CAC Business Name Registration for Event Planning in Ogun State

Weddings in Abeokuta, corporate seminars in Ota, church programmes along the Lagos–Ibadan Expressway and festivals in the Ijebu towns all depend on someone who can pull the logistics together. If that someone is you, a registered business name is what lets your clients, venues and suppliers know who they are dealing with. Onelove Business Ventures is an accredited CAC agent. We handle the name search, the filing and the certificate for you, wherever in Ogun State your events business is based. One WhatsApp message with your business name is all it takes — we manage the rest.

The Full Breakdown of Your ₦35,500

You pay ₦35,500 once. CAC’s filing fee and our own fee are both inside it, and nothing is tacked on afterwards. Prefer to begin as a company? A Limited Liability Company is ₦65,500, also all-inclusive.

• A check that your preferred business name is available
• Reservation of the name once it clears
• Preparation and submission of your CAC Business Name application
• The CAC government filing/processing fee
• Your Certificate of Registration in soft copy
• Your Tax Identification Number (TIN)
• A CAC Status Report showing your business as active on the public register

Separate From This Registration

A CAC certificate gives your events business its legal name. These items come from other bodies, or from you:

• Printed copies of your certificate, delivered as a soft copy for you to print locally
• Approvals for the events themselves, since public gatherings, road closures and large crowds can involve state, local government and security clearances that you should confirm for each occasion
• Licensing for music and other works played or performed at your events, which falls under copyright rules
• Approvals for serving alcohol, and food-handling and hygiene standards for any catering you provide
• Hall or venue approvals, building and fire-safety requirements, if you own or manage an events centre
• State or local signage and advertising levies for banners, billboards and branded materials
• Insurance for equipment, staff and guests
• Written contracts with clients, venues and suppliers, which CAC registration does not provide
• Employer obligations, such as pension and employees’ compensation contributions, if you take on permanent staff, where they apply
• State and federal tax obligations for your business
• A business bank account, opened with your bank once the certificate is in hand
• Annual returns in the years ahead, a small separate step we can help with when it comes due

Business Name or Limited Liability Company?

For a planner, a décor and rentals business or a single hall, a Business Name usually does what you need at the start: it gives you a registered name for invoices, client deposits and a bank account. A company deserves a look once you handle larger budgets, carry expensive equipment, share ownership, or work with outside funders, because the business is then kept apart from your personal assets. Many events businesses begin with a Business Name and upgrade when the bookings and the stakes get bigger.

What to Have on Hand

1. Two preferred business names, ranked
2. One valid ID — National ID (NIN), international passport or driver’s license
3. A passport photograph
4. A business address in Ogun State, with the LGA, which can be your office, hall, store or home
5. A phone number and an email address
6. A short description of what you do, for example “event planning and coordination” or “event hall rental and decoration services”
7. For a Limited Liability Company only: the names, IDs and details of each director and shareholder

How We Get You Registered

1. Availability check: we search CAC’s public portal for your name.
2. Reservation: we hold the name once it clears.
3. Application: we complete it with your business, owner and Ogun State address details.
4. ID and photo: you upload both, and a phone picture is enough.
5. Payment: you make the one ₦35,500 payment that covers everything above.
6. Your documents: the Certificate of Registration, TIN and Status Report reach you, typically within 5–7 working days.

That’s the full extent of it on your part: send the details, make one payment, receive your certificate.

Redemption City, a Summit and a Calendar That Runs on Logistics

Ogun State hosts some of the largest gatherings in the country. The Redeemed Christian Church of God held its 74th Annual Convention from 3 to 9 August 2026 at Redemption City, at Kilometre 46 on the Lagos–Ibadan Expressway in Mowe, Ogun State. The church’s international headquarters has grown into a settlement with an estimated 200,000 residents as of 2023, according to published accounts. Further into the state, the Ogun Digital Summit, organised by Grazac, is listed for 26 November 2026 in Abeokuta. Large and small, such gatherings rely on suppliers, vendors, ushers, sound crews and planners.

None of this guarantees work to any particular business. Large conventions and summits are run by their own organisers, who decide who they engage. What a registered name does is make you a business those organisers, venue managers and corporate clients can verify, invoice and pay, which matters at every scale, from a hall booking in Ilaro to a conference in Abeokuta.

