CAC Business Name Registration for Furniture in Ogun State

Ogun State is timber country, and the carpenters, upholsterers and furniture makers who turn that wood into beds, wardrobes, sofas, doors and office desks have built one of the state’s most visible trades. A registered business name is what lets a workshop trade as a proper business rather than as one pair of hands. Onelove Business Ventures, an accredited CAC agent, handles the name search, the filing and the certificate for furniture, upholstery and carpentry businesses in every part of Ogun State. Just your business name on WhatsApp — everything after that is on us.

What’s Included in the ₦35,500

Your ₦35,500 is one payment with CAC’s filing fee and our service fee already combined, and no extra charges follow it. If you would rather register as a company from the start, a Limited Liability Company costs ₦65,500, also all-inclusive.

• A search to confirm your chosen name is free on CAC’s register
• Reservation of the name once it clears
• Preparation and submission of your CAC Business Name application
• CAC’s government filing and processing fee
• Your Certificate of Registration, as a soft copy
• A Tax Identification Number (TIN)
• A CAC Status Report showing your business as active on the public register

What’s Not Usually Included

A CAC certificate gives your workshop or showroom a legal name. These items sit outside it, and you handle them directly:

• A printed copy of your certificate (we send a soft copy, and any print shop can produce the hard copy)
• Any registration, permit or documentation connected to buying, moving or processing timber, which falls under the state’s forestry rules; ask the Ogun State Ministry of Forestry what applies to your kind of work
• Standards and import requirements for imported materials such as foam, fittings, boards or hardware
• Fire-safety precautions and safe storage for varnish, lacquer, glue and sawdust in your workshop
• Waste, sawdust and general environmental requirements for your workshop location
• Local government levies and signage permits for your shop, showroom or plank yard
• Registration on corporate, school, church or government supplier lists, if you want to bid for bulk furniture orders
• State and federal tax obligations that apply to your business
• A business bank account, opened with your chosen bank once the certificate is in hand
• Annual returns with CAC in later years, a small separate step we can help with when it falls due

Business Name or Limited Liability Company: Which Fits a Workshop?

If you run one workshop, take orders directly from customers or sell from a small showroom, a Business Name usually does the job: it gives you a registered name for invoices, supplier accounts and your bank. A company structure becomes worth considering when you employ a larger team, buy machinery on credit, take on partners, or want the business to stand apart from your personal assets. Many workshops start small and move up later.

What Ogun’s Timber Economy Means for Furniture Businesses

Few states are as tied to wood as Ogun. The state’s own forestry ministry describes Ogun as home to a wide range of timber suited to furniture-making, says it has more than 200 registered sawmills, and lists registering and supervising timber contractors among its responsibilities. The ministry also presents carpentry and furniture workshops as an area it would like to see grow. Recently, at the tenth anniversary of the Irewolede Plank Sellers and Woodworkers Association in Abeokuta, the state’s Commissioner for Forestry said about five million trees had been planted, that the state’s nine forest reserves were fully operational, and that people in the wood trade should source timber responsibly and plant trees to replace what is cut.

For a furniture maker, upholsterer or plank seller, that means two things worth knowing: the people who supply your raw material are regulated and supervised, and the state is openly encouraging a more organised, sustainable timber trade. A registered business name does not replace any forestry requirement that applies to you, and you should ask the ministry what does. What it gives you is a legal identity to deal under, whether you are buying planks from a registered source, issuing a quotation to a school or church, or opening a bank account for your workshop’s earnings.

The Bench, the Foam and the Customer Who Needs It by Saturday

A furniture workshop runs on small deadlines: a bed frame to be sanded before the polish goes on, a sofa set promised before an event, foam and fabric to be cut, a customer who wants to change the colour at the last minute and a delivery van that has to be loaded before the afternoon traffic. When the saw goes quiet, there is rarely energy left for a government website. Registration is one job you can hand over completely. Once it is done, your workshop has a registered name to put on quotations, receipts and bank paperwork, and you can get back to the pieces your customers are waiting for.

