If you run an ICT business, a telecoms/data business, or an IT services company in Bauchi, 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 clients. All it takes is a short WhatsApp message with your preferred business name, and we take it from there.
Bauchi’s growing digital economy and steady demand for connectivity and IT support across towns like Bauchi town, Azare, and Misau keeps ICT and telecom-related businesses in steady demand — a CAC certificate simply puts your existing business on paper, the way it should be. We handle the full registration for information and telecommunication businesses in Bauchi 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 | Freelancers, small IT shops, and solo consultants | Software companies, ISPs, telecom agents, or businesses seeking investment or NCC/regulatory licensing |
Most freelance developers, small IT support shops, and independent consultants just starting out find the Business Name option is more than enough to get properly registered without any extra complexity. Businesses planning to apply for NCC licenses, bid for corporate/government contracts, or bring in investors typically need the Limited Liability Company structure instead.
A Good Tech Business Deserves a Registered Company Behind It
You already know how to deliver for your clients — the projects, the support, the uptime. 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 ICT 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 corporate client, a government contract, or a bank asks, “are you registered?” — and lets you answer with a quiet yes.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does CAC business name registration cost for an ICT or telecom business in Bauchi? ₦35,500 all-inclusive for a Business Name, ₦65,500 for a Limited Liability Company — the same national pricing whether you run a phone repair shop, a software company, or a data/airtime business.
Can I register a software development or app design business specifically? Yes — you’ll simply state your specific line of business, such as software development and mobile app design, and it will be reflected on your certificate and CAC’s public register.
Do I need an NCC or NITDA license in addition to CAC registration? Not for CAC registration itself — that just establishes your legal business name. NCC licensing for telecom/ISP operations and NITDA registration or compliance for tech and data businesses are separate steps you can look into whenever they become relevant to your business, and we’re happy to point you in the right direction when that time comes.
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.

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.
