CAC Business Name Registration for Auto Mechanic in Kebbi State

A garage or tow truck business in Kebbi State lives on trust: a customer hands over the keys, or calls you out to a broken-down vehicle on the road, and expects you to be a business they can find again. A CAC-registered name is how that trust gets put on paper. Onelove Business Ventures is an accredited CAC agent, and we handle your Business Name registration online from start to finish, so you can stay under the bonnet while we deal with the paperwork.

The Business Name registration is ₦35,500, all-inclusive, covering the government filing fee and our service fee together, with no extras added later. Your certificate comes as a soft copy on WhatsApp in 5–7 working days, and you print it locally. If you’re building a multi-bay workshop or a towing fleet, a Limited Liability Company registration is also available at ₦65,500 all-inclusive.

There’s no extra step hiding behind this: message us your business name, and we take it from there.

Road Enforcement in Kebbi and Why Mechanics and Tow Operators Feel It

Kebbi’s roads are policed actively, and that touches your trade directly. In July 2026 the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) Kebbi Sector Command ran a special enforcement operation, codenamed “Daidaita Lodi” or “Lodi Limit,” across its seven operational units in the state. It targeted overloading, mixed loading of passengers and goods, route violations and tyre-related offences, and had arrested 39 vehicles by the time the sector commander briefed journalists in Birnin Kebbi. The command described it as part of the FRSC’s periodic nationwide enforcement exercises. Tyre and road-hazard offences in particular are mechanic territory, and vehicles that break down or are impounded often need someone to recover them.

Towing in particular is formalised by FRSC’s own standard operating procedure for towing, payment and release of vehicles. It provides for FRSC commands to engage privately owned tow trucks, which must be registered vehicles, with charges based on prevailing commercial rates and adjusted for distance, tonnage and terrain. The procedure also keeps a register of towed vehicles, recording details such as the towing company and its fee. That document concerns vehicle registration, not business registration, and CAC is a separate matter. Even so, an operator working with an official process like this is better placed with a registered business name behind the truck.

Separate From This Registration

CAC registration sets up your business name. These items are handled by other bodies and are not part of this service:

• Printed copies of your certificate (delivered as soft copy; print locally whenever convenient)
• Registration and documentation of your tow trucks and workshop vehicles with the relevant licensing and road safety authorities
• Any FRSC arrangements for towing, including tow charges and operating procedures that apply to your work
• Kebbi State or local government permits for operating a workshop or garage premises, where they apply
• Insurance cover for tow trucks and for customers’ vehicles while in your care
• Proper handling and disposal of used engine oil, batteries and tyres, and other environmental and fire-safety requirements for your workshop
• Membership of trade or artisan associations, if you choose to join one
• Business bank account opening, done directly with your bank once your certificate is in hand
• Annual returns filing in future years — a small, separate step we can also help with when it’s due

The Full Breakdown of Your ₦35,500

• 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)

Business Name or Limited Liability Company?

A Business Name is a sensible first step for most mechanics and one-truck towing operators: it gives you a registered trading name at the lowest cost. The Limited Liability Company is worth considering once you’re handling more vehicles, operating several tow trucks, or taking on co-owners, because it separates your personal assets from the business. You can begin with a Business Name and convert later.

The Skill Is Yours; the Paperwork Doesn’t Have to Be

You can tell what’s wrong with an engine from the sound it makes. You know which parts are worth sourcing the genuine way, how the dust and heat of the dry season punish air filters and batteries, and how to talk a stressed driver through a breakdown at the roadside. None of that is on the CAC form. What the form gives you is a registered name that appears on your invoices, your supplier accounts and your agreements with fleet owners and transport operators, so that the business stays recognisable and credible even on days when you’re too busy to explain who you are.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does CAC registration cost for an auto mechanic or towing business in Kebbi State? ₦35,500 all-inclusive for a Business Name, the same across all 21 LGAs. A Limited Liability Company is ₦65,500 all-inclusive.

What do I get for the ₦35,500? Your name search and reservation, the completed CAC filing, the government processing fee, your Certificate of Registration (soft copy), a Tax Identification Number, and a CAC Status Report confirming your business is active on the public register.

Is a Business Name enough for a garage or a tow truck business, and when should I move to a Limited Liability Company? For most individual mechanics and single-truck operators, yes. Consider a Limited Liability Company once you’re running several bays or trucks, bringing in partners, or dealing with a client or lender that wants your personal assets kept separate from the business. You can convert later.

I work from a roadside spot or a small shed, not a proper workshop — can I still register? Yes. You need a business address in Kebbi State, which can be your workshop, shed, tow yard or shop location.

Does CAC registration cover FRSC towing arrangements, vehicle documents or workshop permits? No. Tow truck and vehicle documentation, FRSC towing procedures, premises permits and insurance are handled by other bodies and are separate from CAC registration.

Do you register businesses outside Birnin Kebbi? Yes. We register auto repair and towing businesses in all 21 Kebbi LGAs, at the same price and turnaround.
