What Your ₦35,500 Covers

You pay one price. CAC’s filing fee and our service fee both sit inside the ₦35,500, so no charge is added later. If you would rather begin as a company, a Limited Liability Company is ₦65,500, also all-inclusive.

• A check that your chosen business name is available
• Reservation of the name once it clears
• Preparation and filing of your 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 the business as active on the public register

What Falls Outside This Registration

Security and safety businesses deal with a few other bodies and requirements. These are handled separately:

• Printed copies of your certificate, which we send as a soft copy for you to print locally
• Licensing under the Private Guard Companies Act through the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, if you also offer guard or patrol services
• Standards and import requirements for the equipment you sell or install, including those of the Standards Organisation of Nigeria and the Nigeria Customs Service when you import
• Type approval from the Nigerian Communications Commission for products with wireless or telecom components
• Fire service requirements and approvals if you supply, install or service fire safety equipment
• Handling of recorded footage and personal data under the Nigeria Data Protection Act 2023, where it applies to your services
• Professional registration for engineers or technicians on your team, where your work calls for it
• Insurance for your tools, stock and work at height
• State and federal tax obligations, plus local government levies on your premises
• Opening a business bank account, done with your bank once the certificate is in hand
• Annual returns in later years, a small separate step we can help with when it falls due

Business Name vs. Limited Liability Company

If you install and service systems for homes, shops and small offices, a Business Name normally does the job. It lets you quote, invoice, buy stock on account and open a business bank account in a recognised name. A company structure starts to make sense when you take on partners, bring in investors, hold large stock, or begin competing for estate, school or corporate contracts. Many security and safety firms start with a Business Name and convert as they grow.

Documents to Have Ready

1. Two business names you would like, in order of preference
2. A valid ID: National ID (NIN), international passport or driver’s license
3. A passport photograph
4. Your business address in Oyo State, including the LGA
5. A phone number and email address
6. A short description of your work, such as “CCTV and security systems installation” or “safety equipment supply and installation”
7. For a Limited Liability Company only: the names, ID and details of each director and shareholder

The Registration Timeline

1. Name search: we check your proposed names on CAC’s public portal.
2. Reservation: the first name that clears is reserved for you.
3. Application: we complete it with your business, owner and Oyo State address details.
4. Your documents: you send a photo of your ID and a passport photograph, and a phone camera is fine.
5. Payment: you pay ₦35,500 once, covering everything listed above.
6. Delivery: your Certificate of Registration, TIN and Status Report arrive, normally within 5–7 working days.

From your side, that’s the entire process: one message, one payment, one certificate.

The State’s Own CCTV Network, and What It Means for Installers

Oyo State runs a public CCTV network of its own. According to the state government, cameras have been installed at strategic locations and linked to the Security Control Room and City Watch facility at the Oyo State Security Trust Fund headquarters in Onireke, Jericho, Ibadan. The original coverage focused on crime-prone areas such as Beere, Molete, Oke-Ado, Challenge, Iwo Road, Agodi-Gate, Ojoo, Mokola, Mapo and Sango. It was later extended to the two toll-gate areas, on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway and at the Asejiri end of the Ibadan-Ife Expressway, and it feeds the state’s Crime Alert Platform. The state has also provided security cameras under its Safe School initiative in secondary schools.

That network is government-run and separate from what private installers sell. Your customers are homeowners, shopkeepers, estate managers, schools, churches and companies that want their own protection. Because the footage and systems you handle are sensitive, clients tend to care about who is accountable for the work. A registered business name gives you a clear identity to put on quotations, warranties and service agreements. It is not a licence to provide security services and does not approve any particular installation, so confirm the requirements for the type of work you do.

Ladders, Cables and Midnight Call-Outs

A lot of your work happens above the ground. You are on a ladder fixing a camera bracket, pulling cable through a ceiling space, or testing a recorder before the client walks in. Later the phone rings with someone whose camera went offline overnight, or whose alarm keeps triggering for no reason. Between supplier runs, site visits and after-sales calls, CAC’s portal is the last thing on your list. Registering the business is a job you can hand over completely. When a client, supplier or bank asks for proof of registration, your certificate is already on your phone.

