If you run a painting or decoration business anywhere in Benue State — a building painting and finishing business, an interior decoration and design business, an exterior painting and facade business, a wallpaper and wall finishing business, a POP (plaster of Paris) and ceiling design business, a furniture and upholstery decoration business, or a signage and mural painting business — registering it with CAC is one of the easiest things you’ll do all year. We at Onelove Business Ventures are an accredited agent, and we handle the entire process for you — search, filing, certificate — from wherever you are. You don’t need to visit an office, stand in a queue, or step away from your job site to sort out paperwork. All it takes is a short WhatsApp message with your preferred business name, and we take it from there.
Whether your business is in Ado, Agatu, Apa, Buruku, Gboko, Guma, Gwer East, Gwer West, Katsina-Ala, Konshisha, Kwande, Logo, Makurdi, Obi, Ogbadibo, Ohimini, Oju, Okpokwu, Oturkpo, Tarka, Ukum, Ushongo, or Vandeikya Local Government Area, the process and pricing are exactly the same. Benue’s growing towns and steady pace of new buildings, renovations, and home upgrades keep the painting and decoration trade thriving across all 23 LGAs. A CAC certificate simply puts your existing business on paper, the way it should be. We handle the full registration for painting and interior/exterior decoration businesses in Benue State for ₦35,500 all-inclusive, covering the government filing fee and our service fee together (a Limited Liability Company registration is ₦65,500 all-inclusive). The whole process runs online, and most clients have their certificate in about a week — with almost nothing required of you beyond that first message.
It really is this simple: send us your business name on WhatsApp, and we’ll handle everything else.

Business Name vs. Limited Liability Company Cost
| Business Name | Limited Liability Company | |
|---|---|---|
| All-inclusive cost | ₦35,500 | ₦65,500 |
| Personal liability protection | No | Yes |
| Documents received | Certificate + Status Report | Certificate + Status Report + Memart + TIN |
| Best for | Independent painters, small decoration crews, and solo POP artisans | Larger contracting firms, renovation companies, or businesses seeking corporate and government contracts |
Most independent painters, small decoration crews, and solo POP artisans just starting out find the Business Name option is more than enough to get properly registered without any extra complexity. Businesses planning to build a full contracting team, take on large renovation jobs, or bid for corporate and government contracts often prefer the Limited Liability Company route for the added protection and structure.
A Good Painting and Decoration Business Deserves a Registered Name Behind It
You already know your work — the surface prep, the coats, the finishing touches, the day-to-day running of jobs from one site to the next. That’s the hard part, and you’ve handled it well. Making it official with CAC is the easy part, and it’s the kind of small, sensible step that experienced painters and decorators take in their stride — not because they’re worried about losing out, but because it’s simply the right box to tick once a business is real. It gives you something to point to when a client, a developer, or a contractor asks, “are you registered?” — and lets you answer with a quiet yes.
