Outside the Scope of This Registration

• NAPTIP and Kaduna State Child Welfare and Protection Law compliance, for domestic staffing and placement agencies

• Environmental and effluent-discharge compliance for laundries using significant water volumes
• Fire safety inspection and approval for premises using heat-based dry-cleaning or pressing equipment

• Annual returns filing in future years — a small, separate step we can also help with when the time comes

Business Name vs. Limited Liability Company Cost

For most independent laundry operators, cleaning services and small staffing agencies in Kaduna, a Business Name is enough to trade formally with individual and corporate clients. Once you’re running multiple outlets, placing staff across several client accounts, or bringing on partners, 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.

Before You Reach Out

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 Kaduna State — indicating the LGA
5. Phone number and email address
6. Nature of business — described simply, e.g. “laundry and dry-cleaning services” or “domestic staffing and placement”
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.

From Message to Certificate

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 Kaduna 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.

That’s genuinely the whole process from your side: one message, one payment, one certificate.

Kaduna Was Built on Fabric — Fabric Care Businesses Fit Right In

Kaduna’s relationship with textiles runs deeper than most cities in Nigeria. Kaduna Textiles Limited opened its mill on the banks of the Kaduna River in November 1957, at the time one of the largest integrated textile operations in the country, spinning, weaving and finishing fabric that clothed much of northern Nigeria for decades before the mill eventually shut down in 2002. Other mills followed in its wake, and the industry’s decline has been a recurring subject of federal and state revival efforts ever since, including a government delegation touring Kaduna’s textile sites again as recently as August 2025 to look at what it would take to bring the sector back. Whatever becomes of that larger industrial story, the everyday work of washing, pressing and caring for fabric hasn’t gone anywhere — it’s simply moved from the mill floor to the laundry and dry-cleaning businesses serving homes and offices across the state today, and a properly registered business name is what lets that work be conducted formally rather than informally.

Your Reputation Runs on Trust — Let a Registered Name Back It

Whether it’s a client trusting you with their clothes, their home, or the person who cares for their children, the businesses in this sector run on something no certificate can manufacture: being reliable, week after week, with the same client. What CAC registration adds is the formal layer beneath that reliability — a properly registered name that lets you take on corporate laundry contracts, sign agency placement agreements, and be the kind of business a client feels comfortable recommending to someone else.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does CAC registration cost for a laundry or domestic support business in Kaduna State? ₦35,500 all-inclusive, the same across all 23 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 for a laundry or cleaning business, or do I need an LLC? A Business Name is enough for most independent operators and small agencies. An LLC is worth considering once you’re running multiple outlets or bringing on partners.

When should I upgrade to a Limited Liability Company? Usually once you’re operating several outlets, managing a larger domestic staffing roster across multiple clients, or taking on business partners.

Can I register a laundry service and a domestic staffing agency 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.

Do I need any special approval to run a domestic staffing or placement agency in Kaduna? Placement agencies are expected to operate within Kaduna’s Child Welfare and Protection Law and relevant labour regulations; these sit alongside your CAC registration rather than replacing it.

Are there rules around employing minors as domestic staff? Yes — Nigerian and Kaduna State law strictly prohibit using underage persons as domestic workers outside their family environment, and this is enforced separately from any business registration.

Do I need NAFDAC registration if I make my own detergents or cleaning products? Yes, if you manufacture or repackage cleaning chemicals for resale, NAFDAC registration applies and is separate from CAC registration.

Do I need SON approval for imported washing or dry-cleaning machines? It can apply to imported equipment; it’s worth checking against the specific machines you bring in.

I run a small laundromat with a few machines — can I still register? Yes — small and large operations register the same way. You just need a business address in Kaduna State, which can be your current shop or unit.

I offer mobile pickup-and-delivery laundry with no fixed shop — can I still register? Yes — you’ll just need an address in Kaduna State to register against, even if it’s a home base rather than a storefront.

Will this certificate help me open supplier accounts for detergents and equipment? Many suppliers and distributors ask for proof of business registration before setting up a supply 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.

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.

Do you register laundry and domestic support businesses outside Kaduna metropolis? Yes — we register businesses in all 23 Kaduna LGAs, at the same price and turnaround time.

Can I convert my Business Name registration to a Limited Liability Company later? Yes — many laundry and staffing businesses start with a Business Name and convert once they scale up; we can assist with that conversion when the time comes.

Does my business need fire safety clearance for dry-cleaning equipment? It can, depending on the equipment used; this sits with your local fire safety authority and is separate from CAC registration.

How long does the whole process take from start to finish? Typically 5–7 working days from the point you send your details and payment.

Do I need annual returns filed after registration? Yes, eventually — it’s a small, separate yearly filing that isn’t part of this initial registration, but we can also assist with it when it comes due.

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