Run Sheets, Rain Plans and One Job You Can Hand Over

Your work is the sum of a thousand moving parts: the caterer who is running late, the canopy that needs a rain plan, the MC who must be briefed, the final payment that has to be chased before the guests arrive. You already carry the vendor calls, the 5 a.m. setups and the client who changes the colour scheme the night before. Getting your business registered shouldn’t be another thing on the run sheet. Once it is done, your invoices, quotations and booking confirmations go out under a recognised name, and your clients’ deposits have a proper business behind them.

Who Tends to Enjoy Working With Us

Here’s an honest picture of who this service works best for:

• You’d rather not sit with CAC’s portal between vendor calls, a venue walk-through and a run sheet that has changed twice this morning — you want the paperwork sorted while your next event stays on track.
• You’re growing beyond the occasional wedding or party — toward corporate conferences, church programmes or festival work, a rental store with its own stock, or a hall of your own — and you want a registered name to grow under.
• You want advice that matches where you are — for a growing events business that often means starting with the Business Name and revisiting the company option later.
• You like fixed prices — you pay ₦35,500 once, and the quote you were given is the final figure, filing fee included.

If that sounds close to home, message us your business name and we’ll start on it.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does CAC registration cost for an event planning business in Ogun State? ₦35,500 all-inclusive for a Business Name, the same wherever in Ogun State you operate. A Limited Liability Company is ₦65,500 all-inclusive.

What do I get for the ₦35,500? The name search and reservation, the completed CAC application, the government filing fee, your Certificate of Registration (soft copy), a TIN and a CAC Status Report.

How long does it take? Typically 5–7 working days once we have your details and payment.

Is a Business Name enough for an event planning company? For most independent planners and small teams, yes. It gives you the registered name you need for invoices, bookings and banking. Larger or shared businesses may suit a company better.

Can I register a wedding planning, décor or equipment rental business? Yes. All three are registered the same way, and you can describe the business broadly, such as “event planning, decoration and equipment hire”.

Can I register an events centre or hall? Yes. The registration covers the business name. Approvals for the building, such as safety and use of the premises, are handled separately.

Do I need permits for the events I organise? Public events can need clearances from state or local authorities and security agencies, depending on the size and location. Those are separate from CAC, so check the requirements for each event.

Does CAC registration cover music licensing at events? No. Licensing for music and other works played at events falls under copyright rules and is separate from CAC registration.

What about catering and drinks at my events? Serving alcohol and providing food can carry their own approvals and hygiene requirements. CAC registration doesn’t replace them.

Can I use my brand or social media name as my business name? You can propose it as one of your two names. Whether it can be registered depends on availability on CAC’s register, which we check for you.

Do corporate clients and conference organisers ask for CAC registration? Companies and organisations often want proof of registration before they sign a contract or pay an invoice, so the certificate is a useful document to hold. It does not guarantee any booking.

Do I need to register before taking deposits from clients? Registering lets you issue invoices and receive payments under a business name and keep business money apart from personal funds. CAC registration doesn’t govern how you handle deposits or contracts, so put agreements in writing.

I work from home and have no office. Can I still register? Yes. You need a business address in Ogun State and its LGA, which can be your home. If you’re still arranging a base, send us the address you plan to use.

Do you register businesses outside Abeokuta, in places like Mowe or Ota? Yes. We register businesses in every local government area of Ogun State at the same price and turnaround.

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

Is the TIN included? Yes. A Tax Identification Number is part of what you receive for the ₦35,500.

How is my certificate delivered, and can I get a printed copy? It arrives as soft copies on WhatsApp. You print it locally whenever you like.

Are there annual filings with CAC? Registered businesses have annual returns to file. It is a small separate step, and we can help with it when the time comes.

What if my first-choice name is taken? We check the two names you give us in the order you rank them. If neither is available, we’ll ask you for another.

Can I upgrade from a Business Name to a Limited Liability Company later? Yes. Many events businesses start with a Business Name and convert as bookings, equipment and teams grow. We can assist with the conversion.

When does a Limited Liability Company make sense from day one? When you are building a larger events company, sharing ownership with partners, or an investor or major client requires a company structure.

Do you handle any registration beyond the Business Name? The ₦35,500 covers the Business Name, TIN and Status Report as listed above. A Limited Liability Company is available at ₦65,500, and annual returns can be handled separately later.
