Here’s Exactly What You’re Paying For

We handle the full Business Name registration for jewelry, cosmetics and makeup businesses in Gombe for ₦35,500 all-inclusive, covering the government filing fee and our service fee together — the option that fits most independent jewelry sellers, cosmetics traders and makeup artists starting out, giving you a properly registered business without the extra structure many don’t yet need (a Limited Liability Company registration is also available at ₦65,500 all-inclusive, worth considering once you’re supplying at wholesale scale or bringing in business partners).

• Business name availability search
• Business name reservation
• Completion and submission of the CAC Business Name application
• CAC government filing/processing fee
• Your Certificate of Registration (soft copy)
• Tax Identification Number (TIN)
• A CAC Status Report confirming your business is active on the public register

Want the Limited Liability Company instead? For ₦65,500 all-inclusive you get everything above plus your Memorandum and Articles of Association (Memart) and personal liability protection — worth it once you’re supplying at wholesale scale or partners. See the comparison below.

Outside the Scope of This Registration

• Physical/printed copies of your certificate (delivered as soft copy; you print locally whenever convenient)
• NAFDAC registration, required for cosmetics and makeup products sold under a brand name
• Trademark registration, if you’re building a jewelry or beauty brand you want to protect
• Mining Cadastre Office permit, if you extract or mine gemstones yourself rather than only trading in finished pieces
• Import documentation, for jewelry, cosmetics or beauty products sourced from outside Nigeria
• Health and hygiene compliance for beauty services involving skin contact
• Business bank account opening, done with your chosen bank once your certificate is in hand
• 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 jewelry, cosmetics and makeup businesses in Gombe, a Business Name covers what’s needed to trade with individual customers and event clients under a properly registered name. Once you’re supplying at wholesale scale, running a beauty studio with multiple staff, or bringing on investors, the Limited Liability Company structure tends to fit better — it separates your personal assets from the business. You can start with a Business Name and convert later.

A Little-Known Gemstone Source Right in the State

Gombe’s connection to jewelry runs deeper than most people realise. GIA’s own Gems & Gemology journal has documented natural sapphires mined from artisanal, alluvial deposits in Gombe and the neighbouring Antang area of northern Nigeria — mostly yellow sapphires, with some blue and bicolour stones turning up alongside them. It’s a far less publicised source than Nigeria’s better-known Mambilla Plateau sapphire deposits, but a genuine one, mined from basement-complex and sedimentary rock formations near volcanic activity in the area. For a jewelry business in Gombe, that’s a quiet but real link between the ground under the state and the gemstones that eventually reach a jeweller’s display case.

You Know What Catches the Eye — Let a Registered Name Back the Business

Running a jewelry, cosmetics or makeup business means staying current with what clients want, sourcing pieces and products they can trust, and delivering a finish that holds up under scrutiny. CAC registration is the comparatively simple part, and it’s worth getting settled early: it’s the document that lets you open supplier accounts with wholesalers and importers formally, under a properly recognised business name.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does CAC registration cost for a jewelry or cosmetics business in Gombe? ₦35,500 all-inclusive, the same across all 11 LGAs. A Limited Liability Company registration is also available for ₦65,500 all-inclusive.

What do I actually get for the ₦35,500? Your name search and reservation, the completed CAC filing, the government processing fee, your Certificate of Registration, a Tax Identification Number, and a CAC Status Report confirming you’re active on the public register.

Is a Business Name enough to run a jewelry or cosmetics business? Yes — for most independent sellers and makeup artists, a Business Name establishes your legal business name and is the main registration you need to start.

Should I register as a Business Name or a Limited Liability Company? A Business Name suits most independent jewelry sellers, cosmetics traders and makeup artists starting out. If you’re supplying at wholesale scale or bringing on partners, the Limited Liability Company route is worth considering.

When should I upgrade to a Limited Liability Company? Usually once you’re running a beauty studio with several staff, distributing at wholesale scale, or an investor specifically requires it.

Can I register jewelry sales, cosmetics retail 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 jewelry retail and beauty services.

I sell jewelry or cosmetics on a small scale — can I still register? Yes — small and large jewelry and cosmetics businesses register the same way. You just need a business address in Gombe, which can be your shop or home-based studio.

Do I need NAFDAC registration for the cosmetics I sell? Yes — NAFDAC registration is required for cosmetics and makeup products sold under a brand name, and it’s separate from CAC registration.

Do I need a mining permit if I source gemstones directly? Yes, if you’re extracting rather than only trading in finished pieces — a permit from the Mining Cadastre Office is required, separate from CAC registration.

Will this certificate help me open accounts with cosmetics and jewelry wholesalers? Many wholesalers, importers and distributors ask for proof of business registration before setting up a supply account, so a CAC certificate is often the first document that opens that door.

Can I open a business bank account with the certificate? Yes — a CAC certificate is one of the main documents banks ask for when opening a business account, alongside your ID and other details.

Do you register businesses outside Gombe town? Yes — we register jewelry, cosmetics and makeup businesses in all 11 Gombe LGAs, at the same price and turnaround time.

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

What if my proposed business name isn’t available? Just send a backup name and we’ll check it right away. Having two or three ready in advance keeps things moving smoothly.

Does registering protect my business’s brand name or logo? No — CAC registration protects your business name from being taken by someone else at CAC, but trademark protection for a logo or brand is a separate process.

Do I need special import documentation for jewelry or cosmetics I stock? Yes — importing jewelry, cosmetics or beauty products from outside Nigeria involves separate customs documentation and, depending on the product, NAFDAC clearance.

Can I convert my Business Name registration to a Limited Liability Company later? Yes — many jewelry and cosmetics businesses start with a Business Name and convert once volumes or partnerships grow; we can assist with that conversion when the time comes.

Is a shop or studio required before I register? No — CAC registration doesn’t require proof of a shop or studio. You can register first and arrange your premises as your business grows.

Do I need hygiene compliance if I offer makeup application services? Yes — health and hygiene compliance for services involving direct skin contact is separate from CAC registration, and it matters more as your client base grows.

Can I combine a jewelry retail business with a makeup artistry service under one name? Yes — a single registration covers your business whether you sell jewelry, offer beauty services, or both.

Is there a minimum scale required to register a jewelry or cosmetics business? No — CAC registration doesn’t set a minimum scale. You can register while starting small and grow from there.

Do I need to register separately for gemstone trading versus finished jewelry retail? No — a single registration can cover both if you describe your nature of business broadly enough to include them.

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.
