If you run a telecommunication or POS business anywhere in Benue State — a POS and agent banking business, a GSM recharge card and data business, a mobile money and bills payment business, a telecom accessories and gadgets business, a SIM registration and phone services business, a cybercafé and business centre, or a telecommunications equipment sales 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 kiosk or shop. All it takes is a short WhatsApp message with your preferred business name, and we take it from there.
Whether your business is in Ado, Agatu, Apa, Buruku, Gboko, Guma, Gwer East, Gwer West, Katsina-Ala, Konshisha, Kwande, Logo, Makurdi, Obi, Ogbadibo, Ohimini, Oju, Okpokwu, Oturkpo, Tarka, Ukum, Ushongo, or Vandeikya Local Government Area, the process and pricing are exactly the same. Benue’s growing towns and rising demand for mobile money and connectivity services keep the telecommunication and POS trade thriving across all 23 LGAs. A CAC certificate simply puts your existing business on paper, the way it should be. We handle the full registration for telecommunication and POS businesses in Benue 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 POS agents, small kiosk owners, and solo operators | Larger POS aggregators, multi-outlet agents, or businesses seeking contracts or investment |
Most independent POS agents, small kiosk owners, and solo operators just starting out find the Business Name option is more than enough to get properly registered without any extra complexity. Businesses planning to run multiple POS outlets, become a sub-agent network, or bring in investors often prefer the Limited Liability Company route for the added protection and structure.
A Good Telecommunication or POS Business Deserves a Registered Name Behind It
You already know your work — the transactions, the top-ups, the customer service, the day-to-day running of the kiosk or shop. 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 POS agents and telecom dealers 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 customer, a bank, or a regulator asks, “are you registered?” — and lets you answer with a quiet yes.
