If you run a sports or gym equipment business anywhere in Borno State — a gym and fitness equipment sales business, a sports equipment and sportswear retail business, a gym and fitness center business, a sports equipment rental business, a personal training and fitness coaching business, or a sports equipment repair and maintenance 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 shop floor or your gym. 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 growing fitness culture and youth interest in sports keep steady demand for gym equipment and sportswear 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 sports and gym equipment 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 equipment retailers, personal trainers, and small gym owners just starting out | Larger fitness centers, equipment importers, or businesses seeking corporate wellness or franchise contracts |
Most independent equipment retailers, personal trainers, and small gym owners 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 fitness center, import equipment at scale, or bid for corporate wellness or franchise contracts often prefer the Limited Liability Company route for the added protection and structure.
A Good Sports or Gym Equipment Business Deserves a Registered Name Behind It
You already know your trade — the sourcing, the coaching, the sales, 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 sports and fitness professionals 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 supplier, or a partner asks, “are you registered?” — and lets you answer with a quiet yes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I register a personal training and fitness coaching business specifically? Yes — you’ll simply state your specific line of business, such as personal training and fitness coaching services, and it will be reflected on your certificate and CAC’s public register.

If you’re operating a physical gym facility, a local government premises permit is generally expected, and fire safety certification may apply for larger facilities.
