If you run a painting or interior/exterior decoration business anywhere in Borno State — a building painting and contracting business, an interior decoration and design business, an exterior decoration and facade finishing business, a POP (plaster of paris) ceiling and interior finishing business, a wallpaper and wall finishing business, or a signage and building branding 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 site. 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 ongoing rebuilding and new construction keep steady demand for painting and decoration services 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 painting and interior/exterior decoration 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
| Business Name | Limited Liability Company | |
|---|---|---|
| All-inclusive cost | ₦35,500 | ₦65,500 |
| Personal liability protection | No | Yes |
| Documents received | Certificate + Status Report | Certificate + Status Report + Memart + TIN |
| Best for | Independent painters, decorators, and small finishing crews just starting out | Larger contracting firms, interior design studios, or businesses seeking construction and estate contracts |
Most independent painters, decorators, and small finishing crews 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 larger contracting firm, operate a full interior design studio, or bid for construction and estate development contracts often prefer the Limited Liability Company route for the added protection and structure.
A Good Painting or Decoration Business Deserves a Registered Name Behind It
You already know your trade — the priming, the painting, the finishing, the styling, the day-to-day running of the business. 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 painters and decorators 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 client, a landlord, or a site manager asks, “are you registered?” — and lets you answer with a quiet yes.
