Everything Covered in Your ₦35,500

We handle the full Business Name registration for electrical and electronics businesses in Kaduna State for ₦35,500 all-inclusive, covering the government filing fee and our service fee together — the option that fits most independent electronics retailers, electrical installers and small importers 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, supplying distributors directly, 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 operating at commercial scale or bringing on partners. See the comparison below.

What You’ll Need to Arrange Separately

• Physical/printed copies of your certificate (delivered as soft copy; you print locally whenever convenient)
• Standards Organisation of Nigeria (SON) compliance for imported electrical appliances and electronics
• Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) approval, where applicable to metering or distribution equipment
• NESREA compliance for electronic waste disposal, relevant if you handle repairs or trade-ins
• SON’s MANCAP/NIS certification for locally manufactured electrical products
• Local government trading and premises permits for a physical retail shop
• 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 electrical and electronics businesses in Kaduna, a Business Name covers what’s needed to trade with households, offices and installers under a properly registered name. Once you’re importing at commercial volume, supplying distributors across LGAs, 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.

Kaduna’s Own Electronics Manufacturing Push

Kaduna’s electrical and electronics sector isn’t just a retail trade — the state has already put real investment behind local manufacturing. Kaduna Electricity Distribution Company announced plans for a $250 million smart electricity meter manufacturing plant in Kaduna, intended to supply its franchise territory covering Kaduna, Kebbi, Zamfara and Sokoto states, with local production aimed at cutting import costs on key components and creating jobs for local technicians. It builds on Kaduna’s longer industrial identity, where light manufacturing has historically included televisions alongside plastics, pharmaceuticals and furniture. Whatever the scale of your own electronics or electrical business, Kaduna is a state actively investing in local production, not just retail — and a properly registered business is the first formal step into that space.

Selling or installing electrical and electronic goods well comes down to things no registration teaches — knowing which brands actually hold up, which suppliers deliver genuine stock, and how to keep customers coming back after a sale. CAC registration is the comparatively simple part by comparison, and it’s worth getting settled early, since it’s the document that lets you open supplier and distributor accounts formally, under a properly recognised business name, rather than trading informally indefinitely.

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 Kaduna State — indicating the LGA
5. Phone number and email address
6. Nature of business — described simply, e.g. “electronics retail” or “electrical wiring and installation services”

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

How the Process Runs

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 Kaduna 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.

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

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does CAC registration cost for an electrical or electronics business in Kaduna State? ₦35,500 all-inclusive, the same across all 23 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 retail business? Yes — for most independent retailers and small installers, 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 retailers and electrical installers starting out. If you’re importing at commercial scale or bringing on partners, the Limited Liability Company route is worth considering.

Can I register electronics retail and installation 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 both.

I sell phones or electrical accessories from a small shop or stand — can I still register? Yes — small and large electronics businesses register the same way. You just need a business address in Kaduna State, which can be your shop or stand location.

Do I need SON approval for the electronics or appliances I sell? It can apply, particularly for imported electrical goods — Standards Organisation of Nigeria compliance is separate from CAC registration and worth checking based on what you import or sell.

Will this certificate help me open supplier or importer accounts? Many suppliers and distributors ask for proof of business registration before setting up a formal 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 Kaduna metropolis? Yes — we register electrical and electronics businesses in all 23 Kaduna LGAs, at the same price and turnaround time.

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.
