Right now, corporate clients ordering staff uniforms in bulk want a verified, registered vendor before committing. Event planners and organizations booking designers for weddings, pageants, and large events prefer registered businesses they can issue contracts to.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does CAC business name registration cost for a fashion design or tailoring business in Akwa Ibom? ₦35,500 all-inclusive for a Business Name, ₦65,500 for a Limited Liability Company — CAC’s national pricing applies the same way whether you tailor, design, or retail fashion.
Can I register a bridal wear design business specifically? Yes — you’ll state your specific line of business, such as bridal and event wear design, during registration, and it will be reflected on your certificate and CAC’s public register.
Do I need to trademark my fashion label in addition to CAC registration? CAC registration establishes and protects your legal business name for company/business purposes; trademarking your brand name or logo for exclusive fashion-label use is a separate process and isn’t part of this service.
How long does registration take? Typically 5–7 working days when the application clears on the first submission.
What if my proposed business name isn’t available? You’ll submit a backup name — having two or three ready in advance avoids losing time to a second search.
Do I need an accredited agent to register? For a professional service and result, yes — using an accredited agent avoids the errors that commonly delay applications filed independently. We are a CAC-accredited agent, and we’ll handle your entire registration professionally, from name search through certificate delivery.
