What’s Included in the ₦35,500

Your ₦35,500 is a single payment for a beverage or juice business anywhere in Ondo State. CAC’s government fee and our service fee are folded into that figure, so you won’t see extra charges later. If you’d rather begin as a company, a Limited Liability Company is ₦65,500, also all-inclusive.

• Preparation and submission of your CAC Business Name application
• CAC’s government filing and processing fee
• Certificate of Registration (soft copy)
• Tax Identification Number (TIN)
• CAC Status Report confirming your business as active on the public register

What’s Not Usually Included

• Printed copies of your certificate — we send a soft copy on WhatsApp, and you print it locally
• NAFDAC registration of your products and, where it applies, of your production premises
• Product labelling that meets NAFDAC’s requirements, including your product registration number once you have one
• SON standards requirements where they apply to your product, such as packaged water
• Food-handler hygiene and premises inspection requirements from state and local health authorities
• Testing of your water source and the safety of your production process
• Local government approvals for your production site, shop or kiosk

• Annual returns in future years — a small, separate step we can help with when due

Choosing Between a Business Name and a Company for Your Drinks Business

If you produce on a small scale or run a bar, kiosk or depot yourself, a Business Name will usually be enough to trade, invoice and bank under. A company becomes worth thinking about once you have a proper production line, equipment worth protecting, partners who share ownership, or an investor asking for a company structure. Many drinks businesses start with a Business Name and convert as they grow.

What Ondo’s Processing Push and NAFDAC Mean for Your Drinks Business

Ondo is a state where agriculture and processing meet. At Ile Oluji, Premium Cocoa Products (Ile-Oluji) Limited is described as one of the larger cocoa processors in West Africa, and its consumer products include a cocoa powder sold under the Oluji name. Ondo is also among the states covered by Phase II of the federal Special Agro-Industrial Processing Zones (SAPZ) programme, which lists agro-processing hubs and skills development for micro, small and medium enterprises among its planned outputs. Whether any programme is open to your business depends on that programme’s own criteria, and a CAC certificate does not guarantee a place in one. A registered name does give you a proper identity to apply under.

For anyone making drinks, the regulatory line that matters most is NAFDAC. The agency has said that it regulates processed and semi-processed foods rather than raw farm produce. Squeezing fruit and selling it fresh is a different proposition from bottling, sealing and labelling juice, zobo or kunu for sale, which is where NAFDAC’s registration and labelling requirements generally come in. Confirm which side of that line your product falls on before you scale up. CAC registration does not cover NAFDAC approval.

Your Hands Are Full of Fruit, Not Forms

There’s a rhythm to a drinks business that doesn’t leave a gap for paperwork: fruit to buy and sort at dawn, washing and pressing, bottles to fill and seal, a cooler to load before the delivery run, and customers who want today’s batch cold. The registration form is easy to promise yourself you’ll do on a quieter day, and quiet days don’t come. Pass it on and your business ends up with a registered name that appears on invoices, supplier accounts and bank forms, while you keep the juice flowing.

A Good Match If…

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

• Your mornings go on fruit runs, washing and pressing, filling bottles and loading a cooler for deliveries — CAC’s portal never fits between the squeezing and the dispatch.
• You’re stepping up from a juice stand or a few cases of bottled drinks — toward shop supply, office and event orders, or a small production line with your own label.
• 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’d rather not chase anyone — one message starts it, and the price you’re quoted is the price you pay.

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 juice business in Ondo State? ₦35,500 all-inclusive for a Business Name, in any LGA. A Limited Liability Company is ₦65,500 all-inclusive.

What comes with the ₦35,500? The name check and reservation, the completed CAC filing, the government fee, your Certificate of Registration (soft copy), a TIN and a CAC Status Report.

Is a Business Name enough for a juice business? For most owner-run juice bars, home producers and small depots, yes. It gives you a registered name to trade, invoice and bank under.

Can juice bars, zobo sellers and water producers register? Yes. Any beverage business can be registered the same way. Describe what you make or sell when you send your details.

Does CAC registration replace NAFDAC approval? No. It gives your business a registered name. Registering and labelling packaged products is handled with NAFDAC separately.

I only squeeze fresh juice and sell it on the spot. Do I need NAFDAC? NAFDAC has said it regulates processed and semi-processed foods rather than raw produce, but the line can depend on how you prepare and package what you sell. Ask NAFDAC about your product before you scale up.

Will my CAC certificate be needed for NAFDAC registration? NAFDAC’s product registration process asks for business documents, and a CAC certificate is typically among them. Check NAFDAC’s current checklist, since requirements can change.

Can I register a business that operates from home? Yes. Use the address where the business is based or produces, with its LGA.

Can I sell juice and sachet water under one name? Yes. Describe the business broadly, such as “production and sale of beverages and packaged water”. Each product may have its own approvals.

I distribute other companies’ drinks. Can I register as a depot? Yes. Describe the nature of the business as drinks distribution or wholesale supply.

Can a cocoa drink or hot beverage business be registered? Yes. It is registered like any other beverage business.

Will a certificate help me supply shops, offices or events? Buyers often ask for proof of registration before placing regular orders, so the certificate is a useful document to have. It doesn’t guarantee any order.

Does one registration cover several product lines? One registration covers your business as a whole, so you can describe all your drinks in one description. Product-level approvals are separate.

Can I open a second production or sales site later? You can operate more than one site under one registration. Premises-level approvals for each site are separate.

Do you register businesses outside Akure? Yes. We cover all of Ondo State, from the Akoko towns to Ilaje and Okitipupa, at the same price and turnaround.

Will registration qualify me for government agro-processing programmes? It gives you a registered identity to apply under, but each programme has its own criteria and nothing is guaranteed.

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

Is the TIN included? Yes, your Tax Identification Number comes with the ₦35,500.

Do I have to file anything with CAC after registration? Registered businesses file annual returns. It’s a small, separate step, and we can help when it’s due.

What if my first-choice name is taken? Send a backup and we’ll check it straight 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 drinks businesses begin with a Business Name and convert as they grow, and we can assist with the conversion.

When does it make sense to start as a Limited Liability Company? If you’re setting up a bottling plant, sharing ownership with partners, or an investor requires a company structure, it’s worth considering from day one.
