Certificate of Registration, TIN and Status Report, usually within 5–7 working days.

Your involvement is brief: a message, a payment, and then a certificate in your WhatsApp inbox.

What You’ll Need to Arrange Separately

• SON standards for building materials such as glass and aluminium profiles, where they apply to what you supply or install
• Building and site approvals that clients or developers may require for the projects you work on
• Contractor registration or prequalification if you want to bid for government or institutional jobs
• Workshop and site safety measures for cutting, handling and installing glass and metal
• Import documentation and customs clearance for profiles, glass sheets, fittings and machines you bring in from abroad
• Kogi State and local government permits for your workshop, yard or shop, and any levies that apply to your trade
• Printed copies of your certificate (delivered as soft copy; print locally whenever you like)
• Business bank account opening, done with your chosen bank once your certificate is ready
• Annual returns in future years, a small separate step we can also help with later

Measurements, Cuts, Clean Finishes: That’s Your Craft. Registration Is Ours.

A good window frame is square, sealed and slides without sticking. A good glass job is cut true and fitted without a crack. Those standards come from years of practice, and no registration agent can supply them. What we can do is take the paperwork off your plate. Once your certificate is in hand, a developer, a supplier or a bank has a registered business to deal with when your work is on site or your invoice is on the table.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does registration cost, what’s included, and how long does it take? ₦35,500 all-inclusive for a Business Name, the same across all 21 Kogi LGAs. That covers your name search and reservation, the completed CAC application, the government filing fee, your Certificate of Registration, your TIN and a CAC Status Report. It usually takes 5–7 working days. A Limited Liability Company is ₦65,500 all-inclusive.

Is a Business Name enough to run an aluminium or glass works business, even from a small workshop? For most fabricators, glass installers and materials sellers, yes. It gives you a registered trading name, and you only need a business address in Kogi State, which can be your workshop, yard or shop.

Business Name or Limited Liability Company, and when should I upgrade? A Business Name suits most people starting out. Consider the LLC when you take on larger contracts, employ a bigger crew or work with partners. You can convert later, and we can help with that.

What sits outside CAC registration? SON standards for building materials, building and site approvals clients may ask for, contractor registration for government jobs, workshop safety, import and customs paperwork, and Kogi State or local permits. Registering with CAC is the base document, and these apply separately depending on your work.

Will the certificate help me win jobs, open supplier accounts or a bank account, and do you cover all of Kogi? Many developers, contractors and suppliers prefer to deal with registered businesses, and banks ask for a CAC certificate when opening a business account. We register aluminium and glass businesses in all 21 Kogi LGAs at the same price and turnaround, and a second name ready in advance keeps things moving if your first choice is taken.
