Business Name vs. Limited Liability Company

For most beverage businesses in Katsina, a Business Name is enough to put your trade on a proper footing. The Limited Liability Company is worth weighing when ownership is shared, when you buy ingredients and packaging in bulk on credit, or when you want your personal assets kept separate from the business. You can start with a Business Name and convert later.

Requirements for CAC Registration in Katsina State

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 Katsina State, indicating the LGA
5. Phone number and email address
6. Nature of business, described simply, for example “fruit juice production” or “beverage distribution”
7. If you choose Limited Liability Company instead: names, ID and details of directors and shareholders

Nothing here needs advance preparation. Send what you have on WhatsApp when it suits you, and we’ll check it against CAC’s requirements.

Step-by-Step: How Little This Actually Takes

1. Check name availability on CAC’s public search portal, handled on our side.
2. Reserve the name once it’s confirmed available.
3. Complete the application using your business, owner and Katsina address details.
4. Upload your ID and passport photograph. A clear phone photo is enough.
5. Make one payment of ₦35,500, which covers everything.
6. Receive your Certificate of Registration, TIN and Status Report, usually within 5–7 working days.

Six steps, and only two of them involve you — everything else runs on our end.

Katsina’s Drinks Come From Its Own Grain Belt

Katsina’s traditional drinks are built on what the state grows. Millet, sorghum and maize are among its main crops, and these same grains are the base of kunu, also called kununzaki, one of the region’s best-loved drinks. Zobo, brewed from dried roselle flowers with ginger and pineapple, is sold chilled on the streets and in restaurants, and fura da nono, made from millet and fermented cow’s milk, is a staple at festive occasions and in local markets. There is a catch for anyone who wants to build these drinks into a real business: a study of Nigerian artisanal beverages observed that kunu and zobo are usually made at home or in unregistered facilities and sold with little regulation. That leaves room for producers who do things properly, starting with a registered business name and then moving on to the product approvals that bigger buyers look for.

This Might Be a Great Fit If…

We aren’t the right choice for every drink maker, and that’s perfectly fine. Here’s who usually enjoys working with us:

• You’d rather be perfecting your recipe than filling in online forms.
• You’re thinking beyond the roadside: bottled products, shop shelves, event supply or a proper production space.
• You like plain advice: if a Business Name is all you need now, we’ll say so and won’t push the larger option.
• You want the cost clear up front, with nothing added later.

If that sounds like you, we’ll probably get along well.

A Good Drink Sells Itself; a Registered Name Sells It Further

Anyone who has made a batch of zobo knows the details that matter: how long the petals soak, how much ginger is too much, how cold the bottle needs to be on a hot afternoon. Juice makers learn the same lessons with fruit that is ripe one week and past it the next, and distributors learn which shops pay promptly. A certificate won’t improve the drink. It does give a supermarket buyer, a caterer or a bulk customer an official name to deal with, and it sets you up to take the next steps, such as packaging and product approvals, with a proper business behind you.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does CAC registration cost for a beverage business in Katsina State? ₦35,500 all-inclusive, the same across all 34 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 for a juice or drink business? For most independent producers, juice bars and small distributors, yes. A Business Name establishes your legal business name and is the main CAC registration you need to start.

Should I choose a Business Name or a Limited Liability Company? A Business Name suits most drink makers starting out. If you have partners or investors, or you want personal liability protection for a larger production business, the Limited Liability Company is worth weighing.

When should I upgrade to a Limited Liability Company? Usually when ownership is being shared, when you’re buying ingredients and packaging in large volumes on credit, or when a major buyer or investor specifically asks for a company.

Can I register juice production and distribution under one business name? Yes. A single registration covers your business as a whole, so you can describe your nature of business broadly enough to include both.

I make drinks in a small kitchen or at home. Can I still register? Yes. Small and large producers register the same way. You just need a business address in Katsina State, which can be your production space, shop or home address.

Do I need NAFDAC registration to sell zobo, kunu or juice in bottles? If you package beverages for sale, NAFDAC registration is a separate requirement from CAC registration, and it is worth planning for as you grow.

Does CAC registration cover labelling and barcodes? No. Labelling, barcode and packaging requirements are handled separately, and they matter most when you start supplying shops and supermarkets.

Will a CAC certificate help me supply shops, caterers or distributors? Many shops, caterers and distributors prefer to buy from registered businesses and often ask for proof of registration before opening a supply account.

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, along with your ID and other details.

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 in advance keeps things moving smoothly.

Do you register businesses outside Katsina city? Yes. We register beverage businesses in all 34 Katsina LGAs, at the same price and turnaround time.
