CAC Business Name Registration for Welding in Ogun State

Gates, roof frames, tanks, window guards, railings and the scrap that feeds the mills: metal work keeps moving across Ogun State, from roadside welders in Abeokuta to fabricators serving the factories around Ota and Agbara. A registered business name is what lets that work be quoted, invoiced and paid for under one official name. Onelove Business Ventures, an accredited CAC agent, handles the name search, the filing and the certificate for welding, metal works and scrap businesses in every part of Ogun State. Message us your business name on WhatsApp and you’ve done your share — the filing, the follow-up and the certificate are ours to handle.

What Your ₦35,500 Covers

You make one payment of ₦35,500, with CAC’s filing fee and ours already folded in and no further charges after it. If you would rather begin as a company, a Limited Liability Company is ₦65,500, also all-inclusive.

• Checking that your chosen business name is available on CAC’s register
• Reserving the name once it is cleared
• Preparing and submitting your CAC Business Name application
• The government filing and processing fee charged by CAC
• Your Certificate of Registration, as a soft copy
• Your Tax Identification Number (TIN)
• A CAC Status Report showing your business as active on the public register

What Falls Outside This Registration

A CAC certificate gives your workshop or scrap business a legal name. These items are separate and are dealt with directly:

• A printed copy of your certificate (we send a soft copy, and any print shop can produce the hard copy)
• Rules on buying, moving, storing or exporting scrap metal, which are set outside CAC; check the current federal and state requirements for the kind of scrap you handle
• Workshop and site safety arrangements, including the safe storage and handling of gas cylinders, and fire precautions
• Professional or engineering sign-off for structural work that requires it; confirm with the relevant professional body
• Standards and import requirements for imported steel, electrodes, machinery or equipment
• Waste, noise and general environmental requirements for your workshop or scrap yard
• Local government levies and signage permits for your workshop, shop or yard
• Registration on factory, contractor or government supplier lists, if you want to bid for those jobs
• State and federal tax obligations that apply to your business
• A business bank account, opened with your chosen bank once the certificate is in hand
• Annual returns with CAC in later years, a small separate step we can help with when it falls due

Business Name or Limited Liability Company for a Metal Business

If you weld on your own, run a workshop with a few apprentices, or collect and sell scrap, a Business Name is often enough to start with: it gives you a registered name for quotations, invoices and a bank account. A company becomes worth thinking about when jobs get large, partners join, you buy heavy equipment on credit, or you want the business to stand apart from your personal assets. Many metal businesses start small and upgrade later.

Documents to Have Ready

1. Two business names you’d like, ranked by preference
2. A valid ID — your NIN slip, international passport or driver’s licence
3. A passport photograph
4. Your business address in Ogun State, with the LGA
5. A phone number and an email address
6. A simple description of your work — for example “welding and metal fabrication” or “iron scrap trading and steel supply”
7. For a Limited Liability Company only: the names, IDs and details of each director and shareholder

The Registration Timeline

1. We run the name search on CAC’s public portal so you don’t have to.
2. We reserve the name as soon as it is confirmed available.
3. We complete the application with your business, owner and Ogun State address details.
4. You upload your ID and passport photograph — a clear phone photo works.
5. You pay the ₦35,500, a single payment covering everything above.
6. Your Certificate of Registration, TIN and Status Report arrive, normally within 5–7 working days.

After your details and your payment, the work shifts entirely to us, and your certificate is the next thing you’ll see.

Ogun’s Industrial Belt and the Hands That Keep It Running

Few states generate as much steady demand for metal work as Ogun. A report on the state’s industrial growth, published by Premium Times, describes Ogun as the preferred destination for expansion outside Lagos, with steel, ceramics and agro-allied plants appearing along the Abeokuta–Sagamu and Ijebu Ode–Epe highways. It also points to Ewekoro’s cement plants and to the Ogun–Guangdong Free Trade Zone, which it says exports ceramics, steel and household equipment. Industry directories for the Ota and Agbara industrial estates have long listed steel and rolling-mill operators among their neighbours.

For a welder, fabricator or scrap dealer, that kind of industrial activity means a steady flow of frames, repairs, guards, tanks, gates and cut-to-size steel, along with scrap that has to be collected and moved. None of it guarantees work for any one business, and a new registration does not entitle you to factory contracts. What a registered name does give you is a way to be taken seriously by the buyers around those estates and highways: a name for your quotation, an invoice you can issue, a bank account for payment, and a certificate to show when a contractor or factory asks who you are. Rules about handling scrap and other regulated activities sit outside CAC, so check what applies to your line of work.

Where We Register Welding and Metal Businesses in Ogun State

Price, requirements and turnaround stay the same in every area. Here’s how our coverage works across the state.

The Ota–Agbara industrial belt

• Ifo — welders and steel sellers serving the growing estates on the Lagos side

• Obafemi Owode — metal workshops along the Lagos–Ibadan expressway at Mowe and Ibafo

Abeokuta and the Egba area

• Abeokuta North and Abeokuta South — gates, roofing frames and general fabrication for homes, schools and shops in the capital
• Odeda — welders and fabricators serving farms, institutions and the FUNAAB campus area

Remo and the Sagamu corridor

• Sagamu — fabricators and steel sellers along the Abeokuta–Sagamu highway
• Ikenne — metal workshops near the Ilishan-Remo campus area
• Iperu, Isara and Remo North — welders and fabricators across the Remo towns

If your workshop or yard is anywhere in Ogun State, we can register it.

