If you run an upholstery, furniture-making, or carpentry 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 workshop. All it takes is a short WhatsApp message with your preferred business name, and we take it from there.
Bauchi’s steady demand for home furnishing, office furniture, and building woodwork across towns like Bauchi town, Azare, and Misau keeps upholstery, furniture, and carpentry businesses in steady demand — a CAC certificate simply puts your existing business on paper, the way it should be.

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 carpenters, upholsterers, and small workshops | Furniture manufacturing companies, contractors, or businesses seeking bulk/government contracts |
Most independent carpenters, upholsterers, and small workshop owners just starting out find the Business Name option is more than enough to get properly registered without any extra complexity. Businesses planning to manufacture at scale, supply furniture in bulk, or bid for government/corporate contracts often prefer the Limited Liability Company route for the added protection and structure.
A Good Craftsman Deserves a Registered Business Behind Them
You already know how to build things that last — the joinery, the finishing, the day-to-day workmanship. 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 carpenters and furniture makers 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 supplier, a contractor, 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 an upholstery, furniture, or carpentry business in Bauchi? ₦35,500 all-inclusive for a Business Name, ₦65,500 for a Limited Liability Company — the same national pricing whether you make furniture, do upholstery, or run a carpentry workshop.
Can I register an upholstery or sofa-making business specifically? Yes — you’ll simply state your specific line of business, such as upholstery and sofa production, and it will be reflected on your certificate and CAC’s public register.
Do I need SON certification in addition to CAC registration? Not for CAC registration itself — that just establishes your legal business name. SON certification for furniture sold at wider retail or export scale, and contractor registration for public sector supply contracts, are separate steps you can look into whenever they become 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.
