What Your ₦35,500 Covers

We handle the full Business Name registration for plastic and polythene businesses in Enugu for ₦35,500 all-inclusive, covering the government filing fee and our service fee together — the option that fits most independent traders, small manufacturers and recyclers starting out, giving you a properly registered business without the extra structure many don’t yet need (a Limited Liability Company registration is also available at ₦65,500 all-inclusive, worth considering once you’re manufacturing at scale or bringing in business partners).

• Business name availability search
• 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

Want the Limited Liability Company instead? For ₦65,500 all-inclusive you get everything above plus your Memorandum and Articles of Association (Memart) and personal liability protection — worth it once you’re manufacturing at scale or supplying under contract to larger buyers. See the comparison below.

What Falls Outside This Registration

• Physical/printed copies of your certificate (delivered as soft copy; you print locally whenever convenient)
• National Environmental Standards and Regulations Enforcement Agency (NESREA) compliance, for plastic waste and manufacturing effluent
• Standards Organisation of Nigeria (SON) compliance, for plastic product quality and safety standards
• State-level single-use plastic regulations and permits, which Enugu has been actively developing
• NAFDAC registration, if your plastic packaging is used for food or pharmaceutical products
• Business bank account opening, done with your chosen bank once your certificate is in hand
• 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

For most plastic and polythene businesses in Enugu, a Business Name covers what’s needed to trade with retailers, manufacturers and institutional buyers under a properly registered name. Once you’re manufacturing at scale, supplying under long-term contracts, or bringing on investors, the Limited Liability Company structure tends to fit better — it separates your personal assets from the business. You can start with a Business Name and convert later.

Documents to Have Ready

You most likely already have these ready:

1. Two proposed business names, ranked by preference
2. A valid means of ID — National ID (NIN), international passport, or driver’s license
3. A passport photograph
4. Your business address in Enugu — indicating the LGA
5. Phone number and email address
6. Nature of business — described simply, e.g. “plastic and polythene manufacturing,” “plastic goods trading,” or “plastic recycling and waste collection”
7. If you choose Limited Liability Company instead: names, ID and details of directors and shareholders

Nothing here needs advance preparation. Send it across on WhatsApp whenever convenient, and we’ll match it to CAC’s requirements.

The Registration Timeline

1. Check name availability on CAC’s public search portal — handled on our end.
2. Reserve the name once availability is confirmed.
3. Complete the application with your business, director and Enugu address details.
4. Upload your ID and passport photograph — a phone photo is fine.
5. Pay the ₦35,500 filing fee, a one-time payment covering everything.
6. Receive your Certificate of Registration, TIN and Status Report, usually within 5–7 working days.

A State Actively Shaping Its Plastic Policy

Enugu isn’t leaving plastic policy to chance. In 2021, the state’s Commissioner for Environment met with sustainability group POP Nigeria to discuss the state’s strategy on reducing single-use plastics, including plans to establish a dedicated recycling company and enforce existing laws prohibiting indiscriminate waste disposal — a response to how badly plastic pollution worsens flooding and drainage problems during the rainy season. For a plastic or polythene business, this matters in a practical way: environmental compliance around plastic waste in Enugu isn’t just a boilerplate line item, it’s an area the state government has repeatedly said it intends to actively enforce and build recycling infrastructure around, which is worth factoring into how a plastics business here plans its operations from day one.

You Handle the Product — Let a Registered Name Back the Business

Running a plastic or polythene business means knowing your materials, managing supply reliably, and being a source that manufacturers, retailers and institutional buyers can depend on. CAC registration is the comparatively simple part, and it’s worth getting settled early: it’s the document that lets you open supplier and buyer accounts formally, under a properly recognised business name.

Beyond that first message and a single payment, there’s nothing left for you to chase up.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does CAC registration cost for a plastic or polythene business in Enugu? ₦35,500 all-inclusive, the same across all 17 LGAs. A Limited Liability Company registration is also available for ₦65,500 all-inclusive.

What do I actually get for the ₦35,500? Your name search and reservation, the completed CAC filing, the government processing fee, your Certificate of Registration, a Tax Identification Number, and a CAC Status Report confirming you’re active on the public register.

Is a Business Name enough for a plastic trading or manufacturing business? Yes — for most independent traders and small manufacturers, a Business Name establishes your legal business name and is the main registration you need to start.

Can I register plastic manufacturing and recycling 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 several, for example plastic manufacturing and waste recycling.

Do I need NESREA compliance to register? NESREA compliance for plastic waste and effluent is separate from CAC registration and applies based on your manufacturing or recycling activity, not your business name registration.

Will this certificate help me open supplier accounts with manufacturers? