What’s Included in the ₦35,500

Your ₦35,500 is a single all-inclusive payment. CAC’s filing fee and our service fee are both built in, and nothing is added afterwards. If you prefer to begin as a company, a Limited Liability Company is available at ₦65,500, all-inclusive.

• 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

What’s Not Usually Included

• Printed copies of your certificate (you receive a soft copy and can print it locally whenever convenient)
• SON standards and customs duties on imported gym machines, weights, balls, nets and sportswear, along with clearing-agent costs
• NAFDAC registration if you also sell supplements, protein products or energy drinks
• Any approval required if you operate a gym, fitness studio or training facility rather than only sell equipment, including how the state’s sports administration may treat such facilities as it develops (confirm the current position)
• Shop, warehouse and signage approvals and levies for your premises
• Safety for gym set-ups you install for clients, such as floor loading, electrical supply for treadmills and secure anchoring of heavy racks
• Consumer-protection duties on warranties, returns and honest product descriptions
• Insurance for stock, delivery vehicles and, if you run a facility, for members
• Business bank account opening, done with your chosen bank once your certificate is in hand
• Tax obligations beyond your TIN, and annual returns filing in later years — a small, separate step we can help with when it is due

Business Name vs. Limited Liability Company

A Business Name suits an owner-run shop or dealership selling to gyms, schools, clubs and individual buyers. A Limited Liability Company is worth considering once you import in container loads, run a large facility, bring in partners, or find that larger buyers prefer to deal with a company, because the business then stands apart from your personal assets. Plenty of dealers register a Business Name first and upgrade as turnover grows.

Osun Is Rebuilding Its Sports Infrastructure, and Equipment Follows Facilities

Sports in Osun State is in a period of rebuilding. Governor Ademola Adeleke has said the reconstruction of the Osogbo Township Stadium will take its capacity from 4,000 to 15,000 once complete, with plans mentioned publicly for an indoor sports hall, athletes’ hostels and pitches or courts for several other sports. The state has also announced an Osun Sports Trust Fund to raise money for sports development, and has said it is working to put a State Sports Commission into operation. In August 2026, the Osun chapter of the Sports Writers Association of Nigeria urged the government to speed up the stadium work.

For anyone who sells sports and fitness equipment, that matters in a practical way. New and refurbished facilities, school and club programmes and a growing interest in fitness create steady demand for balls, nets, weights, mats and training gear. Two cautions are worth stating. The project’s completion date is not confirmed, and plans do not equal purchase orders, so treat all of this as background rather than a promise of contracts. And CAC registration is not a supplier approval, a place on any government list or a sports-body licence. What it gives you is a registered name to quote, invoice and be paid under, which is usually the first thing a school bursar, club treasurer or facility manager asks to see.

Selling Fitness Gear Is a Lot of Lifting Before Anyone Lifts a Weight

Equipment is bulky, heavy and often arrives late. You are balancing a supplier’s delivery date against a gym owner’s opening day, keeping track of which plates went to which customer, answering the buyer who wants a quote for twenty footballs and a set of cones by Friday, and handling the one who wants the treadmill delivered and working the same afternoon. Registration should not join that pile. Passing it to us means the business that appears on your quotations, receipts and warranty cards has a proper registered name from day one.

A Good Match If…

Before you decide, here’s an honest look at who gets the most from our service:

• You’d rather not sort out CAC’s portal while a supplier’s truck is waiting to be unloaded, or between a gym owner’s calls about opening day — you want the paperwork finished while the stock keeps moving.
• You’re aiming past selling to individuals — towards equipping gyms, school sports programmes and clubs, repeat orders from facility managers, and a registered name that importers and suppliers take seriously.
• You want honest advice, not an upsell — if a Business Name covers your stage, that’s what we’ll recommend.
• You want a process without back-and-forth — send your details once, pay once, and there are no surprise charges afterwards.

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 sports or gym equipment business in Osun State? ₦35,500 all-inclusive for a Business Name, the same wherever in Osun you are based. A Limited Liability Company is ₦65,500 all-inclusive.

What do I get for the ₦35,500, and is the TIN included? The name search and reservation, the completed CAC filing, the government fee, your Certificate of Registration (soft copy), a Tax Identification Number and a CAC Status Report. The TIN is part of the same payment.

Is a Business Name enough for a sports shop or gym equipment dealer? For most owner-run shops and dealerships, yes. It gives you a registered name to trade, invoice and bank under. If you grow into large imports or bring in partners, you can move to a Limited Liability Company.

Can I register equipment sales, sportswear and fitness accessories under one name? Yes. Describe the nature of business broadly, for example “sports and fitness equipment, sportswear and accessories”, and one registration covers all of it.

I want to open a gym, not just sell equipment. Is registration enough? CAC registration gives your gym a registered business name, but it does not approve the premises or the operation. Check what facility or local approvals apply to a gym before you open.

Will a CAC certificate help me supply schools, clubs or sports facilities? Buyers often ask for proof that a supplier is registered before they place an order or pay an invoice, so the certificate is a useful document to have. It does not put you on any approved list and does not guarantee any contract.

Do I need SON or NAFDAC approval to sell sports and fitness products? That depends on what you sell. Imported equipment can involve SON standards and customs duties, and supplements or energy drinks may need NAFDAC registration. These are separate from CAC registration, so confirm what applies to your products.

Do you register businesses outside Osogbo and Ile-Ife? Yes. We register sports and fitness businesses across Osun State, from Ikirun and Ila Orangun to Iwo, Ilesa and Ejigbo, at the same price and turnaround.

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

Can I open a business bank account with the certificate, and what about annual filings? 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. Registered businesses also have annual returns to file in later years, which is a small, separate step we can help with when it is due.

Can I upgrade to a Limited Liability Company later, and when should I start with one? Yes, you can convert, and we can assist. Starting as a company makes sense if you plan to import in bulk, run a large facility, share ownership with partners, or an investor or large buyer requires a company structure.
