CAC Business Name Registration for Aluminium Works in Plateau State

Aluminium windows, sliding doors, glass partitions and shopfronts go into almost every new house, plaza and office going up around Jos, Bukuru and beyond. If you fabricate, glaze or supply these products in Plateau State, registering your business name gives your workshop a legal identity to quote, invoice and trade under. Onelove Business Ventures is an accredited CAC agent. We run the name check, submit the filing and deliver the certificate for you, whichever part of Plateau State your workshop or shop is in. One WhatsApp message with your business name is all it takes — we manage the rest.

Here’s Exactly What You’re Paying For

The ₦35,500 is one payment. CAC’s filing fee and our service fee are already inside it, so no extra charge appears later. Starting as a company is also possible, at ₦65,500 all-inclusive.

• Reserving the name once it clears
• Preparing and submitting your CAC Business Name application
• The CAC government filing and processing fee
• Your Certificate of Registration, as a soft copy
• Your Tax Identification Number (TIN)
• A CAC Status Report showing your business as active on the public register

Outside the Scope of This Registration

• Printed copies of your certificate — you receive a soft copy and can print it locally whenever you need it
• A development (building) permit from the Jos Metropolis Development Board, if you are putting up or altering a workshop or showroom in an area it covers
• Any environmental impact assessment the planning authority asks for on a commercial or industrial premises

• Standards Organisation of Nigeria (SON) requirements and customs clearance, if you import aluminium profiles, glass sheets or hardware

• Annual returns in the years ahead — a small, separate step we can also handle when it falls due

Business Name or Limited Liability Company?

A Business Name usually covers a workshop where you own the business, take your own jobs and need a legal name for quotations, receipts and a bank account. A Limited Liability Company starts to make sense when several people share ownership, when you take on larger commercial jobs where the business should stand apart from your personal assets, or when an investor or client wants a company on the paperwork. Plenty of fabricators begin with a Business Name and move up later.

Before You Reach Out

1. Two business names you would like, in order of preference
2. One valid ID — National ID (NIN), international passport or driver’s license
3. A passport photograph
4. Your workshop or shop address in Plateau State, including the LGA
5. A working phone number and email address
6. A short description of what you do, such as “aluminium windows, doors and glass works” or “glass cutting and aluminium fabrication”
7. For a Limited Liability Company only: the names, ID and details of each director and shareholder

From Message to Certificate

1. We check your name’s availability on CAC’s public search portal.
2. We reserve it as soon as it is confirmed available.
3. We complete the application using your business, owner and Plateau address details.
4. You send your ID and passport photograph — a clear phone picture works.
5. You make the ₦35,500 payment, one payment that covers everything listed above.
6. Your Certificate of Registration, TIN and Status Report arrive, normally within 5–7 working days.

Beyond that first message and a single payment, there’s nothing left for you to chase up.

Jos’s Building Rules and What They Mean for a Window-and-Glass Business

Aluminium and glass work follows construction. Every new building eventually needs someone to measure, cut and fit its windows, doors and partitions, so the rules around building in Plateau State shape your order book. Under the Plateau State Urban and Regional Planning Law 2020, anyone developing land applies for a development permit through the Jos Metropolis Development Board (JMDB), whose office is on Ibrahim Dasuki Street in Jos, and the related fees go through the Plateau State Internal Revenue Service.

In 2024, Governor Caleb Mutfwang signed Executive Order No. 003 to control the construction of buildings and vehicular traffic within the Greater Jos Master Plan, which takes in the Jos metropolis, Bukuru, Barkin Ladi, Bassa and Riyom. The order cited the indiscriminate way buildings were being erected and the prevalence of building collapse, and it requires new building projects to obtain the necessary permits. The state’s own permit guidance ties the Greater Jos area to the Jos North, Jos South, Jos East, Bassa, Barkin Ladi and Riyom local government areas.

For a fabricator, the effect is mostly indirect. The homeowners, developers and builders who hire you are working under closer permit scrutiny, and a registered business name makes it easier to be a named, traceable subcontractor with proper quotations and invoices. If you are building or altering your own workshop, the same permit process applies to that premises, and it is separate from CAC registration. Outside the Master Plan area, check with your local authorities what applies to your site.

