If you run a tailoring shop, a fashion design studio, or a clothing production business in Bauchi, registering it with CAC is one of the easiest things you’ll do all year. We at Onelove Business Ventures are an accredited agent, and we handle the entire process for you — search, filing, certificate — from wherever you are. You don’t need to visit an office, stand in a queue, or step away from your clients. All it takes is a short WhatsApp message with your preferred business name, and we take it from there.
Bauchi’s steady demand for made-to-measure wear, ceremonial outfits, and everyday clothing keeps tailors and fashion designers busy across towns like Bauchi town, Azare, and Misau — a CAC certificate simply puts your existing business on paper, the way it should be. We handle the full registration for fashion design and tailoring businesses in Bauchi State for ₦35,500 all-inclusive, covering the government filing fee and our service fee together (a Limited Liability Company registration is ₦65,500 all-inclusive). The whole process runs online, and most clients have their certificate in about a week — with almost nothing required of you beyond that first message.
It really is this simple: send us your business name on WhatsApp, and we’ll handle everything else.

Business Name vs. Limited Liability Company Cost
| Business Name | Limited Liability Company | |
|---|---|---|
| All-inclusive cost | ₦35,500 | ₦65,500 |
| Personal liability protection | No | Yes |
| Documents received | Certificate + Status Report | Certificate + Status Report + Memart + TIN |
| Best for | Independent tailors and small fashion studios | Larger clothing brands, fashion houses, or businesses seeking investment |
Most tailors and fashion designers just starting out find the Business Name option is more than enough to get properly registered without any extra complexity.
A Skilled Craft Deserves a Registered Business Behind It
You already know how to run this business well — taking measurements, sourcing fabric, and delivering outfits your clients are proud to wear. That’s the hard part, and you’ve handled it well. Making it official with CAC is the easy part, and it’s the kind of small, sensible step that experienced tailors and designers take in their stride — not because they’re worried about losing out, but because it’s simply the right box to tick once a business is real. It gives you something to point to when a boutique, an event planner, or a bulk client asks, “are you registered?” — and lets you answer with a quiet yes.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does CAC business name registration cost for a fashion design and tailoring business in Bauchi? ₦35,500 all-inclusive for a Business Name, ₦65,500 for a Limited Liability Company — the same national pricing whether you’re a bespoke tailor, a fashion designer, or a uniform maker.
Can I register a specific line, like bespoke tailoring or ready-to-wear production, specifically? Yes — you’ll simply state your specific line of business, such as bespoke tailoring services or ready-to-wear clothing production, and it will be reflected on your certificate and CAC’s public register.
Do I need a fashion association or guild membership in addition to CAC registration? Not for CAC registration itself — that just establishes your legal business name. Any fashion association or guild membership is a separate step you can look into whenever it becomes relevant to your business, and we’re happy to point you in the right direction when that time comes.
How long does registration take? Typically 5–7 working days, and there’s nothing further required from you once you’ve sent your details.
What if my proposed business name isn’t available? No trouble at all — just send a backup name and we’ll check it right away. Having two or three ready in advance keeps things moving smoothly.
Do I need an accredited agent to register? It certainly makes things easier — we handle every detail so you don’t have to learn CAC’s process yourself. We’re a CAC-accredited agent, and we take care of your entire registration from name search through certificate delivery, so all you do is send a message and wait for good news.
How do I start right now? Send us a WhatsApp message with your preferred business name whenever you have a free minute. No forms, no appointment, no pressure — we’ll begin the availability check as soon as we hear from you.