Sparks, Cylinders and a Customer Waiting at the Gate

A metal worker’s day is physical and full of loose ends: a gate to measure, cut and weld before the primer goes on, a gas cylinder running low, electrodes to restock, a truck of scrap to weigh in or a customer standing in the yard asking whether the railings will be ready by Friday. By evening, the thought of filling in a government form on a small phone screen is the last thing anyone wants. Registration is a job you can pass on entirely. When it’s finished, your business has a registered name for quotations, receipts and bank paperwork, and you can get back to the metal.

Who This Service Suits Best

A registration agent should suit the way you work. Here’s who tends to be happiest with us:

• You’d rather not squeeze CAC’s portal between measuring a gate, restocking electrodes and a scrap truck waiting at the yard — your daylight hours belong at the workshop.
• You’re moving from household gates and repairs towards fabrication for contractors, steel supply or regular scrap deliveries to bigger buyers around Ota, Sagamu or Abeokuta — and you want a registered name to grow under.
• You want honest advice, not an upsell — if a Business Name covers your stage, that’s what we’ll recommend.
• You want a process without back-and-forth — send your details once, pay once, and there are no surprise charges afterwards.

If that’s the kind of service you want, message us and we’ll begin.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does CAC registration cost for a welding or metal business in Ogun State? ₦35,500 all-inclusive for a Business Name, the same in every Ogun State LGA. A Limited Liability Company is ₦65,500 all-inclusive.

What do I get for the ₦35,500? The name search and reservation, the completed CAC filing, CAC’s government fee, your Certificate of Registration (soft copy), a TIN and a CAC Status Report.

Is a Business Name enough for a welding workshop or fabrication business? For most individual welders, workshop owners and small fabricators, yes. It gives you the registered name to quote, invoice and bank under. Approvals tied to your work or premises are separate from CAC.

Can I register an iron scrap business? Yes. Scrap collection and trading can be registered like any other business; describe the work in a line or two.

Does CAC registration cover the rules on buying, moving or exporting scrap? No. CAC gives your business a legal name only. Rules about handling scrap are set separately, so check the current federal and state requirements before you trade.

Can I register welding and the sale of iron rods, pipes and plates under one name? Yes. Describe the nature of business broadly, such as “welding, metal fabrication and steel supply”. Individual activities may carry their own requirements.

I’m a mobile welder with no workshop. Can I register? Yes. The application needs a business address in Ogun State and its LGA, so send the address you operate from or plan to use. If you’re not sure it will be accepted, ask us on WhatsApp before paying.

Do I need engineering or professional registration for structural work? Some structural and engineering work can involve professional sign-off. That is handled outside CAC, so check with the relevant professional body for the services you offer.

Does registration cover workshop safety and gas cylinder rules? No. Safety arrangements for your workshop, including gas cylinders and fire precautions, are separate from CAC. Make sure you know what applies to your premises.

Can I include gates, burglar-proof doors, roofing frames and tanks in the description? Yes. List what you do in plain words, and you can broaden or update the description later if your focus changes.

Can I register a cutting, bending or rolling service? Yes. Metal-shaping services are registered the same way as welding and fabrication.

Will a CAC certificate help me supply factories or contractors? Buyers often ask for proof of registration before awarding larger or recurring jobs, so the certificate is useful to hold. It does not guarantee any contract.

Do you register businesses outside Abeokuta, Ota and Sagamu? Yes. We cover all of Ogun State, from Idiroko and Imeko Afon to Ijebu Ode and Ogun Waterside, at the same price and turnaround.

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

Is the TIN included? Yes, a Tax Identification Number is part of what you receive for the ₦35,500.

Do I have to file anything with CAC in later years? Registered businesses file annual returns. It’s a small, separate step and we can help with it when the time comes.

What if my first-choice name is already taken? Send a backup and we’ll check it straight away. Two or three options ready keeps things moving.

Can I move from a Business Name to a Limited Liability Company later? Yes. Many metal businesses start with a Business Name and convert as contracts grow or partners join. We can help with the conversion.

When does it make sense to start as a Limited Liability Company? If you’re launching a larger fabrication shop, sharing ownership with partners, or targeting factories and contractors who expect a company structure, the company route is worth considering from day one.

I run more than one workshop or yard. Does one registration cover them all? One registration covers your business as a whole, and you can describe it broadly. Approvals tied to particular premises may be separate, so confirm what applies to each location.

Do I need a workshop lease or property documents to register? Our requirements list asks for a business address with its LGA, not property papers. Send the address you actually use or plan to use.

Can I register under a brand name instead of my own name? Yes. Your business name is the name you choose, subject to availability, so send your two preferred options and we’ll search them.

I’m employed as a welder right now but want to start on my own. Can I register already? Yes. You need your ID, passport photograph, contact details and an address in Ogun State. Registering early lets you set up your name and bank account before you leave your job.