This Might Be a Great Fit If…

Before you decide, here’s an honest look at who gets the most from our service:

• You’d rather not wrestle with CAC’s portal between sanding a bed frame, cutting foam for a sofa set and a customer ringing about Saturday’s delivery — your hours belong at the bench.
• You’re moving from home orders and walk-in customers towards supplying schools, churches, offices or estates in bulk, or from one workshop to a showroom and a second site — and you want a registered name to grow under.
• You want a recommendation that fits your size — not the biggest package by default.
• You like knowing the full cost upfront — ₦35,500 covers the filing and our fee together, with nothing added later.

If that sounds like you, send your business name and we’ll get started.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does CAC registration cost for a furniture or carpentry business in Ogun State? ₦35,500 all-inclusive for a Business Name, the same in every Ogun State LGA. A Limited Liability Company is ₦65,500 all-inclusive.

What do I get for the ₦35,500? The name search and reservation, the completed CAC filing, CAC’s government fee, your Certificate of Registration (soft copy), a TIN and a CAC Status Report.

Is a Business Name enough for a furniture workshop? For most owner-run workshops, upholstery businesses and small showrooms, yes. It gives you the registered name to quote, invoice and bank under. Approvals connected to timber or your premises are separate from CAC.

Do I need a forestry permit to buy or use timber? It depends on what you do and where your wood comes from. The Ogun State Ministry of Forestry oversees forest resources and timber contractors, so ask them what applies to your type of work. CAC registration is a separate step.

Can I register if my workshop has no formal premises? Yes. The application needs a business address in Ogun State and its LGA, and we do not ask for property papers. Send the address you operate from or plan to use. If you’re not sure it will be accepted, ask us on WhatsApp before paying.

Can I register an upholstery business? Yes. Upholstery, sofa-making and re-upholstery are registered the same way as other furniture trades; just describe the work in a line or two.

I sell planks and timber. Can I register? Yes. Plank selling and wood supply can be registered like any other business. Rules about sourcing and moving timber are separate from CAC, so check with the forestry authorities.

Can I register furniture-making and interior fit-out under one name? Yes. Describe the nature of business broadly, such as “furniture making, carpentry and interior fit-out”. Individual activities may carry their own requirements.

Can I include selling foam, fabric and fittings? Yes. Materials and supplies can be described alongside your main trade, and you can add detail later if your focus changes.

Do imported fittings or boards need anything beyond the certificate? Possibly. Imported materials can involve product-standards, customs and other requirements handled outside CAC. Check the current rules for what you bring in.

Can I register if I sell furniture only online? Yes. The application still needs a business address in Ogun State and its LGA, so send the address you operate from or plan to use.

Will a CAC certificate help me win school, church or office furniture orders? Buyers often ask for proof of registration before placing bulk or recurring orders, so the certificate is useful to hold. It does not guarantee any contract.

Do you register businesses outside Abeokuta, Sagamu and Ota? Yes. We cover all of Ogun State, from Idiroko and Imeko Afon to Ijebu Ode and Ogun Waterside, at the same price and turnaround.

Can I open a business bank account with the certificate? Yes. A CAC certificate is one of the main documents banks ask for, along with your ID and other details.

Is the TIN included? Yes, a Tax Identification Number is part of what you receive for the ₦35,500.

Do I have to file anything with CAC in later years? Registered businesses file annual returns. It’s a small, separate step and we can help with it when the time comes.

What if the name I want is already taken? Send a backup and we’ll check it right away. Two or three options ready keeps things moving.

Can I register under a brand name instead of my own name? Yes. Your business name is the name you choose, subject to availability, so send your two preferred options and we’ll search them.

Can I move from a Business Name to a Limited Liability Company later? Yes. Many workshops start with a Business Name and convert as orders grow or partners join. We can help with the conversion.

When does it make sense to start as a Limited Liability Company? If you’re launching a larger factory, sharing ownership with partners, or targeting institutional buyers who expect a company structure, the company route is worth considering from day one.

I have more than one workshop or showroom. Does one registration cover them all? One registration covers your business as a whole, and you can describe it broadly. Approvals tied to particular premises may be separate, so confirm what applies to each location.

Do I need a workshop lease or property documents to register? Our requirements list asks for a business address with its LGA, not property papers. Send the address you actually use or plan to use.
