A State Built Around Vehicle Assembly, Not Just Vehicle Repair

Kaduna’s connection to the automobile industry runs deeper than most Nigerian states. Peugeot Automobile Nigeria (PAN) was incorporated in Kaduna in December 1972 as a joint venture between the Federal Government and Automobile Peugeot of France, with its assembly plant commissioned in March 1975 — for decades it was Nigeria’s flagship car manufacturer, building models like the 404, 504 and 505 and supporting a network of accredited dealerships and after-sales service points across the country. That legacy didn’t end with PAN’s decline: Dangote Peugeot Automobiles Nigeria Limited (DPAN), a joint venture between Dangote Industries and Stellantis (Peugeot’s parent company), opened a new Greenfield Ultima Assembly Plant in Kaduna in January 2022, now assembling models including the 301, 508, 3008, 5008 and the Landtrek pickup at up to 120 vehicles a day. Few states in Nigeria have this density of factory-trained mechanical expertise and after-sales infrastructure built into their industrial history — which means Kaduna’s independent auto mechanics and towing operators aren’t starting from zero; they’re working in a state where vehicle servicing has been a serious, formalised trade for half a century. Registering your own business name is how you plug into that ecosystem rather than trade informally alongside it.

Business Name vs. Limited Liability Company Cost

For most independent auto mechanics, towing operators and small workshops in Kaduna, a Business Name covers what’s needed to trade with customers, insurers and vehicle owners under a properly registered name. Once you’re running a multi-bay workshop, operating a towing fleet, or bringing on investors, the Limited Liability Company structure tends to fit better — it separates your personal assets from the business. You can start with a Business Name and convert later.

Here’s Exactly What You’re Paying For

We handle the full Business Name registration for auto mechanic and towing businesses in Kaduna State for ₦35,500 all-inclusive, covering the government filing fee and our service fee together — the option that fits most independent mechanics, small workshops and towing operators starting out, giving you a properly registered business without the extra structure many don’t yet need (a Limited Liability Company registration is also available at ₦65,500 all-inclusive, worth considering once you’re running multiple bays, operating a towing fleet, or bringing in business 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

Send your business name on WhatsApp and consider it handled — that’s genuinely the extent of what’s asked of you.

Want the Limited Liability Company instead? For ₦65,500 all-inclusive you get everything above plus your Memorandum and Articles of Association (Memart) and personal liability protection — worth it once you’re operating at scale or bringing on partners. See the comparison above.

Outside the Scope of This Registration

• Physical/printed copies of your certificate (delivered as soft copy; you print locally whenever convenient)
• FRSC permits or authorisation, where applicable to towing and vehicle recovery operations
• KASUPDA permit for the physical workshop or garage structure
• Environmental compliance for used-oil and workshop waste disposal
• Standards Organisation of Nigeria (SON) compliance, if you sell certified spare parts or accessories
• Trade or artisan association registration with the relevant local mechanics’ body, where applicable
• Business bank account opening, done with your chosen bank once your certificate is in hand
• Annual returns filing in future years — a small, separate step we can also help with when the time comes

Before You Reach Out

You most likely already have these ready:

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 Kaduna State — indicating the LGA
5. Phone number and email address
6. Nature of business — described simply, e.g. “auto mechanic and vehicle repair” or “towing and roadside assistance services”
7. If you choose Limited Liability Company instead: names, ID and details of directors and shareholders

Nothing here needs advance preparation. Send it across on WhatsApp whenever convenient, and we’ll match it to CAC’s requirements.

From Message to Certificate

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 Kaduna 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 covering everything.
6. Receive your Certificate of Registration, TIN and Status Report, usually within 5–7 working days.

That’s the full extent of it on your part: send the details, make one payment, receive your certificate.

You Already Know Engines — Let a Registered Name Back the Business

Running an auto mechanic workshop or towing service in Kaduna means understanding engines, diagnostics, and which customers and insurers actually pay promptly — knowledge built over years on the job that no registration paperwork can replace. CAC registration is the comparatively simple part by comparison, and it’s worth getting settled early — it’s the document that lets you deal with insurers, fleet owners and parts suppliers under a name that’s officially yours rather than trading informally indefinitely.
