CAC Business Name Registration for Cosmetics in Ebonyi State

If you run a jewellery, cosmetics or makeup business anywhere in Ebonyi State — a jewellery and accessories shop, a custom jewellery making business, a cosmetics and beauty products store, a cosmetics wholesale and distribution business, a makeup artistry and bridal makeup business, or a skincare and handmade beauty products brand — 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 shop or a client’s makeup appointment. All it takes is a short WhatsApp message with your preferred business name, and we take it from there.

Whether your business is in Abakaliki, Afikpo North, Afikpo South, Ebonyi, Ezza North, Ezza South, Ikwo, Ishielu, Ivo, Izzi, Ohaozara, Ohaukwu, or Onicha Local Government Area, the process and pricing are exactly the same. Ebonyi’s steady demand for weddings, celebrations and everyday beauty keeps jewellery, cosmetics and makeup businesses active across all 13 LGAs. A CAC certificate simply puts your existing business on paper, the way it should be — and it’s also the document suppliers, distributors, event clients and banks will ask for. We handle the full Business Name registration for jewellery, cosmetics and makeup businesses in Ebonyi State for ₦35,500 all-inclusive, covering the government filing fee and our service fee together — and it’s the option that fits most boutique owners, makeup artists and small beauty retailers starting out, giving you a properly registered business without the extra structure many operators don’t yet need (a Limited Liability Company registration is also available at ₦65,500 all-inclusive, worth considering once you’re manufacturing your own branded products, distributing at scale, or working with corporate and institutional clients). The whole process runs online, and most clients have their certificate in a matter of days — 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.

• Annual returns filing in future years — a small, separate step we can also help with when the time comes

Business Name vs. Limited Liability Company Cost

For most jewellery, cosmetics and makeup businesses in Ebonyi, a Business Name is the natural starting point — it’s affordable, quick, and gives you everything you need to trade, invoice and open a business account under a properly registered name. If your business later manufactures its own branded products, distributes to retailers and salons at scale, or works with corporate and institutional clients, the Limited Liability Company gives you the added structure and credibility those relationships typically expect — it separates your personal assets from the business. You’re not locked in either way: many businesses start with a Business Name and upgrade to a Limited Liability Company as they grow. A CAC certificate is one part of running a beauty business — product registration, import documentation and shop permits are separate steps we’re happy to point you toward once your registration is in place.

A Good Jewellery, Cosmetics or Makeup Business Deserves a Registered Name Behind It

You already know your work — the necklace that finishes an outfit perfectly, the shade matched just right, the bride who sees herself in the mirror and smiles. 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 jewellers, beauty retailers and makeup artists 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, and often a necessary step before supplier, distributor or event deals can proceed. Customers trust you with how they look on their most important days, so it gives you something to point to when a supplier, an event planner or a bank asks, “are you registered?” — and lets you answer with a quiet yes.

3. A passport photograph
4. Your business address in Ebonyi State — indicating your LGA
5. Phone number and email address
6. Nature of business — described simply, e.g. “jewellery and cosmetics sales” or “makeup artistry and beauty services” or “cosmetics wholesale and distribution”

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does CAC Business Name registration cost for a jewellery, cosmetics or makeup business in Ebonyi? ₦35,500 all-inclusive — the same pricing across all 13 LGAs in Ebonyi State. A Limited Liability Company registration is also available for ₦65,500 all-inclusive, if that fits your business better.

Is a Business Name enough to run a jewellery, cosmetics or makeup business? Yes — for most boutique owners, makeup artists and small beauty retailers, a Business Name establishes your legal business name and is the main registration you need to start. Businesses manufacturing or importing products may also need separate product and import documentation, regardless of which structure you choose.

Do I need NAFDAC registration to sell cosmetics or skincare products? CAC registration doesn’t cover this. Cosmetics and skincare products that you manufacture or import under your own brand typically need NAFDAC registration, and products sold in Nigeria are generally expected to be properly registered. It’s worth confirming your specific requirements once your CAC registration is done.

Should I register as a Business Name or a Limited Liability Company? A Business Name is enough for many boutique owners, makeup artists and small beauty retailers just starting out — it’s the option most operators in this sector choose first. If you’re manufacturing your own branded products, distributing at scale, or working with corporate and institutional clients, the Limited Liability Company route is worth considering instead. Some suppliers, distributors and event clients set their own requirements, so it helps to know what’s expected before you register.

When should I upgrade from a Business Name to a Limited Liability Company? There’s no fixed timeline — it’s usually when a distributor agreement, a large supply deal or a corporate contract specifically calls for it, or when your business is growing enough that the personal liability protection starts to matter. Many businesses register a Business Name first and move to a Limited Liability Company once that need shows up.

Can I register jewellery, cosmetics and makeup services under one business name? Yes — a single registration covers your business as a whole. You can describe your nature of business broadly enough to include several, for example jewellery and accessories sales, cosmetics retail and makeup artistry.

I’m a freelance makeup artist or I sell from a small stall. Can I still register? Yes — freelance makeup artists, home-based sellers and small stall owners register the same way as larger businesses. You’ll just need a business address in Ebonyi State, which can be your studio, shop, stall or the address you operate from.

Will I be able to open a business bank account with the certificate? A CAC certificate is one of the main documents banks ask for when opening a business account, alongside your ID and other details. Each bank sets its own requirements, so it’s worth confirming with your chosen bank. A business account also makes it easier to receive customer, supplier and event payments.

Do you register businesses outside Abakaliki? Yes — we register jewellery, cosmetics and makeup businesses in all 13 Ebonyi LGAs, at the same price and turnaround time.

How long does registration take? Typically 5–7 working days, and there’s nothing further required from you once you’ve sent your details.

What if my proposed business name isn’t available? No trouble at all — just send a backup name and we’ll check it right away. Having two or three ready in advance keeps things moving smoothly.

Do I need an accredited agent to register? It certainly makes things easier — we handle every detail so you don’t have to learn CAC’s process yourself. We’re a CAC-accredited agent, and we take care of your entire registration from name search through certificate delivery, so all you do is send a message and wait for good news.
