The Full Breakdown of Your ₦35,500

The ₦35,500 is one payment for a laundry, cleaning or domestic-support business in Oyo State. It already holds both CAC’s filing fee and our service fee, so nothing appears after you’ve paid. If you’d rather begin as a company, a Limited Liability Company is ₦65,500, all-inclusive.

• Checking that your preferred business name is free
• Reserving the name once it clears
• Completing and submitting the CAC Business Name application
• CAC’s government filing/processing fee
• Your Certificate of Registration, as a soft copy
• Your Tax Identification Number (TIN)
• A CAC Status Report showing your business as active on the public register

Separate From This Registration

• A printed certificate. You receive a soft copy and can print it at any business centre.
• Environmental, wastewater and sanitation requirements for your premises, including how you handle detergents and, if you dry-clean, solvents, where applicable.
• Building and planning approvals if you put up or alter a shop, workshop or laundry space.
• Fire-safety arrangements for irons, dryers, boilers and generators.
• Your water supply and storage arrangements, which are a practical matter for you and not part of CAC registration.
• Shop and business permits from your local government and the state, where they apply.
• Any requirements that apply to recruiting and placing domestic staff, if that is part of your business. Confirm what applies with the relevant state authorities.
• State and federal tax obligations that apply to your kind of business.
• Opening a business bank account, which you do with your chosen bank once the certificate is in hand.
• Annual returns in later years, a small separate step we can help with when it falls due.

Business Name vs. Limited Liability Company

A Business Name suits most owner-run laundries and cleaning services: it gives you a legal name for receipts, supplier accounts and a bank account. A Limited Liability Company becomes more attractive when you take on contracts with hotels, clinics or hostels, share ownership with partners, bring in investors, or want the business kept apart from your personal assets. Many owners start with a Business Name and upgrade when the work grows.

Why Water Comes First for Laundries in Oyo State

Laundry runs on water, and in Oyo State that is a business question before it is a paperwork one. Ibadan is Nigeria’s largest city by area, and reporting by the ICIR has described how only a small share of residents are connected to the public mains, leaving most households and many businesses to rely on wells, boreholes and water vendors. The Oyo State Water Corporation, which runs the Asejire and Eleyele schemes, said in October 2024 that supply had been restored to parts of Ibadan, including Molete, Bode and Labiran, after years of disruption, and that repairs were continuing. Coverage still varies by area, so it is worth checking what actually reaches your location before you scale up.

For a laundry owner, that means your water source, storage and wastewater arrangements deserve as much thought as your machines. None of it is covered by CAC registration, which gives you a registered business name and nothing more. What the certificate does help with is the other side of the business: hotels, guest houses, clinics, hostels and offices that outsource their linen or cleaning often want to know exactly who they are dealing with, and a CAC certificate is a straightforward way to show it. It does not guarantee any contract, but it puts your business on the public register under a name they can verify.

Rainy-Day Laundry and the Paperwork That Waits

Anyone in this trade knows the rhythm: wet loads that won’t dry on a humid afternoon, a rack of pressed shirts waiting for pick-up, tags to match, a collection list to confirm, and a customer who needs a suit back before Sunday. The registration is the one job that never feels urgent until a client or a bank asks for it. Hand it to us, and your business gets a recognised name that can go on receipts, tags, delivery notes and invoices, while you stay with the machines and the customers.

You’ll Probably Like Working With Us If…

Different business owners want different things from an agent — this is who we serve best:

• You’re loading machines before a pick-up run, or ironing through a Friday-evening rush, with customers waiting for clothes they need by Sunday — you want the registration handled while the work carries on.
• You’re aiming past walk-in customers — toward regular contracts with hotels, guest houses, clinics and hostels, a second pick-up route or branch, or placing cooks and cleaners with households — and you want a registered name to grow under.
• You want honest advice, not an upsell — if a Business Name covers your stage, that’s what we’ll recommend.
• You’d rather not chase anyone — one message starts it, and the price you’re quoted is the price you pay.

If that sounds like how you like to do business, you’ll probably enjoy working with us.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does CAC registration cost for a laundry or cleaning business in Oyo State? A Business Name is ₦35,500, all-inclusive, the same wherever in the state you operate. A Limited Liability Company is ₦65,500, also all-inclusive.

What do I get for the ₦35,500? The name search and reservation, the completed CAC application, CAC’s government fee, your Certificate of Registration as a soft copy, a TIN and a CAC Status Report.

Is a Business Name enough for a laundromat or cleaning service? For an owner-run laundry, pressing shop or cleaning team, yes. It gives you the registered legal name to trade, invoice and bank under. Premises and environmental requirements are separate.

Do laundromats, dry cleaners and pressing shops register the same way? Yes. The CAC process and cost are identical. Describe what you do plainly on the application, and one name can cover washing, dry-cleaning and ironing together.

Can a pick-up and delivery laundry service register? Yes. A service that collects and returns clothes registers just like a shop. The application still needs a business address in Oyo State.

Will hotels, clinics and hostels accept my certificate? Many institutions ask for proof of registration before they outsource laundry or cleaning, so the certificate is a useful document. It does not guarantee any contract.

Can a domestic-staff placement agency register as well? Yes, CAC registration works the same way for an agency placing cooks, nannies, cleaners or caregivers. Any further requirements for recruiting and placing staff are handled separately.

I clean homes and offices myself. Can I register? Yes. A one-person cleaning service can register a business name, which is helpful for invoices, bookings and corporate clients.

Do water and wastewater rules come with this registration? No. Environmental, water-supply and wastewater requirements for your premises are separate from CAC registration.

Do I need planning approval for my shop or laundry space? It may apply if you build or alter a structure. That is handled separately by the state planning authorities, not through CAC.

Is the TIN included? Yes. A Tax Identification Number comes with the ₦35,500.

How long does registration take? Usually 5–7 working days once your details and payment are in.

My business is outside Ibadan. Can you still register me? Yes. We register businesses across all of Oyo State, from Oyo and Ogbomosho to Saki and Ibarapa, at the same price and turnaround.

I run the laundry from my home. What address do I use? The application needs a business address in Oyo State and its LGA. A home address can be used, and so can a shop you plan to rent.

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

Can I cover several outlets or drop-off points under one name? One registration covers your business as a whole. Any premises-level permits are separate, so confirm them for each location.

Can I register laundry and cleaning services together? Yes. Describe the nature of the business broadly, for example laundry, dry-cleaning and cleaning services, and one registration covers all of it.

Can I open a business bank account with the certificate? Yes. A CAC certificate is one of the main documents banks ask for, alongside your ID and other details.

Do I need to file anything with CAC in later years? Registered businesses have annual returns to file. It is a small, separate step, and we can help when it falls due.

Can I upgrade from a Business Name to a Limited Liability Company later? Yes. Many laundries start with a Business Name and convert as contracts, staff and equipment grow. We can help with the conversion.

When does it make sense to start with a Limited Liability Company? If you are building a commercial laundry for hotels and hospitals, sharing ownership with partners, or an investor requires a company structure, the company route is worth considering from the start.

How will I receive my certificate, and do I need to print it? We send a soft copy via WhatsApp. If you want a physical copy, print it at any local business centre.
