Osun State has pineapples and oranges growing across its farmland, juice depots and market stalls in Osogbo, and a steady stream of small-batch drink makers selling everything from zobo to bottled juice. If you make, bottle, blend or distribute drinks here, putting the business under its own registered name is the first piece of paperwork worth sorting out. Onelove Business Ventures is a CAC-accredited agent. We run the name search, file the application and collect your certificate, wherever in Osun State you operate. A Business Name registration costs ₦35,500, all-inclusive. Message us your business name on WhatsApp and the rest stays with us — you won’t be asked for anything beyond that.

Here’s Exactly What You’re Paying For
The ₦35,500 is one payment for your Osun State beverage business. CAC’s filing fee and our service fee are both inside it, and nothing is added afterwards. If you would rather start as a company, a Limited Liability Company is ₦65,500, also all-inclusive.
- A check that your chosen business name is free to use
- Reservation of the name once it clears
- Preparation and submission of your CAC Business Name application
- CAC’s government filing fee
- Your Certificate of Registration, as a soft copy
- Your Tax Identification Number (TIN)
- A CAC Status Report showing your business is active on the public register
Outside the Scope of This Registration
- NAFDAC product registration — packaged drinks, including juice and bottled water, need their own NAFDAC registration before they can be sold. It is a separate application, and your CAC certificate is one of the documents it asks for.
- NAFDAC premises inspection and lab analysis — production premises are inspected, and each product needs a certificate of analysis from a laboratory.
- Label approval — NAFDAC vets product labels and has its own layout rules.
- Advertising permit — a NAFDAC product registration does not automatically include permission to advertise the product.
- SON quality certification — where a locally made product falls under the Standards Organisation of Nigeria’s schemes.
- State and local approvals for your production site — health, environmental and waste-handling requirements for juice-making, bottling and water premises.
- Alcohol licensing — if you sell wine, spirits or beer, the licences for that are handled with the relevant authorities and not through CAC.
- Trademark registration — optional, and worth considering for a brand name you plan to put on bottles.
- Tax obligations — ongoing tax filings and obligations beyond the TIN you receive.
- Business bank account — opened with your chosen bank once your certificate is ready.
- Printed copies of your certificate — we send a soft copy; print it locally whenever you need one.
- Annual returns — a small separate step in later years that we can also help with.
Business Name or 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, drink resellers, small-batch makers and depots | Bottling operations, producers with partners, and anyone courting investors |
A Business Name usually does the job for a one-person or family operation: a juice bar, a depot, a zobo or kunu business, a small supplier. A Limited Liability Company becomes the better fit once production grows, ownership is shared, or investors are involved, because the business then stands separate from your personal assets. If you plan to manufacture packaged products for supermarkets, check with NAFDAC which structure it expects for your product and scale, since some applicants choose a company from the start. Many owners begin with a Business Name and upgrade 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 Osun State — including the LGA
- Phone number and email address
- Nature of business — described plainly, e.g. “fruit juice production and beverage distribution” or “zobo, kunu and soft drink retail”
- If you choose a 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 — we do this for you.
- Reserve the name once it is confirmed available.
- Complete the application with your business details and Osun State address.
- Upload your ID and passport photograph — a clear phone photo works.
- Pay the ₦35,500, a single payment that covers everything listed above.
- Receive your Certificate of Registration, TIN and Status Report, normally within 5–7 working days.
Past the opening message and one payment, nothing else lands on your desk until the certificate arrives.
Osun’s Fruit Belt and What Comes With Selling a Packaged Drink
Osun is a fruit-growing state, and its government has said so in public. When it flagged off construction of a fruit juice plant at the Omoluabi Free Trade Zone in Osogbo, built by Collins Crown Limited, the state pointed to pineapple in Ejigbo, Irepodun and Ifelodun, and oranges in the Ife/Ijesha and Iwo areas. It also said large quantities of produce go to waste every year, and that a processing plant would put that fruit to use. It added that the Osun Investment and Promotion Agency (OSIPA) had been set up to deal with investors. A published study of pineapple farmers in the state names fruit perishability among their main difficulties, which is why so much of the opportunity lies in turning fruit into juice quickly.
Whether you press fruit for a small shop or plan something larger, the same national rule applies: packaged beverages and juices must be registered with NAFDAC before they are sold, and that application asks for proof that your business is registered with CAC. Registration with NAFDAC is a distinct process with its own inspection and lab steps. Getting your CAC name sorted first means that when you are ready to apply, one of the documents is already in your hands.
Registering Beverage Businesses Across Osun State
The price, requirements and turnaround are the same wherever you operate. We register beverage and fruit juice businesses in every part of Osun State, including the areas below.
