Windows that slide smoothly, doors that close properly, glass cut to the millimetre and roofing that survives the rains are what a good aluminium and glass workshop is known for.

Roofing Sheets from Potiskum: Yobe’s Own Aluminium Supply

Yobe has its own aluminium manufacturer. The Yobe Sahel Aluminium Company, which is located in Potiskum, restarted full production after a decade of dormancy, according to its General Manager, following a ₦97 million approval from the state governor. The company reported buying generators and corrugating machines, with further machines and raw materials still expected from China. It said it had supplied more than 3,600 metres of roofing sheets to a general hospital and 9,000 square metres for a proposed NYSC camp under rehabilitation. The company has since featured in the state’s industrial revival plans, and it exhibited its products at the 15th Northeast Joint Domestic Trade Fair in Bauchi in 2024.

For fabricators, glaziers and roofing installers, a local source of aluminium sheet is one more reason to be set up properly. When contractors, hospitals and public projects look for suppliers and installers, they tend to want a registered business they can write a contract with. A CAC registration gives you that legal name, though it does not certify the quality of your products, which stays a matter of standards, workmanship and what your customers see on site.

The Full Breakdown of Your ₦35,500

The ₦35,500 is one payment for the entire Business Name registration. CAC’s fee and our service charge are already inside it, so nothing is added once you have paid. A Limited Liability Company, if you would rather begin that way, is ₦65,500, all-inclusive.

• Your Certificate of Registration, as a soft copy
• Your Tax Identification Number (TIN)
• A CAC Status Report confirming the business is active on the public register

Business Name vs. Limited Liability Company

If you run a workshop or a glass shop yourself, a Business Name usually gives you the legal name you need for quotations, invoices and a bank account. The company route is worth considering once you take on partners or investors, bid for larger glazing or roofing contracts, or want the business legally separate from your own assets. Many workshops start with a Business Name and upgrade later.

Measure Twice, Cut Once, File Once

Your work depends on precision. The opening has to be measured, the glass cut, the frame squared and the silicone applied before the customer comes to look. Add a site where the installation can’t wait, a cutting machine that needs steady power, and the risk of one slip breaking a pane, and your hours are already full. Registration is the one job here that you can hand to someone else completely. When it is done, your workshop trades under a registered name that appears on quotations, supply invoices, site paperwork and bank documents.

A Good Match If…

Not every registration service is the right match for every business owner, and that’s fine — here’s who tends to get the most out of working with us:

• You can’t leave the workshop for a morning at CAC’s portal — between measuring openings, cutting glass and a site that can’t wait, you want the paperwork finished while the work carries on.
• You’re aiming past household jobs — from windows and doors for homes to supplying building contractors, shopfronts, larger glazing and roofing contracts, or a second workshop.
• 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 sounds like you, send your business name and we’ll get started.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does CAC registration cost for an aluminium or glass works business in Yobe State? A Business Name is ₦35,500, all-inclusive, in every LGA. A Limited Liability Company is ₦65,500, also all-inclusive.

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

How long does it take? Usually 5–7 working days.

Is a Business Name enough for a fabrication workshop or glass shop? For most owner-run workshops, glass shops and installers, yes. It gives you a registered name for quotations, invoices and a bank account.

Can I register aluminium fabrication, glass work and roofing under one name? Yes. Describe the nature of business broadly, for example aluminium and glass works, and one registration covers the business as a whole.

Do I need approval before I can fabricate or sell aluminium and glass? CAC registration gives the business a legal name only. Product standards and any other approvals are handled separately, so check what applies to your materials and work.

I import aluminium profiles or glass. Does the registration cover that? No. Importing involves customs clearance and duties, which are separate from CAC. Registration gives you the legal name you operate under.

Will a CAC certificate help me win contractor or institutional work? Contractors, offices and institutions may ask for proof of registration before awarding work, so the certificate is a useful document to hold. It does not guarantee any contract.

I both fabricate and sell materials. Can I register both? Yes. Fabricators, suppliers and installers register the same way, and one description can cover all of it.

Can a roofing or ceiling installer register? Yes. Installers of roofing sheets, ceilings and cladding register like any other aluminium works business.

I work mostly on customer sites and have no workshop. Can I register? Yes. You need a Yobe State address and its LGA for the application. A home or shop address works.

Can I open a business bank account with the certificate? Yes. It is one of the main documents banks ask for, along with your ID and other details.

Is the TIN included? Yes. Your Tax Identification Number is part of the ₦35,500.

What if my first business name is taken? Send a backup name and we’ll check it straight away. Two or three options ready keeps things moving.

Do you register businesses outside Damaturu and Potiskum? Yes. We register businesses in all 17 LGAs, from Bade to Yusufari, at the same price and turnaround.

Can I do everything from my phone? Yes. You send your details and a photo of your ID by message, and the certificate comes back on WhatsApp as a soft copy you print locally.

My workshop isn’t set up yet. Can I register? You need a Yobe State address and its LGA for the application. If you are still arranging premises, send the address you plan to use.

I’ve traded under a shop sign for years. Can I register that name? If it is available on CAC’s register, yes. Send it as your first choice and we’ll check it.

Can two of us start a workshop together? Yes. Tell us who the owners are. If you share ownership or bring in outside money, the Limited Liability Company is often the better fit.

I work alone with a couple of apprentices. Is a Business Name enough? For most one-owner workshops, yes. A company becomes worth considering if you add partners, investors or much larger contracts.

Do I have to file anything with CAC afterwards? Registered businesses file annual returns. It is a small, separate step, and we can help when the time comes.

Can I upgrade from a Business Name to a Limited Liability Company later? Yes. Many workshops start with a Business Name and convert as they grow, and we can assist with the conversion.

When should I start with a Limited Liability Company instead? If you are going into business with partners, an investor expects a company structure, or you plan to bid for larger glazing, roofing or supply contracts, the company route is worth considering from day one.

Is it worth registering a small workshop? If you want a legal name for quotations, a bank account for your income or a document to show contractors and institutional clients, registration is worth doing early.
