Here’s Exactly What You’re Paying For

Your ₦35,500 is one payment for the whole Business Name registration. CAC’s government fee and our service fee are both inside it, so no extra charge turns up after you’ve paid. Should you want to begin as a company instead, a Limited Liability Company costs ₦65,500, also all-inclusive.

Outside the Scope of This Registration

A CAC certificate gives your drinks business a legal name. It does not make your products legal to sell, because beverages sit under their own regulators. Plan for these separately:

NAFDAC registration of your products. Juices, soft drinks, water and similar beverages are registered product by product through NAFDAC’s online portal, and registration is renewed periodically. A different size or flavour usually needs its own registration.
NAFDAC inspection and laboratory testing of your production facility and samples, with the fees that go with them.
Trademark registration for your brand name, which NAFDAC may ask about when you apply for product registration.
Standards Organisation of Nigeria (SON) requirements, where they apply to your type of product.
Environmental-health, waste and water-quality requirements for your production premises, set by state and local authorities.
Extra rules if any of your drinks are alcoholic, since alcoholic beverages carry additional regulation beyond the food-and-drink rules.
Printed copies of your certificate (it arrives as a soft copy you can print locally)
Business bank account opening, done with your chosen bank once the certificate is in hand
Tax obligations that apply to your operation at state and federal level
Annual returns with CAC in later years, a small separate step we can also help with

Business Name vs. Limited Liability Company

	Business Name	Limited Liability Company
All-inclusive cost	₦35,500	₦65,500
Personal liability protection	No	Yes
Documents received	Certificate + Status Report + TIN	Certificate + Status Report + Memart + TIN
Best for	Juice bars, small-batch producers, depots and solo drink sellers	Bottling plants, producers with partners or investors, and growing distributors

A Business Name suits you when you are the sole owner, producing in small batches or reselling, and you need a legal name for invoices, a bank account and supplier dealings. A Limited Liability Company becomes the sensible choice when you are putting machinery and a factory floor behind the brand, sharing ownership, or taking on investors, because the business then stands apart from your personal assets. Plenty of drink businesses start with a Business Name and convert later.

Before You Reach Out

Two proposed business names, ranked by preference
A valid means of ID — National ID (NIN), international passport, or driver’s license
A passport photograph
Your business address in Ogun State — with the LGA
Phone number and email address
Nature of business — kept simple, e.g. “fruit juice production and sales” or “beverage distribution and wholesale”
If you choose Limited Liability Company instead: names, ID and details of directors and shareholders

From Message to Certificate

Check name availability on CAC’s public search portal — done on our side.
Reserve the name as soon as it’s confirmed available.
Complete the application using your business, owner and Ogun address details.
Upload your ID and passport photograph — a clear phone photo works.
Pay the ₦35,500 filing fee, a single payment covering everything listed above.
Receive your Certificate of Registration, TIN and Status Report, normally within 5–7 working days.

Once you’ve sent your details and paid, the remaining steps run on our side until your certificate arrives.

Where Ogun’s Drinks Trade Meets the Paperwork

Ogun State has a deep drinks industry, and it is easy to see why. The Sango-Ota area is one of Nigeria’s biggest industrial concentrations, sitting right beside Lagos, and Nigerian Breweries runs two breweries in the state, at Ota and at Ijebu-Ode. The Ota plant carries a PET line built to widen the company’s non-alcoholic range. That means large-scale bottling, crates, depots and distributors are part of everyday life across the state, and smaller juice, water and traditional-drink businesses trade in the same market.

For a small producer in that market, the order of paperwork matters. NAFDAC treats beverages as a regulated food category, covering juices, soft drinks and packaged water among others, and each product is registered individually. Applications are made online, and guides to the process consistently list proof of your business’s registration among the first requirements. That is where this CAC registration fits: it gives you the registered name to apply under, and the rest of the approvals build on it. Because NAFDAC’s requirements for what kind of registration suits your product can change, confirm the current position for your product category before you apply. Tell us what you plan to make and we’ll say plainly whether a Business Name or a company fits your plans.