Where in Plateau State We Register Aluminium and Glass Businesses

Whether your workshop is in the state capital or a market town a long drive from it, the price, requirements and turnaround stay the same. Here is the coverage, grouped by senatorial zone:

Plateau North — Jos and the Master Plan area

• Jos North, Jos South and Jos East — workshops, glass shops and showrooms across the capital and its neighbouring councils
• Bukuru and Vom — fabricators and dealers in the Jos South axis
• Barkin Ladi, Bassa and Riyom — workshops serving the growing communities around Jos

Plateau Central

• Pankshin and Kanke — shops and workshops across the central highlands
• Mangu and Panyam — fabricators serving the busy farming and trading communities of the zone
• Bokkos and Kwolla — aluminium and glass workers in the central council areas
• Kanam and Dengi — businesses in the north-eastern corner of the state
• Amper — workshops and shops in and around the town

Plateau South

• Langtang North and Langtang South — fabricators and glass dealers in the south-eastern part of the state
• Shendam and Yelwa — workshops in the Shendam area
• Wase and Mikang — workshops and shops in the southern council areas

If your workshop is anywhere in Plateau State, you’re covered.

Measured Twice, Cut Once — Registration Can Be Just as Tidy

You already work in millimetres. A sliding window that is a few millimetres out will not run properly, a pane cut a fraction too large will not fit the frame, and a customer who has paid a deposit will keep calling until the job is hung and sealed. Your days go on site measurements, profile cutting, glass deliveries, silicone and the last fitting before handover. Registration is one task you can lift off that list. Once it is done, your workshop quotes, invoices and banks under a registered name instead of a personal one.

You’ll Probably Like Working With Us 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’re measuring up a site in the morning, cutting profiles after lunch and chasing a handover date on a set of sliding windows by evening — you’d rather someone else handles the CAC portal.
• You’re aiming to move from fitting windows for homeowners to taking glazing, shopfront and partition jobs from builders and developers around Jos — and you want a registered name on your quotations when you bid.
• You want a recommendation that fits your size — not the biggest package by default.
• You want things kept simple — your details, one payment, your certificate.

If this describes you, we’d be glad to take the paperwork off your hands.

Questions Plateau Aluminium and Glass Owners Ask

How much does CAC registration cost for an aluminium and glass business in Plateau State? ₦35,500 all-inclusive for a Business Name, whichever part of Plateau State you operate in. A Limited Liability Company is ₦65,500 all-inclusive.

What do I get for the ₦35,500? The name check and reservation, the completed CAC filing, the government fee, your Certificate of Registration (soft copy), a TIN and a CAC Status Report.

Is a Business Name enough for an aluminium and glass workshop? For most owner-run workshops, yes. It gives you a registered name for quotations, receipts and banking. If you later add partners or start taking larger commercial contracts, you can reconsider.

Do I need a Limited Liability Company to work with builders and developers? Not necessarily. Many small fabricators work for builders under a Business Name. Some larger clients or organisations may prefer a company, so it is worth asking the client you have in mind.

Can I register my workshop and my glass shop under one name? Yes. Describe the business broadly, for example fabrication, glazing and sale of aluminium and glass materials. If the two sites are in different places, give us the main address for the application.

I only sell aluminium profiles and glass and don’t fabricate anything. Can I still register? Yes. The nature-of-business description can say you supply and sell the materials rather than make the finished products.

Do I need a building permit for my workshop in Jos? If you are constructing or altering a workshop or showroom in an area covered by the Jos Metropolis Development Board, a development permit is generally required under the Plateau State Urban and Regional Planning Law 2020. That is handled separately from CAC. Check with the board for your exact site.

Will registration help when I import glass or aluminium profiles? It gives your business a registered name, which importers usually need before dealing with agents and banks. Standards, customs and clearance requirements are a separate matter and not covered here.

Can I register more than one workshop under a single business name? One registration covers your business as a whole. Permits and approvals for each premises are generally handled per site, so confirm what applies to every location you run.

My workshop is a roadside shed or a rented shop with no street number. What address do I give? Give the clearest description you have, such as a landmark, junction or market area, along with the LGA. If you are still arranging premises, send the address you plan to use.

Do you register businesses outside Jos and Bukuru? Yes. We register businesses across all of Plateau State, from Langtang and Shendam to Mangu, Pankshin and Wase, 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 is part of what you receive for the ₦35,500.

Do I have to file anything with CAC in later years? Registered businesses have annual returns to file. It is a small, separate step, and we can help when it is due.

What if the name I want is already taken? Send a backup name and we will check it quickly. Two or three options ready at the start keep things moving.

Can I upgrade from a Business Name to a Limited Liability Company later? Yes. Many businesses start as a Business Name and convert as they grow or bring in partners. We can assist with the conversion.

When does it make sense to start with a Limited Liability Company? If you have partners, a larger crew taking on bigger commercial jobs, or an investor who requires a company structure, the LLC route is worth considering from the beginning.

Will a CAC certificate help me win jobs or get supplies on credit? Clients and suppliers sometimes ask for proof of registration before awarding work or extending terms, so the certificate is a useful document to have. It does not guarantee any job, contract or credit.
