Aluminium doors, sliding windows, glass partitions, mirrors and shower screens are among the first things a client notices in a finished building, and the person who fits them is judged on measurements, clean edges and whether the job was delivered when promised. A registered business name makes that reputation easier to carry from one site to the next. Onelove Business Ventures is an accredited CAC agent, and we handle the name search, the filing and the certificate for aluminium and glass businesses anywhere in Niger State. Send your business name on WhatsApp and consider it handled β that’s genuinely the extent of what’s asked of you.

Here’s Exactly What You’re Paying For
Your β¦35,500 is a single payment for an aluminium or glass business in Niger State. CAC’s filing fee and our service fee are both inside it, so no charges appear afterwards. If you would like to start as a company instead, a Limited Liability Company costs β¦65,500, also all-inclusive.
- A check that your preferred business name is available
- Reservation of the name once it’s cleared
- Preparation and submission of the CAC Business Name application
- The CAC government filing and processing fee
- Your Certificate of Registration (soft copy)
- A Tax Identification Number (TIN)
- A CAC Status Report showing that your business is active on the public register
Outside the Scope of This Registration
A CAC certificate gives your business its legal name. In this trade, several other things are handled separately:
- Product standards from the Standards Organisation of Nigeria (SON), where they apply to aluminium profiles, glass or accessories you sell
- Customs and import documentation, if you bring in profiles, glass sheets, hinges, handles or machines from abroad
- Contractor registration or prequalification with government offices, developers or companies that award building and fitting work
- Workshop, shop or industrial-use permits from your local government area
- Workplace safety arrangements for cutting, glass handling and fabrication, including protective equipment and any insurance you choose to carry
- Power, cutting machines and workshop equipment
- State and federal tax obligations that apply to fabricators and contractors
- Opening a business bank account with your chosen bank once the certificate is ready
- Annual returns in later years, a small separate step we can help with
- A printed copy of your certificate, since it arrives as a soft copy and can be printed at any local business centre
Business Name vs. Limited Liability Company
| Business Name | Limited Liability Company | |
|---|---|---|
| All-inclusive cost | β¦35,500 | β¦65,500 |
| Personal liability protection | No | Yes |
| Documents received | Certificate + Status Report + TIN | Certificate + Status Report + Memart + TIN |
| Best for | Owner-run workshops, glass shops and fitters working alone or with a few hands | Larger fabricators, contractors bidding for sizeable jobs, and businesses with partners or investors |
A Business Name suits most workshop owners who take jobs from homeowners, shops and small offices. It gives you a legal name for quotations, invoices and a bank account. A Limited Liability Company is more suitable if you carry heavy stock, take on large installation contracts, share ownership, or bring in investors, because the company then stands apart from your personal assets. Plenty of fabricators begin with a Business Name and upgrade when the jobs get bigger.
Niger State Is Building, and Every Building Needs Windows
The Niger State Government has announced a good deal of construction. It has spoken of a housing programme across low-cost, medium and high-earner categories with a target of 1,000 between 2024 and 2025, and of a new secretariat complex with more than 5,000 offices, and it has broken ground on remodelling the Secretary to the State Government’s complex in Minna. Leadership newspaper reported the governor’s statement that 520 units of mixed bungalows, high-rise and duplex homes were under construction at Tutungo, on the MinnaβSuleja road, and that the state wanted to speed up completion of a five-star hotel in Minna. Progress on any project can vary, and not every announcement becomes a finished building.
Still, houses, offices and hotels of that kind need doors, windows, glazing, partitions and fittings, and the work is often carried out by local fabricators working for contractors and developers. Those firms commonly want to know who they’re dealing with before they award work or pay deposits. A registered business name doesn’t guarantee a contract, and it doesn’t replace any contractor registration they may require. It does give you a legal name to quote, invoice and be paid under, which most larger buyers will expect.
What a Day of Glass and Aluminium Actually Looks Like
A site measurement in the morning. Profiles cut and checked against the drawing by noon. A glass delivery that has to be handled carefully, then installed before the client’s inspection. Dust, noise, offcuts and the risk of one wrong measurement turning into a broken pane. Nobody working in this trade has a quiet hour to give to a government website, and nobody should have to. Leave the registration with us, and when the certificate arrives, your quotations, invoices and bank paperwork carry a registered name next to your workmanship.

Who This Service Suits Best
We’re not the right fit for everyone, and we’d rather say so β here’s who usually benefits most from working with us:
- You spend your days between site measurements, cutting profiles and a glass delivery waiting to be fitted. There’s no gap in that routine for CAC’s portal.
- You’re hoping to grow from doors and windows for individual homes to supplying estate developers, fitting out offices and hotels, or stocking profiles for other fabricators. You want a registered name to build on.
- You want honest advice, not an upsell β if a Business Name covers your stage, that’s what we’ll recommend.
- You’d rather not chase anyone β one message starts it, and the price you’re quoted is the price you pay.
If this describes you, we’d be glad to take the paperwork off your hands.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does CAC registration cost for an aluminium or glass business in Niger State? β¦35,500 all-inclusive for a Business Name, wherever your workshop is in the state. A Limited Liability Company is β¦65,500, also all-inclusive.
What does the β¦35,500 cover? The name search and reservation, the completed CAC application, the government filing fee, your Certificate of Registration (soft copy), your TIN and a CAC Status Report.
I run a small workshop with a few workers. Can I register? Yes. A one-room workshop and a larger fabrication yard are registered the same way. You need an address in Niger State and its LGA.
Do glass and mirror shops register the same way? Yes. The price, documents and process are identical. Describe the nature of business as glass and mirror works or whatever matches what you do.
Can I register aluminium works and glass works under one name? Yes. Describe the business broadly, for example “aluminium and glass works, fabrication and installation”, so the registration covers everything you offer.
Is a Business Name enough for a fabrication workshop? For most owner-run workshops, yes. A Limited Liability Company is worth considering if you have partners, hold large stock or bid for big contracts.
I mostly work as a subcontractor for builders. Can I still register? Yes. Subcontractors register the same way. A registered name helps when a main contractor asks for your details or pays you through a bank.
Does CAC registration make me an approved contractor with the government? No. Contractor registration or prequalification is done with the specific office or agency that awards work. Your CAC registration gives you the business name to apply under.
Will the certificate help me win work from developers and estate managers? Developers and managers often ask for proof of registration before awarding work or paying deposits, so the certificate is a useful document to have. It doesn’t guarantee any job.
Does the registration cover SON standards for my materials? No. Product standards are handled by SON and are separate from CAC.
I import profiles or glass. Does the registration cover that? The registration gives you the business name. Customs clearance and import documentation are separate and not included.
Does it replace a workshop permit from my local government? No. Local permits and levies are separate from CAC.
Does CAC registration cover worker safety or insurance? No. Safety arrangements and any insurance you choose to carry are handled outside CAC, and aren’t part of our service.
Do you register businesses outside Minna and Suleja? Yes. We cover all of Niger State, from Borgu and Kontagora to Bida and Mokwa, at the same price and turnaround.
Can I open a business bank account with the certificate? Yes. A CAC certificate is one of the main documents banks ask for, along with your ID and other details.
Is the TIN included? Yes. A Tax Identification Number comes with the β¦35,500.
Do I need to file anything with CAC in later years? Registered businesses file annual returns. It’s a small, separate step, and we can help when it’s due.
What if my first-choice business name is taken? Send a second or third name and we’ll check them straight away. Having backups ready keeps things moving.
Can I switch from a Business Name to a Limited Liability Company later? Yes. Many fabricators start with a Business Name and convert as jobs and staff grow. We can help with the conversion.
When does it make sense to start with a Limited Liability Company? If you’re building a larger fabrication business, sharing ownership, or an investor wants a company structure, the company route is worth considering from the start.
I don’t have a workshop address yet. Can I still register? You need a business address in Niger State, including the LGA, for the application. If you’re still finding a space, send the address you plan to use.
I supply profiles and accessories but don’t fabricate. Can I register? Yes. Describe the business as supply and sale of aluminium profiles, glass and accessories, and we’ll file it that way.
