There’s no extra step hiding behind this: message us your business name, and we take it from there.

Jigawa’s Building Boom Is Already Training Painters

The demand for painting and decoration work in Jigawa isn’t a guess — the state government is actively creating it. In February 2026, Governor Umar Namadi inaugurated a 55-unit housing project on the Ibrahim Aliyu Bypass Road in Dutse, backed by a ₦2 billion loan released to the State Housing Development Authority. Alongside the groundbreaking, the government directed the Housing Authority to enrol 135 youths in a dedicated artisan and skills training programme specifically for POP and painting work tied to the project. That sits on top of a wider run of state housing schemes — 550 units delivered in 2024, 600 more underway in 2025, and approval already secured for another 600 in 2026 — plus a further 560-unit mass housing phase approved across nine LGAs. Every one of those units eventually needs a painter, a POP fitter or an interior finisher, and a properly registered business name is what lets you bid for that work, invoice contractors and estate developers, and be paid formally rather than casually.

We handle the full Business Name registration for painting and interior/exterior decoration businesses in Jigawa State for ₦35,500 all-inclusive, covering the government filing fee and our service fee together — the option that fits most independent painters, POP artisans and small decoration outfits starting out, giving you a properly registered business without the extra structure many don’t yet need (a Limited Liability Company registration is also available at ₦65,500 all-inclusive, worth considering once you’re bidding for estate or government contracts, running a crew across multiple sites, or bringing in business partners).

What Your ₦35,500 Covers

• 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

Want the Limited Liability Company instead? For ₦65,500 all-inclusive you get everything above plus your Memorandum and Articles of Association (Memart) and personal liability protection — worth it once you’re operating at commercial scale or bringing on partners. See the comparison below.

Business Name vs. Limited Liability Company Cost

For most painting and decoration businesses in Jigawa, a Business Name covers what’s needed to trade with clients, contractors and building owners under a properly registered name. Once you’re bidding for state housing or estate-developer contracts, running crews across several sites at once, or bringing on investors, the Limited Liability Company structure tends to fit better — it separates your personal assets from the business. You can start with a Business Name and convert later.

Documents to Have Ready

You most likely already have these ready:

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 Jigawa State — indicating the LGA
5. Phone number and email address
6. Nature of business — described simply, e.g. “building painting and decoration” or “POP ceiling and interior finishing”
7. If you choose Limited Liability Company instead: names, ID and details of directors and shareholders

Nothing here needs advance preparation. Send it across on WhatsApp whenever convenient, and we’ll match it to CAC’s requirements.

The Registration Timeline

1. Check name availability on CAC’s public search portal — handled on our end.
2. Reserve the name once availability is confirmed.
3. Complete the application with your business, director and Jigawa address details.
4. Upload your ID and passport photograph — a phone photo is fine.
5. Pay the ₦35,500 filing fee, a one-time payment covering everything.
6. Receive your Certificate of Registration, TIN and Status Report, usually within 5–7 working days.

Six steps, and only two of them involve you — everything else runs on our end.

What Falls Outside This Registration

• SON compliance for the quality standards of paints and building finishing materials, where applicable
• Jigawa State Ministry of Works, Housing and Transport contractor prequalification, where required for government housing or estate contracts
• Local Government business premises and signage permits
• Environmental and waste disposal compliance for paint and decoration waste
• Business bank account opening, done with your chosen bank once your certificate is in hand
• Annual returns filing in future years — a small, separate step we can also help with when the time comes

You Already Know the Trade — Let a Registered Name Back the Business

Getting a coat of paint even across a wall, matching a finish, cutting clean POP lines on a ceiling — that’s craft you’ve built up on real jobs, not something a certificate teaches. CAC registration is the comparatively simple part by comparison, and it’s worth getting settled early: it’s the document that lets you bid for estate and contractor jobs, open supplier accounts for paint and materials, and get paid under a name that’s officially yours, rather than working informally indefinitely.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does CAC registration cost for a painting or decoration business in Jigawa State? ₦35,500 all-inclusive, the same across all 27 LGAs. A Limited Liability Company registration is also available for ₦65,500 all-inclusive.

What do I actually get for the ₦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 painting business? Yes — for most independent painters and small decoration outfits, 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 painters and artisans starting out. If you’re bidding for estate or government contracts or bringing on partners, the Limited Liability Company route is worth considering.

When should I upgrade to a Limited Liability Company? Usually once you’re taking on state housing or estate-developer contracts, running multiple crews, or an investor specifically requires it.

Can I register painting and POP/interior finishing under one business name? Yes — a single registration covers your business as a whole. You can describe your nature of business broadly enough to include both.

Does this registration qualify me to bid for state housing contracts? The CAC registration is usually the first document required, but contractor prequalification with the relevant Ministry of Works or Housing office is a separate step handled outside this registration.

I do painting work with just myself and one or two helpers — can I still register? Yes — small and large painting businesses register the same way. You just need a business address in Jigawa State, which can be your home, workshop or storage location for materials.

Do I need SON approval to sell or use paint commercially? Standards compliance for paint and building materials can apply depending on what you’re producing or supplying, and is separate from CAC registration.

Will this certificate help me open supplier accounts for paint and materials? Many suppliers and hardware distributors ask for proof of business registration before setting up a trade account, so a CAC certificate is often the first document that opens that door.

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, alongside your ID and other details.

Do you register businesses outside Dutse? Yes — we register painting and decoration businesses in all 27 Jigawa LGAs, at the same price and turnaround time.

What if my proposed business name isn’t available? Just send a backup name and we’ll check it right away. Having two or three ready in advance keeps things moving smoothly.

Can I convert my Business Name registration to a Limited Liability Company later? Yes — many painting and decoration businesses start with a Business Name and convert once contract volumes or partnerships grow; we can assist with that conversion when the time comes.

How long does the whole process actually take? 5–7 working days from the day we receive your complete details and payment, the same turnaround across every LGA in Jigawa.

Do I need to travel to Dutse to complete this? No — the entire process runs over WhatsApp. We handle the CAC filing on our end regardless of where in Jigawa you’re based.

Is the ₦35,500 a one-time payment or are there recurring fees? It’s a one-time payment covering registration in full. The only future cost is annual returns filing, a small separate step in later years.

Can this registration cover a small crew of painters I work with? Yes — the business name covers your operation as a whole. Details of employees or subcontractors aren’t part of the CAC filing itself.

Ready When You Are

Jigawa’s housing programme is putting real, funded work in front of painters, POP artisans and decoration businesses right now, and a registered name is what lets you be counted for it rather than working around it. It’s the document that lets you deal with contractors, developers and suppliers under a name that’s officially yours.

Ready when you are — it takes one message. Send your business name on WhatsApp → and we’ll take it from there.
