We at Onelove Business Ventures are an accredited agent, and we handle the entire process for you — search, filing, certificate — from wherever you are. Send your business name across on WhatsApp, and treat the registration as good as started.

A State Betting Big on Electronics and Tech

Ekiti State is backing a $94 million Ekiti Knowledge Zone (EKZ) — a 40-hectare technology park in Ado-Ekiti, including a 20-hectare green tech precinct, funded largely through an $80 million African Development Bank loan, designed to house tech startups, research institutes and back-office operations. Separately, the state government extended a dedicated 33KV power line to the Jibmore ICT Hub and Centre of Excellence in Ikun-Ekiti, Moba LGA, to support the digital skills and device-based training happening there. None of this is a registration requirement, but it says something about the direction the state is pulling in: as more residents train on computers and devices and more tech infrastructure lands in Ekiti, demand for electrical appliances, phones, computers and the electronics that support all of it tends to grow alongside it — and a properly registered business is better placed to meet that demand formally.

Here’s Exactly What You’re Paying For

We handle the full Business Name registration for electrical and electronics businesses in Ekiti for ₦35,500 all-inclusive, covering the government filing fee and our service fee together — the option that fits most independent electronics traders and repairers 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 importing at 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

Send your business name on WhatsApp and consider it handled — that’s genuinely the extent of what’s asked of you.

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 importing at scale or with partners. See the comparison below.

Business Name vs. Limited Liability Company Cost

For most electrical and electronics businesses in Ekiti, a Business Name covers what’s needed to trade openly with customers, suppliers and importers under a properly registered name. Once you’re importing at larger volumes, running several outlets, 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.

Before You Reach Out

You most likely already have these ready:

1. Two proposed business names, ranked by preference
2. A valid means of ID — National ID (NIN), international passport, or driver’s license
3. A passport photograph
4. Your business address in Ekiti — indicating the LGA
5. Phone number and email address
6. Nature of business — described simply, e.g. “electrical appliances retail,” “electronics and phone sales,” or “electrical wiring and installation supplies”
7. If you choose Limited Liability Company instead: names, ID and details of directors and shareholders

Nothing here needs advance preparation. Send it across on WhatsApp whenever convenient, and we’ll match it to CAC’s requirements.

From Message to Certificate

1. Check name availability on CAC’s public search portal — handled on our end.
2. Reserve the name once availability is confirmed.
3. Complete the application with your business, director and Ekiti address details.
4. Upload your ID and passport photograph — a phone photo is fine.
5. Pay the ₦35,500 filing fee, a one-time payment covering everything.
6. Receive your Certificate of Registration, TIN and Status Report, usually within 5–7 working days.

Six steps, and only two of them involve you — everything else runs on our end.

Outside the Scope of This Registration

• Physical/printed copies of your certificate (delivered as soft copy; you print locally whenever convenient)
• Standards Organisation of Nigeria (SON) certification for electrical appliances and electronic products
• Nigerian Electricity Management Services Agency (NEMSA) certification, if you carry out electrical installation or wiring work
• Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) type-approval for telecoms-related devices, where applicable
• NESREA compliance for electronic waste (e-waste) handling and disposal
• Import/customs documentation, for electronics and appliances brought in from abroad
• 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

You Know the Devices — Let a Registered Name Back the Business

Running an electrical and electronics business means keeping up with new models, sourcing genuine stock, and being a dependable supplier or repairer that customers can trust with their appliances and devices. CAC registration doesn’t touch any of that day-to-day work, but it’s worth getting settled early: it’s the document that lets you open supplier and importer accounts formally, under a properly recognised business name.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does CAC registration cost for an electronics business in Ekiti? ₦35,500 all-inclusive, the same across all 16 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 an electronics trading business? Yes — for most independent traders and repairers, 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 electronics traders starting out. If you’re importing at scale or bringing on partners, the Limited Liability Company route is worth considering.

Can I register appliance sales, phone sales and repairs 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 electronics retail and device repair services.

I run a small electronics repair shop — can I still register? Yes — small and large electronics businesses register the same way. You just need a business address in Ekiti, which can be your shop or workshop location.

Do I need SON certification for the electronics I sell? Yes — Standards Organisation of Nigeria certification generally applies to electrical appliances and electronic products, and is separate from CAC registration.

Do I need NEMSA certification if I do wiring or installation work? Yes — Nigerian Electricity Management Services Agency certification applies to electrical installation work and is separate from CAC registration.

Will this certificate help me open supplier or importer accounts? Many wholesalers, distributors and importers ask for proof of business registration before setting up an 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 Ado-Ekiti? Yes — we register electrical and electronics businesses in all 16 Ekiti LGAs, at the same price and turnaround time.

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