CAC Business Name Registration for Metal Works Business in Abuja (FCT)

If you’re searching for how to register your welding or fabrication business with CAC in Abuja, you’re already ahead of most workshops still operating without one.

Welders and fabricators are working right now out of Idu Industrial Layout, along Kubwa, Kuje Road, and Jikwoyi — producing gates, burglary-proof doors, overhead tanks, and structural steelwork for a city that never stops building. Every one of those workshops is chasing the same construction sites, the same estate developers, and the same corporate clients you are. In a market that competitive, the fabricator who gets the callback is the one who can show a real, registered business name — not just a workshop and a phone number. We’re Onelove Business Venture, a CAC-accredited agent, and we handle the full registration for welding, metal works, and iron scrap businesses in Abuja 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). Wherever you’re based in the FCT — Idu, Kubwa, Jikwoyi, or Kuje — the process runs entirely online, and most clients have their certificate within a week.

Don’t lose your next fabrication contract to a registered competitor. Message us on WhatsApp right now and let’s get your business registered today.

What’s Included in the ₦35,500

• Business name availability search
• Business name reservation
• Completion and submission of the CAC application
• CAC government filing/processing fee
• Your Certificate of Registration (soft copy)
• A CAC Status Report confirming your business is active on the public register
• Your Tax Identification Number (TIN), reflected on your certificate

What’s Not Usually Included

• Physical/printed copies of your certificate (delivered as soft copy; you print locally)
• FCT area council or environmental permits for scrap yards and heavy fabrication work (handled separately from CAC registration)
• Annual returns filing in future years — a separate, recurring cost

Business Name vs. Limited Liability Company Cost

Every Week Without a Certificate Is a Job Going Somewhere Else

Right now, a property developer finishing an estate in Lugbe or Kuje is choosing which welder gets the gate and burglary-proofing contract. A construction firm needs overhead tanks and structural steelwork fabricated and won’t sign with a name they can’t verify. A bank is deciding whether to finance a welding machine or delivery van for a workshop that’s actually registered on paper. In every one of these situations, an unregistered fabricator simply isn’t in the running — no verifiable business name means no contract, no financing, and no formal supplier relationship. Every month you delay is a month those jobs go to the workshop next door that already took this step.

Stop watching contracts go to registered competitors. Send your proposed business name on WhatsApp now and we’ll check availability immediately.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does CAC business name registration cost for a welding or metal works business in Abuja? ₦35,500 all-inclusive for a Business Name, ₦65,500 for a Limited Liability Company — CAC’s national pricing applies the same way regardless of whether you weld, fabricate, or trade in scrap.

Can I register a welding or scrap metal trading business specifically? Yes — you’ll state your specific line of business (such as welding and metal fabrication or scrap metal trading) during registration, and it will be reflected on your certificate and CAC’s public register.

Do I need a local government permit in addition to CAC registration? CAC registration establishes your legal business name; any FCT area council or environmental permits required for scrap yards or heavy fabrication work are handled separately and aren’t part of this service.

Do I need to visit a CAC office in Abuja to register? No. The full process happens online regardless of which part of the FCT you’re based in.

How long does registration take? Typically 5–7 working days when the application clears on the first submission.

What if my proposed business name isn’t available? You’ll submit a backup name — having two or three ready in advance avoids losing time to a second search.

Do I need an accredited agent to register? For a professional service and result, yes — using an accredited agent avoids the errors that commonly delay applications filed independently. We are a CAC-accredited agent, and we’ll handle your entire registration professionally, from name search through certificate delivery.

How do I start right now? Send us a WhatsApp message with your preferred business name and we’ll begin the availability check immediately — no forms, no waiting for an appointment.
