CAC Business Name Registration for Furniture in Osun State

A wardrobe built to measure in Osogbo, a set of church pews for Ilesa, sofa frames re-covered for a family in Ile-Ife: furniture and carpentry work in Osun runs on trust, deposits and word of mouth, and a registered business name backs all three. Onelove Business Ventures is an accredited CAC agent. We handle the name search, the filing and the certificate for carpenters, upholsterers and furniture dealers anywhere in Osun State, so your hours stay in the workshop. Start with a single WhatsApp message carrying your business name; the forms, the filing and the follow-up are ours to deal with.

A Proposed Furniture Hub at Ifetedo, and What It Means for You

Wood has long been part of Osun’s working life. Britannica lists wood carving among the state’s cottage industries, and furniture shops, workshops and plank yards are part of the picture in Osogbo and across the state. One item worth knowing about is a House of Representatives bill from 2023, sponsored by Hon. Abimbola Taofeek Ajilesoro, which proposes establishing a National Industrial Centre for the Manufacture, Exhibition and Sale of Furniture and Other Timber Products at Ifetedo in Ife South, with the stated aim of promoting Nigeria’s timber industry.

Treat that as a proposal and nothing more. We did not find a record showing the bill has become law or that any centre has been built, so it is no basis for planning a purchase or promising a customer anything. The practical point is smaller and more useful. Furniture makers who are registered are better placed for whatever formal opportunities, buyers and programmes eventually appear, because the first thing anyone asks for is proof the business exists. CAC registration does not entitle you to a place in any centre or scheme, and it is not a timber permit. Since timber supply is subject to forestry rules, confirm with the relevant Osun authorities that your wood is sourced correctly.

Business Name vs. Limited Liability Company

A Business Name is a good fit for an owner-run workshop or shop taking orders from homes, offices and small institutions. A Limited Liability Company is worth considering as you take on bulk supply for schools or institutions, buy timber in large volumes, add partners or investors, or find that bigger buyers prefer a company, because the business then stands apart from your personal assets. Many furniture businesses start with a Business Name and upgrade later.

The Full Breakdown of Your ₦35,500

Your ₦35,500 is one all-inclusive payment covering CAC’s filing fee and our service fee, and nothing is added afterwards. If you would rather begin as a company, a Limited Liability Company is available at ₦65,500, all-inclusive.

• Business name availability search
• Business name reservation
• Completion and submission of the CAC Business Name application
• CAC government filing/processing fee
• Your Certificate of Registration (soft copy)
• Tax Identification Number (TIN)
• A CAC Status Report confirming your business is active on the public register

Separate From This Registration

• Printed copies of your certificate (you receive a soft copy and can print it locally whenever convenient)
• Any permits or fees connected with felling, buying, milling or moving timber and forest produce, which are handled separately
• SON standards that may apply to foam, mattresses, boards and finished furniture
• Customs duties and clearing costs on imported fabric, leather, hardware, boards and finishing materials
• Shop, workshop and signage approvals and levies for your premises
• Workshop safety, including fire precautions, machine guarding and electrical safety, along with handling of sawdust, offcuts and foam waste
• Insurance for stock, tools, delivery vehicles and the workshop itself
• Business bank account opening, done with your chosen bank once your certificate is in hand
• Tax obligations beyond your TIN, and annual returns filing in later years — a small, separate step we can help with when it is due

What to Have on Hand

1. Two proposed business names, ranked by preference
2. A valid means of ID — National ID (NIN), international passport, or driver’s license
3. A passport photograph
4. Your business address in Osun State — indicating the LGA
5. Phone number and email address
6. Nature of business — described simply, e.g. “furniture making and upholstery” or “carpentry, kitchen cabinets and timber sales”
7. If you choose Limited Liability Company instead: names, ID and details of directors and shareholders

How We Get You Registered

1. Check name availability on CAC’s public search portal — our job, not yours.
2. Reserve the name once it is confirmed free.
3. Complete the application using your business, owner and Osun address details.
4. Upload your ID and passport photograph — a clear phone photo is enough.
5. Pay the ₦35,500 filing fee, one payment that covers everything above.
6. Receive your Certificate of Registration, TIN and Status Report, usually within 5–7 working days.

