Every Week Without a Certificate Is a Deal or Contract Going Somewhere Else
Right now, food processors and manufacturers buying palm oil or groundnut oil in bulk want a verified, registered supplier before committing. NAFDAC requires a registered business name before it will process product registration for any packaged or bottled oil. A bank or equipment supplier financing your milling machine or processing equipment checks for registration before releasing funds. Every month you delay registration is a month those deals and contracts go to a competitor who’s already registered.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does CAC business name registration cost for a palm oil or groundnut oil business in Akwa Ibom? ₦35,500 all-inclusive for a Business Name, ₦65,500 for a Limited Liability Company — CAC’s national pricing applies the same way whether you mill, process, or trade edible oils.
Can I register a palm oil milling business specifically? Yes — you’ll state your specific line of business, such as palm oil milling and processing, during registration, and it will be reflected on your certificate and CAC’s public register.
Do I need NAFDAC registration in addition to CAC registration? Yes, if you package or bottle oil for commercial sale under a brand name. CAC registration establishes your legal business name, which NAFDAC requires as a first step, but the product certification itself is a separate process handled outside this service. Unbranded bulk trading typically doesn’t require NAFDAC registration.
How long does registration take? Typically 5–7 working days when the application clears on the first submission.
What if my proposed business name isn’t available? You’ll submit a backup name — having two or three ready in advance avoids losing time to a second search.
Do I need an accredited agent to register? For a professional service and result, yes — using an accredited agent avoids the errors that commonly delay applications filed independently. We are a CAC-accredited agent, and we’ll handle your entire registration professionally, from name search through certificate delivery.
