Everything Covered in Your ₦35,500

The full Business Name registration for welding, metal works and scrap businesses in Kebbi State costs ₦35,500 all-inclusive. That pays for the government filing fee and our service fee in one go. It suits most independent welders, fabricators and scrap dealers who are getting started, and it gives you a properly registered business without extra structure you may not need yet. A Limited Liability Company is also available at ₦65,500 all-inclusive. It is worth considering once you run a bigger crew, take contract jobs, or bring in partners.

• Business name availability search
• Business name reservation
• Completion and submission of the CAC Business Name application
• CAC government filing/processing fee
• Your Certificate of Registration (soft copy)
• Tax Identification Number (TIN)
• A CAC Status Report confirming your business is active on the public register

What You’ll Need to Arrange Separately

• Physical/printed copies of your certificate (sent as a soft copy, and you print locally whenever you like)
• Any permits or licences that apply to buying, storing or selling scrap metal, which vary by where and how you operate
• Approvals from the relevant state or local authorities for workshop or scrap-yard premises, where required
• Standards Organisation of Nigeria (SON) requirements, where they apply to materials or fabricated products you sell
• Customs and export rules, if you import steel or equipment, or export scrap
• Workshop safety and fire-safety compliance, including protective gear and proper storage of gas cylinders
• Business bank account opening, done with your chosen bank once the certificate is in hand
• Annual returns filing in later years, a small separate step we can also help with when it’s due

Business Name vs. Limited Liability Company Cost

For most welding and metal works businesses in Kebbi, a Business Name gives you a legal trading name for quotations, invoices and receipts. If you later take larger contracts, hire more hands or add partners, the Limited Liability Company structure keeps your personal assets separate from the business. Starting with a Business Name and converting later is a common path.

Want the Limited Liability Company straight away? For ₦65,500 all-inclusive you get everything above plus your Memorandum and Articles of Association (Memart) and personal liability protection.

What You’ll Need

1. Two proposed business names, ranked by preference
2. A valid means of ID: National ID (NIN), international passport, or driver’s license
3. A passport photograph
4. Your business address in Kebbi State, indicating the LGA
5. Phone number and email address
6. Nature of business, described simply, e.g. “welding and metal fabrication” or “scrap iron and metal sales”
7. If you choose Limited Liability Company instead: names, ID and details of directors and shareholders

How the Process Runs

1. Check name availability on CAC’s public search portal, handled on our end.
2. Reserve the name once availability is confirmed.
3. Complete the application with your business, director and Kebbi address details.
4. Upload your ID and passport photograph. A phone photo is fine.
5. Pay the ₦35,500 filing fee, a one-time payment that covers everything.
6. Receive your Certificate of Registration, TIN and Status Report, usually within 5–7 working days.

That’s genuinely the whole process from your side: one message, one payment, one certificate.

A Welder’s Business Runs on Power, and Kebbi Has Just Been Through an Outage

Welding depends on electricity, and Kebbi’s welders know how much a blackout can cost. On 7 September 2026, Tower 367 on the 330kV Kainji–Birnin Kebbi transmission line collapsed at Yauri, and the line stayed out of service for about three and a half weeks until the Transmission Company of Nigeria restored it at 5:24 pm on 1 October 2026. Local reporting during the outage named welders among the Birnin Kebbi businesses counting losses. Many workshops had to cope with fewer working hours and lost jobs. Registration won’t fix a transmission line. It does mean your workshop has a documented business name, a TIN and a Status Report on the public register. Those are the papers a bank, a supplier or a larger customer will ask for if you want to finance a generator, buy better equipment, or take on bigger jobs so that the next disruption hurts less.

Serving Welding and Metal Works Businesses Across All of Kebbi

Pricing, requirements and turnaround are the same wherever in Kebbi your workshop or yard is. We regularly register businesses located in:

• Birnin Kebbi, Kalgo and Gwandu: fabrication shops and metal dealers in and around the state capital
• Argungu, Augie and Arewa: welders and metal workers across the Argungu axis
• Jega, Aleiro, Koko/Besse and Maiyama: workshops and scrap dealers in these trading towns
• Bunza, Suru, Dandi and Bagudo: fabricators and metal sellers in the surrounding communities
• Yauri, Shanga and Ngaski: welding and metal businesses serving the Yauri area
• Zuru, Sakaba, Fakai and Danko/Wasagu: welders, fabricators and scrap dealers in the Zuru area and the south of the state

If your business is in any of Kebbi’s 21 Local Government Areas, you’re covered.

Your Skill Is in the Metal; Registration Is Just a Form

Good welders are judged by their beads, their measurements and whether the gate still swings true after a rainy season. A scrap dealer is judged by how well he grades metal and prices a load. None of that has anything to do with CAC. Registration is a form and a fee, and it earns you a name that belongs to you. Once it’s done, your quotations, receipts and bank dealings can carry a registered name, and customers who want to see proof of registration can have it straight away.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does CAC registration cost for a welding or metal works business in Kebbi State? ₦35,500 all-inclusive, the same across all 21 LGAs. A Limited Liability Company registration is ₦65,500 all-inclusive.

What exactly do I get for the ₦35,500? Your name search and reservation, the completed CAC filing, the government processing fee, your Certificate of Registration, a Tax Identification Number and a CAC Status Report confirming you’re active on the public register.

Is a Business Name enough for a welding workshop? For most independent welders and small fabrication shops, yes. It gives you a legal trading name and is the main registration needed to start.

Can I register welding and scrap sales under one name? Yes. One registration covers the business as a whole, and you can describe your nature of business broadly enough to include both.

Should I register as a Business Name or a Limited Liability Company? A Business Name suits most welders, fabricators and scrap dealers starting out. If you’re taking larger contracts or working with partners, a Limited Liability Company is worth considering.

When should I move to a Limited Liability Company? Usually when you’re hiring a larger crew, bidding for bigger jobs, working with partners, or when a client or financier specifically asks for it.

I weld from a roadside spot or travel to customers. Can I still register? Yes. Mobile and roadside welders register the same way. You need a business address in Kebbi State, which can be your workshop, shop, storage point or home base.

Do I need a licence to buy and sell scrap metal? It can depend on how and where you operate. Scrap permits and premises approvals are separate from CAC registration, so confirm what applies with the relevant authorities.

Do I need SON approval for my products? Where you sell materials or fabricated products covered by standards, SON requirements can apply. These are separate from CAC registration.

Will a CAC certificate help me get bigger customers? Contractors, institutions and larger buyers often ask for proof of registration before working with a supplier or fabricator, so the certificate is frequently the first document they request.

Can I open a business bank account with the certificate? Yes. A CAC certificate is one of the main documents banks ask for when opening a business account, alongside your ID and other details.

Do you register businesses outside Birnin Kebbi? Yes. We register welding, metal works and scrap businesses in all 21 Kebbi LGAs, at the same price and turnaround time.

What if my proposed business name isn’t available? Send a backup name and we’ll check it right away. Having two or three ready keeps things moving.

Can I convert my Business Name to a Limited Liability Company later? Yes. Many workshops start with a Business Name and convert as jobs and teams grow, and we can assist with the conversion when the time comes.
