Every Week Without a Certificate Is a Contract Going Somewhere Else
Right now, construction companies and contractors sourcing gates, railings, and structural steelwork want a verified, registered vendor before signing a fabrication contract. Industrial buyers and exporters purchasing scrap metal in bulk typically require a registered business to process payments and paperwork. Estate developers fitting out new buildings with burglary-proofing and metal fixtures prefer contractors they can formally contract. Every month you delay registration is a month those contracts and deals go to a competitor who’s already registered.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does CAC business name registration cost for a welding, metal works, or iron scrap business in Akwa Ibom? ₦35,500 all-inclusive for a Business Name, ₦65,500 for a Limited Liability Company — CAC’s national pricing applies the same way whether you do fabrication welding, aluminum works, or scrap metal trading.
Can I register an iron and scrap metal trading business specifically? Yes — you’ll state your specific line of business, such as iron and scrap metal trading or welding and metal fabrication, during registration, and it will be reflected on your certificate and CAC’s public register.
Do I need any additional permits besides CAC registration? CAC registration establishes your legal business name; any scrap dealer permits or environmental/waste-handling authorizations required for handling scrap metal are handled separately and aren’t part of this service.
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.