Cold Drinks, Long Days

Drinks don’t wait for office hours. Fruit arrives on the day it’s ripe and has to be washed, pressed, strained and chilled before it turns. Crates need to be stacked, ice has to last, bottles and sachets are always running low, and the depot or the event hall wants delivery by morning. Between supplier calls and the next production run, a CAC portal is the last thing you want to open. Registering your business name is the one task here that someone else can carry from start to finish. When it’s done, your brand has a recognised legal name for invoices, supplier accounts and the registration forms that follow.

You’ll Probably Like Working With Us If…

Different business owners want different things from an agent — this is who we serve best:

You’re squeezing in CAC’s portal between a fruit delivery, a production run and a depot call — you’d rather the filing be done while the juice is still chilling.
You’re aiming past roadside and market sales — toward supermarket shelves, event caterers, schools or a distributor’s depot — and want a registered name for the paperwork those buyers ask for.
You want a recommendation that fits your size — not the biggest package by default.
You’d rather not chase anyone — one message starts it, and the price you’re quoted is the price you pay.

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 beverage or fruit juice business in Ogun State? ₦35,500 all-inclusive for a Business Name, the same wherever in Ogun State you operate. A Limited Liability Company is ₦65,500 all-inclusive.

What do I get for the ₦35,500? Everything needed to get your drinks business on the register: name search and reservation, the CAC filing and its government fee, a soft-copy Certificate of Registration, a TIN and a CAC Status Report.

Is a Business Name enough to start a juice or drink business? For most owner-run operations, a Business Name gives you the legal name you need to begin trading, invoicing and banking. Product approvals are a separate matter.

Does CAC registration replace NAFDAC registration? No. NAFDAC registers beverage products individually, and that is its own process. CAC registration gives your business the registered name that product applications are made under.

Do zobo, kunu and other local drinks need NAFDAC too? Packaged drinks of this kind are generally treated as beverages, so NAFDAC rules are likely to apply once you sell them packaged. Confirm the current requirement for your specific drink.

If I only distribute other brands’ drinks, do I need NAFDAC registration? Generally the manufacturer holds the registration for products that already carry a NAFDAC number. Your own branded products would need their own. Check with NAFDAC for your exact arrangement.

Can a juice bar or smoothie shop be registered the same way? Yes. A walk-in outlet is registered as a Business Name like any other business, and its premises may have separate local approvals.

Can I register juice, water and soft drinks under one name? Yes. Describe the nature of business broadly. Each product you later register with NAFDAC is handled on its own.

Will a CAC certificate help me supply supermarkets, schools or distributors? Buyers often want proof that you are a registered business before they place regular orders, so the certificate is useful. It does not guarantee any order.

I make my drinks at home. Can I still register? You need a business address in Ogun State and its LGA for the application. Whether a home site is suitable for production is a separate question for the relevant regulators.

Do you register businesses outside Abeokuta and Sango-Ota? Yes. We register beverage businesses across all of Ogun State, from Idiroko and Ilaro to Ijebu Ode and Sagamu, at the same price and turnaround.

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

Is the TIN included? Yes. Your Tax Identification Number comes with the ₦35,500, alongside the certificate and status report.

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

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

Can I upgrade from a Business Name to a Limited Liability Company later? Yes. Many drink businesses start with a Business Name and convert when machinery, partners or investors come in. We can assist with the conversion.

When does it make sense to start with a Limited Liability Company? If you’re building a bottling or processing facility, sharing ownership, or an investor wants a company structure, the Limited Liability Company route is worth considering from day one.

Should I trademark my brand name as well? That’s a separate process from CAC registration. NAFDAC may ask about trademark protection for your brand during product registration, so it’s worth planning for. Registering the business name first is usually the sensible starting point.
