Every Week Without a Certificate Is a Contract Going Somewhere Else
Right now, corporate clients and hotels furnishing new offices or facilities want a verified, registered vendor before signing a furniture supply contract. Event centers and hospitality businesses sourcing bulk furniture typically require a registered business to raise a purchase order. Real estate developers and property managers furnishing new buildings and serviced apartments prefer contractors they can formally contract for carpentry and interior woodwork. Every month you delay registration is a month those contracts go to a competitor who’s already registered.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does CAC business name registration cost for an upholstery, furniture, or carpentry 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 make furniture, do upholstery, or handle carpentry.
Can I register an upholstery or carpentry business specifically? Yes — you’ll state your specific line of business, such as upholstery and reupholstery services or carpentry and interior woodwork, during registration, and it will be reflected on your certificate and CAC’s public register.
Do I need any additional permits besides CAC registration? CAC registration establishes your legal business name; any workshop or artisan trade permits required by your local council are handled separately and aren’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.
