Carpentry and furniture workshops line entire stretches of Karu, Nyanya, and Kubwa, supplying homes, offices, and the steady stream of new housing developments going up across the FCT — and every one of those workshops is competing for the same customers you are. In a market this crowded, the businesses that convert a walk-in inquiry into a signed order are the ones that can point to a registered name, not just a workshop and a phone number. We’re a CAC-accredited agent, and we handle the full registration for upholstery, furniture, and carpentry businesses in Abuja 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). Wherever you’re based in the FCT — Karu, Nyanya, Kubwa, or Lugbe — the process runs entirely online, and most clients have their certificate within a week.
Don’t let the next office furniture contract or bulk residential order go to a registered competitor. Message us on WhatsApp right now and let’s start your registration today.

Every Week Without a Certificate Is a Contract You’re Not Getting
Right now, an office manager somewhere in Abuja is sourcing desks and chairs for a new floor of staff. A property developer finishing a housing estate in Lugbe or Kubwa is looking for a furniture supplier they can hold to a contract. A bank is deciding whether to finance a carpenter’s request for new equipment. In every one of these situations, an unregistered workshop simply isn’t in the running — institutional buyers won’t sign with a name they can’t verify, and banks won’t lend against a business that doesn’t legally exist on paper. Every month you delay registration is a month those bigger, more reliable orders go to a workshop down the road that already has its certificate.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does CAC business name registration cost for a furniture or carpentry business in Abuja? ₦35,500 all-inclusive for a Business Name, ₦65,500 for a Limited Liability Company — CAC’s national pricing applies the same way regardless of whether you manufacture, upholster, or retail furniture.
Can I register a furniture manufacturing or upholstery business specifically? Yes — you’ll state your specific line of business (such as furniture manufacturing or upholstery services) during registration, and it will be reflected on your certificate and CAC’s public register.
Do I need a local government permit in addition to CAC registration? CAC registration establishes your legal business name; any FCT area council workshop or trading permits are handled separately and aren’t part of this service.
Do I need to visit a CAC office in Abuja to register? No. The full process happens online regardless of which part of the FCT you’re based in.
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.
