We handle the name search, the filing and the certificate for electrical and electronics businesses across Yobe State, whether your bench is in Damaturu, Potiskum or a smaller LGA.

The Full Breakdown of Your ₦35,500

One payment of ₦35,500 covers the whole Business Name registration. CAC’s fee and our service charge are both in it, and nothing is added later. If you would rather start as a company, a Limited Liability Company is ₦65,500, also all-inclusive.

A search of CAC’s public register to confirm your chosen name is free
Reservation of the name once it is confirmed
Completion and submission of your Business Name application
CAC’s official filing fee
Your Certificate of Registration, as a soft copy

Type approval and similar requirements for phones and other telecom devices you sell, where they apply
Customs clearance and duties on electrical and electronic goods you import
Safe handling and disposal of old batteries and electronic waste, and any environmental requirements for your premises
Approvals for your shop, workshop or warehouse from the state and local authorities, plus market and local-government levies

Business Name vs. Limited Liability Company

	Business Name	Limited Liability Company
Price (all-inclusive)	₦35,500	₦65,500
Personal asset protection	No	Yes
What you receive	Certificate + Status Report + TIN	Certificate + Status Report + Memart + TIN
Works best for	Single shops, repair workshops and owner-run electrical contractors	Importers, wholesalers, firms bidding for institutional work, partners or investors

If you run a shop, a repair bench or a small installation business yourself, a Business Name usually does the job. The company route is worth weighing once you import in volume, bid for larger supply or installation contracts, share ownership, or want the business legally separate from your own money. Starting with a Business Name and upgrading later is a common path.

What to Have on Hand

Two business names, listed in order of preference
A valid ID — National ID (NIN), international passport, or driver’s license
A passport photograph
Your business address in Yobe State with its LGA, whether that is a shop, workshop or warehouse
A phone number and email address
What the business does, in a line, such as “sale and repair of electrical and electronic appliances”
If you choose a Limited Liability Company: names, ID and details of each director and shareholder

How We Get You Registered

We check your name on CAC’s public portal.
We reserve it as soon as it comes back available.
We complete the application with your business, owner and Yobe address details.
You send your ID and passport photograph, and a phone photo works.
You pay ₦35,500 once, covering everything above.
Your Certificate of Registration, TIN and Status Report arrive, generally within 5–7 working days.

Beyond that first message and a single payment, there’s nothing left for you to chase up.

Solar Mini-Grids, 33kV Lines and Why Electrical Standards Matter in Yobe

Yobe’s electricity picture shapes what electrical shops and electronics repairers sell. The state is served by the Yola Electricity Distribution Company, and power supply has had its disruptions, including an outage in Damaturu after transmission towers were vandalised. Federal and state programmes are now adding to the supply. The Rural Electrification Agency, with World Bank support, is rolling out solar mini-grids across Yobe, with a combined 29.22 megawatt-peak programme expected to serve nearly 24,000 households and businesses. Hybrid solar mini-grid projects were launched to serve Damaturu, Bade, Nguru and Potiskum. The state has also announced a $5 million World Bank grant to put rooftop solar on six hospitals and educational institutions. New connections, inverters and stabilisers all create demand for cables, breakers, meters, lights and protective equipment.

Quality is the second issue. NEMSA, established under the NEMSA Act 2015, enforces technical standards and carries out inspection, testing and certification of electrical installations, meters and instruments, and it also certifies installation personnel. SON develops the standards. In Damaturu, one shop owner blamed a high-voltage supply for destroying a refrigerator, while the distribution company’s manager pointed to the wiring. Disputes like that make good products and certified work valuable to your customers. Your CAC registration gives the business a legal name, though it does not replace NEMSA or SON requirements.

Registering Electrical and Electronics Businesses Across Yobe

The price, the documents and the turnaround stay the same in all 17 LGAs.

Grid and mini-grid towns

Damaturu — the state capital, covered by one of the solar mini-grid projects and home to Yobe State University

Bade — Gashua, one of the mini-grid project areas and the site of Federal University Gashua
Nguru — a northern trading town covered by the hybrid solar mini-grid projects

Between the Bench and the Counter

Your workday splits between the bench and the counter. A fan comes in with a burnt winding, a customer wants a stabiliser that matches their fridge, someone needs a roll of cable measured and cut, and a test meter is always somewhere other than where you left it. Then the power drops, and everyone arrives at once. Registration is the one task on this list that someone else can take off your hands. When it’s done, the business trades under a registered name that appears on receipts, supplier invoices, installation quotations and bank documents.

You’ll Probably Like Working With Us If…

We’re not the right fit for everyone, and we’d rather say so — here’s who usually benefits most from working with us:

You can’t leave the bench for a morning at CAC’s portal — between a queue of repairs, customers asking for cut cable and the lights going out mid-job, you want the paperwork finished while the shop keeps running.
You’re aiming past counter sales — from a single shop to supplying contractors and institutions, adding installation work, or opening a second outlet in another town.
You prefer being told what you actually need — if the Business Name does the job today, we’ll leave the company route for when it’s worth it.
You want things kept simple — your details, one payment, your certificate.

If that’s the kind of service you want, message us and we’ll begin.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does CAC registration cost for an electrical or electronics business in Yobe State, and what do I get? A Business Name is ₦35,500, all-inclusive, in every LGA. That covers the name search and reservation, the completed application, CAC’s fee, your Certificate of Registration (soft copy), a TIN and a CAC Status Report, usually within 5–7 working days. A Limited Liability Company is ₦65,500, also all-inclusive.

Is a Business Name enough for an electronics shop, repair workshop or electrical contracting business? For most owner-run shops, workshops and small installation businesses, yes. It gives you a registered name for trading, invoices and a bank account. Importers, wholesalers and firms bidding for larger contracts should look at the company route.

Does CAC registration cover NEMSA, SON or telecom approvals? No. Registration gives your business a legal name. NEMSA certification for installations, SON standards for products and type approval for telecom devices are separate processes, so check which ones apply to what you sell or install.

Can one registration cover sales, repairs and installation, and will it help with institutional buyers? Yes. Describe the nature of business broadly, for example sale, repair and installation of electrical and electronic goods, and one registration covers it all. Schools, offices and contractors may ask for proof of registration before buying or hiring, so the certificate is a useful document to hold. It does not guarantee any order.

Do you serve businesses outside Damaturu and Potiskum, and what happens after I register? Yes. We register businesses in all 17 LGAs, from Bade to Yusufari, at the same price and turnaround, and you can do everything by phone and WhatsApp. Afterwards you can use the certificate to open a business bank account, file annual returns each year (a small separate step we can help with), and upgrade to a Limited Liability Company later if the business grows.
