What’s Included in the ₦35,500

Your ₦35,500 is a single payment. CAC’s government fee and our service fee are both built in, and nothing is added afterwards. If you would like to start as a company instead, a Limited Liability Company is ₦65,500, also all-inclusive.

• A check of CAC’s register to confirm your chosen name is available
• Reservation of the name for your business
• Preparation and submission of your Business Name application
• CAC’s government filing and processing fee
• Your Certificate of Registration (soft copy)
• Your Tax Identification Number (TIN)
• A CAC Status Report showing your business as active on the public register

What’s Not Usually Included

These items sit with other bodies or with you, and are worth lining up early:

• State environmental requirements for wastewater, detergent and dry-cleaning solvent disposal — confirm what applies to your premises
• Fire-safety and electrical checks for dryers, steam presses, boilers and generators
• Shop or workshop approvals from the local authority, signage approvals and any market or council levies
• Utility connections for water and electricity, and the cost of backup supply such as a borehole, generator or solar
• If you place domestic staff with households, whether employment-agency licensing applies to you, plus your own staff vetting and written terms
• Insurance for customers’ garments and for your staff, if you decide to take it
• Printed copies of your certificate, which arrives as a soft copy and can be printed at any shop
• Opening a business bank account, done with your bank once the certificate is in hand
• Annual returns to CAC in later years — a small, separate step we can also help with when it falls due

Business Name or Limited Liability Company?

For a single laundry, a pressing counter or a small cleaning crew, a Business Name normally covers it: a name for your receipts, your customer messages and your bank account. A Limited Liability Company becomes the sensible choice if you are running several branches, going into business with partners, or signing bigger contracts, since the business then stands as a legal person separate from you. Plenty of owners start small and convert later.

Water, Power and the Laundry Business in Nasarawa

Few trades lean on water and electricity the way a laundry does, and in Nasarawa both have been talking points. In March 2024, Daily Trust reported that households in Lafia were spending hours looking for water after the state water board had been unable to pump for about two months because of poor power supply, pushing many families towards vendors. More recently, Leadership reported that the state government has repaired pumps and water works in towns including Keffi, Karu, Akwanga, Lafia, Doma and Obi, is dredging River Amba, the main raw water source for the Lafia Water Works, and is building a booster station at Garaku so water from the Mada Water Works can reach Keffi. Residents and reporters have continued to disagree about how far supply has improved, so the picture varies from one area to another.

For a laundry owner, the practical lesson is to plan your water and power before you open: a borehole or storage tanks, and a backup for the pressing and drying equipment. CAC registration will not supply either. What it gives you is a registered business name, a TIN and a status report, which are the documents you will want when you start taking on hotel, guest-house or school linen, issuing proper invoices, or opening a business account for the money those jobs bring in.

Spin Cycle, Deadlines and Doorstep Pick-Ups

Anyone who has run a laundry knows how the day goes: sorting loads before the first pick-up, treating a stubborn stain on someone’s wedding outfit, keeping the iron hot when the power drops, and promising a Saturday collection to a customer who needs it for church on Sunday. Domestic support has its own rhythm of cleaners, cooks and helpers who must be scheduled, matched and followed up with households. Registering the business name is the one job on that list we can take off you entirely. After it is done, your business has a name that stands up on receipts, booking messages and bank paperwork.

This Might Be a Great Fit If…

Not every registration service is the right match for every business owner, and that’s fine — here’s who tends to get the most out of working with us:

• You’d rather not read through CAC’s pages while a load is mid-wash, a pressing queue is building and pick-ups are waiting at the door — you want the paperwork done while the work carries on.
• You’re planning where the business goes next — from a neighbourhood shop to pick-up-and-delivery routes, linen contracts with guest houses and schools, or a staffing agency with a proper client list — and you want a registered name to grow under.
• You value a straight answer over a sales pitch — if a Business Name is enough for where you are, we’ll tell you that, not upsell you into the LLC.
• You want one message to actually mean one message — no chasing documents back and forth, no surprise extra fees once you’ve paid.

If that’s the kind of service you want, message us and we’ll begin.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does CAC registration cost for a laundry or domestic support business in Nasarawa State? ₦35,500 all-inclusive for a Business Name, in any of the 13 LGAs. A Limited Liability Company is ₦65,500 all-inclusive.

What comes with the ₦35,500? The name search and reservation, the completed CAC filing, CAC’s government fee, your Certificate of Registration (soft copy), a TIN and a CAC Status Report.

Is a Business Name enough for a laundry, cleaning service or staffing agency? For most single-owner businesses, yes. It gives you the legal name and registration to begin with. If you are opening several branches, taking on partners or chasing larger contracts, a Limited Liability Company may suit you better, and you can convert from a Business Name later.

Do I need approvals for wastewater and chemicals? Those are separate from CAC. Check the state’s current environmental requirements for disposing of wastewater, detergents and any dry-cleaning solvents before you open.

Can I register laundry and house cleaning under one name? Yes. Describe the business broadly, such as “laundry, cleaning and domestic support services”. Anything specific to a regulator is handled separately.

I want to place cleaners and house helpers with families. Does registration cover that? CAC registration gives your agency a legal name. Whether employment-agency licensing applies to your placements is a separate question, so check the current requirements, and keep your own records on the people you place.

Do you register businesses outside Lafia, Karu and Keffi? Yes. We cover all 13 LGAs, from Akwanga and Wamba to Obi and Awe, at the same price and turnaround.

I haven’t found a shop yet. Can I still register? You need a business address in Nasarawa State, with the LGA, for the application. If you are still looking, send the address you plan to use.

What if my first-choice name isn’t available? Send a backup name and we’ll check it straight away. Having two or three options ready keeps things moving.