You’ll Probably Like Working With Us 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’re on a ladder in Bodija running cable while a client rings about a camera that’s gone offline, and you have no time left for a government portal.
• You’re growing from home and shop installations towards estates, schools and office buildings, or from one-off installs to ongoing maintenance contracts, and you want a registered name to grow under.
• You want a recommendation that fits your size — not the biggest package by default.
• You want a process without back-and-forth — send your details once, pay once, and there are no surprise charges afterwards.

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 a CCTV or safety business in Oyo State? ₦35,500 all-inclusive for a Business Name, wherever in Oyo State you operate. A Limited Liability Company is ₦65,500, also all-inclusive.

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

How long does it take? Usually 5–7 working days once your details and payment are in.

Is a Business Name enough for a CCTV installer? For most solo installers, small teams and owner-run equipment shops, yes. Integrators with partners, investors or large contracts may prefer a Limited Liability Company.

Does CAC registration give me a security licence? No. It registers your business name. If you also offer guard or patrol services, the Private Guard Companies Act and the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps are separate matters.

I only sell cameras and equipment and don’t install. Can I register? Yes. Describe the business as security equipment supply, and the same Business Name registration applies.

Can CCTV, alarms and fire safety go under one name? Yes. Describe the business broadly, such as “security and safety systems supply, installation and maintenance”. Fire safety work may bring requirements of its own.

Does the state’s public CCTV network affect private installers? Oyo State runs its own cameras linked to its control room, which is separate from systems installed for homes and businesses. Whether any approval applies to a particular type of job, such as work for a school, is something to confirm with the relevant authorities.

What about recorded footage and privacy? Footage of people can be personal data, so the Nigeria Data Protection Act 2023 may be relevant to how you set up and manage systems. That is separate from CAC registration, and you should confirm how it applies to your services.

I import cameras and equipment. Does that change anything? The CAC registration is the same. Imports bring Customs, SON and, for wireless products, Nigerian Communications Commission type approval requirements, which are handled separately.

I don’t have a shop. What address do I use? You need a business address in Oyo State, with the LGA. Use your home or workshop address, or the base you operate from.

Do you register businesses outside Ibadan? Yes. We register safety and CCTV businesses across Oyo State, from Oyo town, Ogbomoso and Saki to Iseyin and Ibarapa, at the same price and turnaround.

Will a certificate help me win estate, school or company clients? Estate managers, schools and companies often ask for proof of registration before awarding installation or maintenance work. A certificate is a useful document to have, but it does not guarantee any contract.

Is the certificate enough to bid for institutional or government projects? It is one of the documents usually requested, but tenders commonly ask for more, such as tax documents and relevant approvals. Those are handled separately.

Can I issue invoices and warranties under my business name? Yes. Once registered, you can quote, invoice, sign service agreements and issue warranties in the registered name.

I already trade informally. Can I still register? Yes. You can register at any point, and many installers register after they have started taking jobs.

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

Is the TIN included? Yes. A Tax Identification Number is part of what you get for the ₦35,500.

What if my first-choice name is taken? Send another and we will check it straight away. Having two or three options ready keeps things moving.

How do I receive my certificate? As a soft copy on WhatsApp. Print it locally whenever you need a hard copy.

When does a Limited Liability Company make sense for a security business? If you are setting up with partners, an investor expects a company structure, or you plan to compete for large site contracts, a company may be worth considering from day one.

Can I upgrade from a Business Name to a Limited Liability Company later? Yes. Many security and safety firms begin with a Business Name and convert as they grow. We can assist with the conversion.

Do I need to file anything with CAC after registration? Registered businesses file annual returns. It is a small, separate step, and we can help with it when it falls due.
