A Growing Pool of Trained Carpenters Behind the Trade
Gombe State has put real institutional weight behind vocational skill-building in trades like carpentry. The Amina Mohammed Skills Acquisition Centre, built along the Gombe bye-pass through a partnership between the state government and the Office of the Senior Special Assistant to the President on the SDGs, runs programmes across 14 different skill areas for young men and women in the state. Separately, the Nigerian Correctional Service has run vocational training β including carpentry β across six custodial facilities in Gombe State, part of a deliberate push to give trainees a trade they can build a livelihood on after release. Taken together, these point to a state where carpentry and woodworking skills are being actively cultivated at more than one level, which tends to widen the pool of people entering furniture-making and carpentry as a trade β and with it, the demand for materials, tools and finished furniture supply.

Business Name vs. Limited Liability Company Cost
| Business Name | Limited Liability Company | |
|---|---|---|
| All-inclusive cost | β¦35,500 | β¦65,500 |
| Personal liability protection | No | Yes |
| Documents received | Certificate + Status Report + TIN | Certificate + Status Report + Memart + TIN |
| Best for | Independent carpenters, upholsterers and small furniture makers | Businesses supplying institutional or bulk furniture contracts |
For most furniture and carpentry businesses in Gombe State, a Business Name covers what’s needed to sell to households, offices and small clients under a properly registered name. Once you’re supplying institutional contracts at scale, expanding your workshop, or bringing on partners, the Limited Liability Company structure tends to fit better β it separates your personal assets from the business. You can start with a Business Name and convert later.

You Handle the Woodwork β Let a Registered Name Back the Business
Running a furniture and carpentry business means knowing your materials, working with precision, and being someone clients trust to deliver pieces that last. CAC registration is the comparatively simple part, and it’s worth getting settled early: it’s the document that lets you bid for office fit-out and institutional furniture contracts formally, under a properly recognised business name.
Six steps, and only two of them involve you β everything else runs on our end.

How much does CAC registration cost for a furniture/carpentry business in Gombe State? β¦35,500 all-inclusive, the same across all 11 LGAs. A Limited Liability Company registration is also available for β¦65,500 all-inclusive.
What do I actually get for the β¦35,500? Your name search and reservation, the completed CAC filing, the government processing fee, your Certificate of Registration, a Tax Identification Number, and a CAC Status Report confirming you’re active on the public register.
Is a Business Name enough to run a furniture-making business? Yes β for most independent carpenters and small furniture makers, a Business Name establishes your legal business name and is the main registration you need to start.
Should I register as a Business Name or a Limited Liability Company? A Business Name suits most independent carpenters and upholsterers starting out. If you’re supplying institutional contracts at scale, the Limited Liability Company route is worth considering.
