If you run a bar or entertainment business anywhere in Borno State — a bar and lounge business, a beer parlour and drinking spot, a nightclub and event lounge business, a game centre and viewing centre business, a recreation and amusement centre, an event centre and hall rental business, or a live band and entertainment services business — registering it with CAC is one of the easiest things you’ll do all year. We at Onelove Business Ventures are an accredited agent, and we handle the entire process for you — search, filing, certificate — from wherever you are. You don’t need to visit an office, stand in a queue, or step away from your bar or venue. All it takes is a short WhatsApp message with your preferred business name, and we take it from there.
Whether your business is in Abadam, Askira/Uba, Bama, Bayo, Biu, Chibok, Damboa, Dikwa, Gubio, Guzamala, Gwoza, Hawul, Jere, Kaga, Kala/Balge, Konduga, Kukawa, Kwaya Kusar, Mafa, Magumeri, Maiduguri, Marte, Mobbar, Monguno, Ngala, Nganzai, or Shani Local Government Area, the process and pricing are exactly the same. Borno’s growing towns and rising demand for relaxation spots, viewing centres, and event venues keep the bar and entertainment trade active across all 27 LGAs. A CAC certificate simply puts your existing business on paper, the way it should be. We handle the full registration for bar and entertainment businesses in Borno State for ₦35,500 all-inclusive, covering the government filing fee and our service fee together (a Limited Liability Company registration is ₦65,500 all-inclusive). The whole process runs online, and most clients have their certificate in about a week — with almost nothing required of you beyond that first message.
It really is this simple: send us your business name on WhatsApp, and we’ll handle everything else.

Business Name vs. Limited Liability Company Cost
| Business Name | Limited Liability Company | |
|---|---|---|
| All-inclusive cost | ₦35,500 | ₦65,500 |
| Personal liability protection | No | Yes |
| Documents received | Certificate + Status Report | Certificate + Status Report + Memart + TIN |
| Best for | Independent bar owners and small viewing centre operators just starting out | Larger event centres, nightclubs, or businesses seeking contracts or investment |
Most independent bar owners, viewing centre operators, and small entertainment spots just starting out find the Business Name option is more than enough to get properly registered without any extra complexity. Businesses planning to run larger event centres, manage multiple locations, or bid for corporate event and sponsorship contracts often prefer the Limited Liability Company route for the added protection and structure.
A Good Bar or Entertainment Business Deserves a Registered Name Behind It
You already know your work — the customer service, the events, the day-to-day running of the bar or venue. That’s the hard part, and you’ve handled it well. Making it official with CAC is the easy part, and it’s the kind of small, sensible step that experienced bar owners and entertainment operators take in their stride — not because they’re worried about losing out, but because it’s simply the right box to tick once a business is real. It gives you something to point to when a supplier, a landlord, or an event organizer asks, “are you registered?” — and lets you answer with a quiet yes.