After you have sent your details and made the one payment, our team carries it through to the certificate.

Registering Furniture and Carpentry Businesses Across Osun State

The price, requirements and turnaround are the same wherever your workshop is, whether it is a roadside shed or a full showroom. We register furniture, upholstery and carpentry businesses in all of these areas: Aiyedaade, Aiyedire, Apomu, Atakunmosa East, Atakunmosa West, Boluwaduro, Boripe, Ede North, Ede South, Egbedore, Ejigbo, Gbongan, Ife Central, Ife East, Ife North, Ife South, Ifedayo, Ifelodun, Ijebu-Jesa, Ikire, Ikirun, Ila Orangun, Ilesa East, Ilesa West, Ilobu, Inisa, Irepodun, Isokan, Iwo, Modakeke, Obokun, Odo Otin, Oke Mesi, Ola Oluwa, Olorunda, Olupona, Oriade, Orolu, Osogbo, Otan Ayegbaju and Oyan.

Some of these are local government areas and some are towns. If your business is anywhere in Osun State, you are covered.

Sawdust, Foam Dust and Fabric Swatches Don’t Mix With Paperwork

A good furniture business runs on small, practical decisions: whether the planks have dried properly, which fabric the customer picked, how to get a finished bed frame through a narrow staircase, and what to say to the client who needs a sofa by Saturday. Your hands are busy and your phone keeps ringing. Registration is a task you can pass on completely, so that when a customer asks for a receipt, a church committee asks for your business details or a bank asks for proof of registration, you have a certificate to show.

Who This Service Suits Best

Different business owners want different things from an agent — this is who we serve best:

• You’d rather not battle CAC’s portal between a customer’s fabric swatches, a late delivery of boards and a sofa frame waiting on the bench — you want the paperwork done while the workshop keeps moving.
• You’re aiming past one-off home orders — towards schools, churches, offices and estates, a showroom, bulk board purchases and a registered name that suppliers and larger buyers take seriously.
• You want a recommendation that fits your size — not the biggest package by default.
• You want things kept simple — your details, one payment, your certificate.

If this describes you, we’d be glad to take the paperwork off your hands.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

What do I get for the ₦35,500, and is the TIN included? The name search and reservation, the completed CAC filing, the government fee, your Certificate of Registration (soft copy), a Tax Identification Number and a CAC Status Report. The TIN is part of the same payment.

Is a Business Name enough for a workshop or upholstery business? For most owner-run workshops and shops, yes. It gives you a registered name to trade, invoice and bank under. If you later supply in bulk or bring in partners, you can move to a Limited Liability Company.

Can I register carpentry, upholstery and timber sales under one name? Yes. Describe the nature of business broadly, for example “furniture making, upholstery, carpentry and timber sales”, and one registration covers it all.

What if I only repair or re-cover furniture and don’t build new pieces? You can still register. Describe your work as repair and upholstery services, and the process and price are the same.

Does CAC registration give me a timber or forest-produce permit? No. Permits for felling, buying, milling or moving timber are separate. CAC registration gives you a registered name and nothing more, so confirm the rules for your wood with the relevant Osun authorities.

Will a CAC certificate help me supply schools, churches or offices? Institutions often ask for proof that a supplier is registered before placing an order or paying an invoice, so the certificate is a useful document to have. It does not guarantee any contract or place you on any approved list.

Do I need SON approval for furniture, foam or mattresses? Some products may be subject to SON standards, depending on what you make or sell. That sits outside CAC registration, so check the position for your products.

Do you register businesses outside Osogbo and Ile-Ife? Yes. We register furniture and carpentry businesses across Osun State, from Ikirun and Ila Orangun to Iwo, Ilesa and Ejigbo, at the same price and turnaround.

What if my proposed business name isn’t available? Send a backup name and we’ll check it right away. Two or three options ready keeps things moving.

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

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

Can I upgrade to a Limited Liability Company later? Yes. Many furniture businesses start with a Business Name and convert as the workshop grows. We can assist with the conversion.

When does it make sense to start with a Limited Liability Company? If you are building a larger factory, buying timber in volume, sharing ownership with partners, or an investor or large buyer requires a company structure, the company route is worth considering from day one.