Osogbo and the central belt
- Osogbo and Olorunda — juice depots, drink wholesalers and bottled-water sellers around the state capital
- Orolu, Irepodun and Ilobu — small producers and distributors supplying neighbouring towns
- Ifelodun and Ikirun — pineapple country and a busy trading town on the same stretch
- Boripe and Otan Ayegbaju — drink sellers serving local markets and roadside stalls
- Boluwaduro, Ifedayo and Ila Orangun — kunu, zobo and soft drink businesses in smaller towns
- Odo Otin and Inisa — depots and shops stocking drinks for the surrounding communities
Ife, Ilesa and the east
- Ife Central, Ife East, Ife North and Ife South — juice bars, smoothie spots and drink suppliers in a student-heavy university town
- Modakeke — neighbourhood drink businesses and bottle shops
- Ilesa East and Ilesa West — wholesalers and juice sellers serving the Ijesha area

If your beverage business is anywhere in Osun State, we can register it.
Fresh Fruit, Cold Drinks and Paperwork That Waits Its Turn
A juice business runs on a clock the paperwork doesn’t respect: fruit that must be pressed before it spoils, bottles that have to be washed and filled, ice and refrigeration to keep up with, and a generator to keep running when power drops. Dry-season afternoons and festival crowds bring the heaviest demand, and that is exactly when nobody has time for an online portal. Registering the business name is a task we can take off that pile completely. When it is done, the name you sell under is the same one on your invoices, your supplier agreements and your bank account.
A Good Match If…
Before you decide, here’s an honest look at who gets the most from our service:
- You’re juggling fruit deliveries, bottle-washing and crate loading, and CAC’s portal is a job you’d rather hand off than squeeze in between batches.
- You’re starting with zobo, kunu or small-batch juice sold locally, and you can see yourself supplying shops, depots or supermarkets in Osogbo, Ile-Ife and beyond — perhaps with a NAFDAC-registered range later.
- You prefer being told what you actually need — if the Business Name does the job today, we’ll leave the company route for when it’s worth it.
- You want things kept simple — your details, one payment, your certificate.
If that sounds like you, send your business name and we’ll get started.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does CAC registration cost for a beverage or fruit juice business in Osun State? ₦35,500 all-inclusive for a Business Name, the same wherever you are in Osun. A Limited Liability Company is ₦65,500 all-inclusive.
What do I get for the ₦35,500? The name search and reservation, the completed CAC filing, the government fee, your Certificate of Registration (soft copy), a TIN and a CAC Status Report.
Can I register if I make zobo, kunu or other traditional drinks at home? Yes. Describe the nature of the business plainly, such as “zobo and kunu production and sales”. What matters for the application is a business name, your details and an address in Osun State.
Does CAC registration give me a NAFDAC number? No. NAFDAC registration is a separate application for each packaged product. CAC registration gives you the registered business that applies for it.
Do I need CAC registration before applying to NAFDAC? NAFDAC’s application asks for proof of your business registration, so having the certificate ready is a sensible first step. Confirm the current document list with NAFDAC before you apply.
Is a Business Name enough for NAFDAC, or should I register a company? For a juice bar, depot or small seller, a Business Name is usually enough to start. If you plan to manufacture packaged products for retail, check which structure NAFDAC expects for your product, because some applicants go straight to a Limited Liability Company.
I only resell drinks. Do I still need registration? A registered name helps with invoices, supplier accounts and banking. The drinks you stock should already carry their own NAFDAC numbers from the manufacturer.
Can I sell alcoholic drinks under the same registration? You can describe your business broadly, but selling alcohol typically needs its own licence, handled separately from CAC.
Is the TIN included? Yes. A Tax Identification Number is part of what you receive for the ₦35,500.
Does my business address have to be a production site? No. The CAC application needs a business address in Osun State with the LGA. Inspections of production premises belong to later regulatory steps.
Can I register a juice bar and a bottling business under one name? Yes. Describe the nature of business broadly. Each activity may need its own approvals later.
Do you register businesses outside Osogbo? Yes. We handle beverage businesses across Osun State, from Iwo and Ede to Ilesa and Ife, at the same price and turnaround.
Can I open a business bank account with the certificate? Yes. A CAC certificate is one of the main documents banks ask for, 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 straight away. Having two or three options ready keeps things moving.
Do I need to file anything with CAC in later years? Registered businesses have annual returns to file. It is a small, separate step, and we can help when the time comes.
Can I upgrade from a Business Name to a Limited Liability Company later? Yes. Many beverage businesses start with a Business Name and convert as production grows or partners join. We can help with the conversion.
When does it make sense to start with a Limited Liability Company? If you are building a bottling operation, sharing ownership with partners, or an investor wants a company structure, the Limited Liability Company route is worth considering from day one.
How will I receive my certificate? As a soft copy on WhatsApp. You print the hard copy locally whenever you need one.
