If you fabricate aluminium frames, cut and fit glass or supply materials to building sites, we take care of the name search, the filing and the certificate, wherever your workshop or showroom is in Osun State. Send your business name on WhatsApp and consider it handled — that’s genuinely the extent of what’s asked of you.

From Ile-Ife’s Early Glass Workshops to Today’s Fabricators
Few places can match Ile-Ife’s history with glass. Excavations at Igbo Olokun, a site on the northern edge of the city, uncovered glass beads, crucible fragments and production debris. The findings, published in the journal Antiquity in 2017, place the main period of glass-working there between the eleventh and fifteenth centuries AD. The researchers say Igbo Olokun may be one of the earliest known glass-production workshops in West Africa, and their analysis indicates that many of the beads were made with materials found near the site.
Present-day aluminium and glass work in Osun is a different trade, tied to the building industry: new homes needing windows and doors, schools and offices needing fittings, shops wanting fresh frontages and partitions. Yet one thing is shared across centuries, which is that finished work travels, and the people who buy it want to know who made it. When you quote for a job, collect a deposit or deliver to a site, your client will look at the name on your invoice. CAC registration is not a permit to fabricate or install, and it doesn’t replace any building or workshop approval. It gives your business a registered name to quote, invoice and be paid under.

The Full Breakdown of Your ₦35,500
You pay ₦35,500 once for an aluminium or glass business in Osun State. CAC’s filing fee and our service fee are both included, so no extra charge appears later. If you decide to begin as a company, a Limited Liability Company is ₦65,500, also all-inclusive.
- A search confirming your business name is available
- Reserving that name for your application
- Completing and submitting the CAC Business Name application
- CAC’s government filing and processing fee
- Your Certificate of Registration as a soft copy
- A Tax Identification Number (TIN)
- A CAC Status Report showing your business is active on the public register
Business Name vs. Limited Liability Company
| 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 | Owner-run fabrication workshops, glaziers and small installation teams | Larger fabricators with partners or investors, or firms pursuing bigger building contracts |
For a workshop you own and run yourself, a Business Name generally covers the basics: a registered name for quotations, invoices, supplier accounts and your bank. A Limited Liability Company is worth considering when you take on larger projects, share ownership with partners, bring in an investor or deal with clients who expect to contract a company. Starting with a Business Name and upgrading later is a common path.

- We reserve the name once it’s confirmed as available.

Measure Twice, File Once
Your days are spent on measurements: openings checked on site, profiles cut to length, glass ordered to size and delivered with a fingers-crossed hope that nothing cracks on the way. Then comes the fitting, the sealing, the snag list and the client asking when the job will be finished. After all that, nobody wants to spend an evening working out CAC’s online portal. Registration is a job we can take over completely. Once it’s complete, your workshop has a registered name for its quotations, delivery notes and bank forms, and you can return to the cutting table.
A Good Match If…
We’re not the right fit for everyone, and we’d rather say so — here’s who usually benefits most from working with us:
- You’d rather not figure out CAC’s portal while a window frame waits to be glazed, a delivery of glass sheets needs checking or a site supervisor wants to know when the job will be ready. You want the paperwork finished while the workshop keeps running.
- You’re aiming to move beyond fitting for individual homeowners, towards estate, school or commercial building jobs, or towards opening a showroom of your own.
- You want honest advice, not an upsell. If a Business Name covers your stage, that’s what we’ll recommend.
- You want things kept simple: your details, one payment, your certificate.
If that’s the kind of service you want, message us and we’ll begin.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does CAC registration cost for an aluminium or glass business in Osun State? A Business Name is ₦35,500 all-inclusive, whatever town your workshop is in. A Limited Liability Company is ₦65,500 all-inclusive.
What comes with the ₦35,500? We search and reserve your name, complete and submit the CAC application, and cover CAC’s government fee. You receive your Certificate of Registration (soft copy), a TIN and a CAC Status Report.
My workshop is small. Does size matter for registering? No. An owner-run workshop with a few apprentices can register a Business Name, and that’s a common starting point for fabricators and glaziers.
How should I describe my business? Plain, broad wording works best, for example “aluminium and glass works” or “fabrication, supply and installation of windows, doors and glass products.” That leaves space to add new products later.
I work on client sites more than in a workshop. Which address should I use? Use the address your business operates from, such as a workshop, shop or home base, and tell us its LGA. You can still work on sites anywhere you’re hired.
Can I register fabrication and material sales under the same name? Yes. Describe both activities in your nature of business. Approvals for any other activity are handled separately.
I also do welding and general metal work. Can that go in the same registration? Yes, if you describe your business broadly. This registration doesn’t add or remove any trade-specific approvals.
Will a CAC certificate help me win building or estate contracts? Developers, contractors and institutions often ask suppliers for proof of registration. The certificate is a useful document to have, but it doesn’t guarantee any contract.
Do I need a Limited Liability Company to bid for larger jobs? Not automatically. Some clients set their own requirements for contractors, so ask what yours expects. For many owner-run workshops, a Business Name is enough to begin.
Does this registration cover SON standards for the materials I use? No. Standards compliance is a separate matter handled outside CAC registration. Check which requirements apply to your products and materials.
Can I import profiles, glass or machines with this certificate alone? No. Importing involves customs duties, Form M through your bank and any applicable standards checks, all handled separately.
Do I need a separate permit for my workshop or showroom? Possibly. Local governments and landlords may have their own requirements for premises, signage and levies. CAC registration doesn’t replace them.
Does the price differ between Osogbo, Ile-Ife, Ilesa and other towns? No. The cost and the 5–7 working day turnaround are the same across Osun State.
Can I register more than one workshop or showroom under one name? One registration covers your business as a whole. Give us the main address for the application and check any local requirements for each additional location.
Can I open a business bank account with the certificate? Yes. Banks typically ask for the certificate along with your ID and other account details.
Is the TIN included in the ₦35,500? Yes. The Tax Identification Number is part of what you receive.
What if my first-choice name is unavailable? Send a backup name and we’ll check it right away. Two or three options keep things moving.
Will I need to file anything with CAC in later years? Yes. Registered businesses file annual returns. It’s a small, separate step, and we can help when it’s due.
Can I upgrade from a Business Name to a Limited Liability Company later? Yes. Many workshops start with a Business Name and convert as projects grow or partners join. We can help with the conversion.
I’m just starting out and don’t have a workshop yet. Can I still register? You’ll need an Osun State address and LGA for the application. If you’re still arranging premises, send the address you plan to use.
