CAC Business Name Registration for Metal Works and Iron Scrap Businesses in Borno State

If you run a welding, metal works or iron scrap business anywhere in Borno State — a welding and metal fabrication workshop, a gate, burglary-proof and window protector fabrication business, an aluminium doors and windows fabrication business, an iron scrap buying and dealing business, a metal recycling and scrap processing business, a roofing sheet and metal materials business, or a blacksmithing and metal tools 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 workshop or yard. All it takes is a short WhatsApp message with your preferred business name, and we take it from there.

Whether your business is in Abadam, Askira/Uba, Bama, Bayo, Biu, Chibok, Damboa, Dikwa, Gubio, Guzamala, Gwoza, Hawul, Jere, Kaga, Kala/Balge, Konduga, Kukawa, Kwaya Kusar, Mafa, Magumeri, Maiduguri, Marte, Mobbar, Monguno, Ngala, Nganzai, or Shani Local Government Area, the process and pricing are exactly the same. Borno’s steady construction, rebuilding and repair work keeps demand strong for welding, fabrication and metal supply across all 27 LGAs. A CAC certificate simply puts your existing business on paper, the way it should be. We handle the full registration for welding, metal works and iron scrap businesses in Borno 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

Most independent welders, fabricators and small scrap dealers just starting out find the Business Name option is more than enough to get properly registered without any extra complexity. Businesses planning to run a large fabrication workshop, operate a scrap yard, or bid for construction, roofing and government supply contracts often prefer the Limited Liability Company route for the added protection and structure.

A Good Welding or Metal Works Business Deserves a Registered Name Behind It

You already know your work — the cutting, the joining, the fitting, the day-to-day running of the workshop or yard. 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 welders, fabricators and metal dealers 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 customer, a contractor, or a procurement officer asks, “are you registered?” — and lets you answer with a quiet yes.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does CAC business name registration cost for a welding, metal works or scrap business in Borno? ₦35,500 all-inclusive for a Business Name, ₦65,500 for a Limited Liability Company — the same pricing across all 27 LGAs in Borno State.

Can I register an iron scrap buying business specifically? Yes — you’ll simply state your specific line of business, such as buying and selling of scrap metal, and it will be reflected on your certificate and CAC’s public register.

Do I need a scrap dealer permit in addition to CAC registration? Not for CAC registration itself — that just establishes your legal business name. State scrap metal dealer permits and any police clearance requirements are separate steps you can look into whenever they become relevant to your business, and we’re happy to point you in the right direction when that time comes.

Can I register fabrication work and metal materials sales 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 fabrication and the sale of metal materials.

Do you register businesses outside Maiduguri? Yes — we register welding, metal works and iron scrap businesses in all 27 Borno LGAs, at the same price and turnaround time.

How long does registration take? Typically 5–7 working days, and there’s nothing further required from you once you’ve sent your details.

What if my proposed business name isn’t available? No trouble at all — just send a backup name and we’ll check it right away. Having two or three ready in advance keeps things moving smoothly.

We’re a CAC-accredited agent, and we take care of your entire registration from name search through certificate delivery, so all you do is send a message and wait for good news.
