CAC Business Name Registration for Motor Vehicle Spare Parts Businesses in Cross River State

If you run a motor vehicle spare parts business anywhere in Cross River State — a new spare parts sales business, a used/Tokunbo spare parts sales business, an auto accessories and car gadgets business, a tyre and battery sales business, an engine and gearbox sales business, a body parts and panel sales business, or a spare parts import and wholesale business — registering it with CAC is one of the easiest things you’ll do all year. We at Onelove Business Ventures are an accredited agent, and we handle the entire process for you — search, filing, certificate — from wherever you are. You don’t need to visit an office, stand in a queue, or step away from your shop or store. All it takes is a short WhatsApp message with your preferred business name, and we take it from there.

Whether your business is in Abi, Akamkpa, Akpabuyo, Bakassi, Bekwarra, Biase, Boki, Calabar Municipal, Calabar South, Etung, Ikom, Obanliku, Obubra, Obudu, Odukpani, Ogoja, Yakurr, or Yala Local Government Area, the process and pricing are exactly the same. Cross River’s busy road corridors — Calabar’s city traffic, the Ikom–Ogoja highway, and cross-border trade near the Cameroon border — keep steady demand for spare parts across all 18 LGAs. A CAC certificate simply puts your existing business on paper, the way it should be. We handle the full registration for motor vehicle spare parts businesses in Cross River State for ₦35,500 all-inclusive, covering the government filing fee and our service fee together (a Limited Liability Company registration is ₦65,500 all-inclusive). The whole process runs online, and most clients have their certificate in about a week — with almost nothing required of you beyond that first message.

It really is this simple: send us your business name on WhatsApp, and we’ll handle everything else.

What’s Included in the ₦35,500

• Business name availability search
• Business name reservation
• Completion and submission of the CAC application
• CAC government filing/processing fee
• Your Certificate of Registration (soft copy)
• A CAC Status Report confirming your business is active on the public register

What’s Not Usually Included

• Physical/printed copies of your certificate (delivered as soft copy; you print locally whenever convenient)
• Tax Identification Number (TIN) registration for Business Names (included automatically for Limited Liability Companies at ₦65,500)
• SON product certification and import compliance for spare parts brought in from abroad, where applicable (handled separately, whenever you’re ready for it)
• NAFDAC or SON certification for battery and chemical-related products, where applicable (handled separately, whenever you’re ready for it)
• Customs and import documentation for businesses importing parts directly, where applicable (a separate step we can also help with)
• Market or trade association registration for shop/lock-up locations in spare parts markets, where applicable (a separate step we can also help with)
• Annual returns filing in future years — a small, separate step we can also help with when the time comes

Business Name vs. Limited Liability Company Cost

Most independent spare parts sellers and small shop owners just starting out find the Business Name option is more than enough to get properly registered without any extra complexity. Businesses planning to import parts directly, run a wholesale operation, or supply fleet operators and dealerships often prefer the Limited Liability Company route for the added protection and structure.

A Good Spare Parts Business Deserves a Registered Name Behind It

You already know your work — the sourcing, the stocking, the matching of the right part to the right car, the day-to-day running of the shop. That’s the hard part, and you’ve handled it well. Making it official with CAC is the easy part, and it’s the kind of small, sensible step that experienced spare parts dealers take in their stride — not because they’re worried about losing out, but because it’s simply the right box to tick once a business is real. It gives you something to point to when a customer, a mechanic, or a supplier asks, “are you registered?” — and lets you answer with a quiet yes.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does CAC business name registration cost for a spare parts business in Cross River? ₦35,500 all-inclusive for a Business Name, ₦65,500 for a Limited Liability Company — the same pricing across all 18 LGAs in Cross River State.

Can I register a Tokunbo (used) spare parts business specifically? Yes — you’ll simply state your specific line of business, such as sale of used/Tokunbo spare parts, and it will be reflected on your certificate and CAC’s public register.

Do I need import or customs documentation in addition to CAC registration? Not for CAC registration itself — that just establishes your legal business name. Customs and import documentation for parts brought in directly, and SON compliance checks, are separate steps you can look into whenever they become relevant to your business, and we’re happy to point you in the right direction when that time comes.

Can I register new parts, used parts and accessories under one business name? Yes — a single registration covers your business as a whole. You can describe your nature of business broadly enough to include all your spare parts and accessories lines.

Do you register businesses outside Calabar? Yes — we register motor vehicle spare parts businesses in all 18 Cross River LGAs, at the same price and turnaround time.

How long does registration take? Typically 5–7 working days, and there’s nothing further required from you once you’ve sent your details.

What if my proposed business name isn’t available? No trouble at all — just send a backup name and we’ll check it right away. Having two or three ready in advance keeps things moving smoothly.
