If you run a power supply, solar installation, or energy equipment business in Bauchi, 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 installation site. All it takes is a short WhatsApp message with your preferred business name, and we take it from there.
Bauchi’s steady demand for reliable electricity and solar alternatives across homes, businesses, and farms in towns like Bauchi town, Azare, and Misau keeps power and solar energy businesses in steady demand — a CAC certificate simply puts your existing business on paper, the way it should be. We handle the full registration for power and solar energy businesses in Bauchi 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 installers and small solar/power equipment sellers | Mini-grid operators, larger solar companies, or businesses seeking investment or NERC licensing |
Most independent installers and small solar/power equipment sellers just starting out find the Business Name option is more than enough to get properly registered without any extra complexity. Businesses planning to build mini-grids, apply for NERC licensing, or bring in investors typically prefer the Limited Liability Company route for the added protection and structure.
A Good Power Solution Deserves a Registered Business Behind It
You already know how to keep the lights on — the installations, the maintenance, the day-to-day reliability. 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 power and solar operators 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 corporate client, a supplier, or a bank 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 power or solar energy business in Bauchi? ₦35,500 all-inclusive for a Business Name, ₦65,500 for a Limited Liability Company — the same national pricing whether you install solar systems, sell generators, or handle electrical wiring.
Can I register a solar installation business specifically? Yes — you’ll simply state your specific line of business, such as solar panel and inverter installation, and it will be reflected on your certificate and CAC’s public register.
Do I need a NERC license in addition to CAC registration? Not for CAC registration itself — that just establishes your legal business name. NERC licensing for mini-grid or independent power generation/distribution, and SON certification for imported solar equipment, 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.
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.
