Every Week Without a Certificate Is a Contract or Account Going Somewhere Else
Right now, building contractors and property developers awarding painting and finishing contracts want a verified, registered vendor before signing on. Paint manufacturers and material suppliers extending trade credit or dealership terms require a registered business on the account. Corporate clients and estate managers commissioning office or property makeovers prefer registered businesses they can issue purchase orders to. Every month you delay registration is a month those contracts and accounts go to a competitor who’s already registered.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does CAC business name registration cost for a painting or decoration business in Akwa Ibom? ₦35,500 all-inclusive for a Business Name, ₦65,500 for a Limited Liability Company — CAC’s national pricing applies the same way whether you paint buildings, design interiors, or handle event décor.
Can I register an interior design business specifically? Yes — you’ll state your specific line of business, such as interior design and furnishing, during registration, and it will be reflected on your certificate and CAC’s public register.
Do I need a contractor registration or trade permit in addition to CAC registration? CAC registration establishes your legal business name; any local government trade/artisan permits or contractor registration required for specific projects are handled separately and aren’t part of this service.
How long does registration take? Typically 5–7 working days when the application clears on the first submission.
What if my proposed business name isn’t available? You’ll submit a backup name — having two or three ready in advance avoids losing time to a second search.
Do I need an accredited agent to register? For a professional service and result, yes — using an accredited agent avoids the errors that commonly delay applications filed independently. We are a CAC-accredited agent, and we’ll handle your entire registration professionally, from name search through certificate delivery.
