What’s Included in the ₦35,500

We handle the full Business Name registration for beverage and fruit juice businesses in Kano State for ₦35,500 all-inclusive, covering the government filing fee and our service fee together — the option that fits most independent juice producers, bottlers and beverage retailers 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 supplying supermarkets and distributors directly, scaling up bottling capacity, 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

It really is this simple: send us your business name on WhatsApp, and we’ll handle everything else.

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 commercial scale or bringing on partners. See the comparison below.

What’s Not Usually Included

• Physical/printed copies of your certificate (delivered as soft copy; you print locally whenever convenient)
• NAFDAC registration, since packaged fruit juice, zobo, kunun aya and other bottled or sachet drinks are regulated food products
• Standards Organisation of Nigeria (SON) compliance for bottling, packaging and labelling standards
• Kano State Ministry of Commerce, Industry, Trade and Investment permits, where applicable to beverage manufacturers and processors
• Weights and measures compliance for how your drinks are packaged and sold
• Environmental and effluent-discharge compliance for bottling or processing plant operations
• 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

Business Name vs. Limited Liability Company Cost

For most beverage and fruit juice businesses in Kano, a Business Name covers what’s needed to trade with retailers, wholesalers and households under a properly registered name. Once you’re running a bottling line at commercial volume, supplying distributors across LGAs, 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.

Kano’s Own Case for Local Processing

Kano’s most visible lesson in what local fruit and vegetable processing can do sits in the irrigated fields of the Kadawa Valley, in Kura Local Government Area. In March 2016, the Dangote Group opened a tomato processing factory there — built by the Swiss agribusiness firm Syngenta at a cost of about $20 million, with a stated capacity of 1,200 metric tons of fresh tomatoes a day and an annual output of over 400,000 tonnes of tomato paste, drawing on roughly 50,000 farmers across the Kadawa Valley’s 17,000 hectares of irrigated land. The same irrigation scheme that supplies it has also been documented as a source of watermelon for fruit juice processors sourcing raw material from Kano and neighbouring Jigawa. Whatever the ups and downs of any one factory’s production runs, the underlying point holds for anyone bottling or blending drinks in the state today: Kano has the irrigated farmland, the produce volumes and the transport links for beverage processing at real scale, and a properly registered business is how independent producers position themselves to draw on that rather than stay outside it.

Getting your fruit blend right, your bottling line running clean and your shelf life holding up in Kano’s heat is the part that takes real skill — nobody can shortcut that. CAC registration is the comparatively simple part by comparison, and it’s worth getting settled early — it’s the document that lets you open supplier and wholesale buyer accounts formally, under a properly recognised business name, rather than trading informally indefinitely.

This Might Be a Great Fit If…

Not every registration service is the right match for every business owner, and that’s fine — here’s who tends to get the most out of working with us:

• You’d rather your paperwork just get done than spend a production day figuring out CAC’s portal yourself between batches.
• You’re thinking beyond this season — whether you’re bottling and selling locally now or planning to supply supermarkets and distributors down the line.
• You value a straight answer over a sales pitch — if a Business Name is enough for where you are, we’ll tell you that, not upsell you into the LLC.
• You want one message to actually mean one message — no chasing documents back and forth, no surprise extra fees once you’ve paid.

If that sounds like how you like to do business, you’ll probably enjoy working with us.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does CAC registration cost for a beverage or fruit juice business in Kano State? ₦35,500 all-inclusive, the same across all 44 LGAs. A Limited Liability Company registration is also available for ₦65,500 all-inclusive.

What do I actually 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 to run a fruit juice or beverage trading business? Yes — for most independent producers and small-scale bottlers, a Business Name establishes your legal business name and is the main registration you need to start.

Should I register as a Business Name or a Limited Liability Company? A Business Name suits most independent producers and traders starting out. If you’re running a bottling line at commercial scale or bringing on partners, the Limited Liability Company route is worth considering.

When should I upgrade to a Limited Liability Company? Usually once you’re supplying supermarkets or distributors directly, scaling up production capacity, or an investor specifically requires it.

Can I register fruit juice production and zobo or kunun aya production under one business name? Yes — a single registration covers your business as a whole. You can describe your nature of business broadly enough to include multiple beverage lines.

I sell drinks on a small scale from a stall or kiosk — can I still register? Yes — small and large beverage businesses register the same way. You just need a business address in Kano State, which can be your stall, shop or production site.

Do I need NAFDAC registration to sell fruit juice or bottled drinks? Yes — since packaged beverages are a regulated food product, NAFDAC registration is required and is separate from CAC registration.

Do I need SON approval for my bottles or packaging? It can apply depending on your packaging and production process — Standards Organisation of Nigeria compliance is separate from CAC registration and worth checking as your operation grows.

Will this certificate help me open wholesale supplier or distributor accounts? Many supermarkets and bulk buyers ask for proof of business registration before setting up a supply account, so a CAC certificate is often the first document that opens that door.

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 Kano metropolis? Yes — we register beverage and fruit juice businesses in all 44 Kano LGAs, at the same price and turnaround time.

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

Can I convert my Business Name registration to a Limited Liability Company later? Yes — many beverage businesses start with a Business Name and convert once volumes or partnerships grow; we can assist with that conversion when the time comes.

You Already Know Your Craft — Let a Registered Name Back the Business

Producing beverages that people trust in Kano runs on things you can’t shortcut — getting the blend right, keeping your bottling line clean, and holding shelf life in the heat. CAC registration is the comparatively simple part, and it’s worth getting settled early: it’s the document that lets you deal with distributors, banks and bulk buyers under a name that’s officially yours.
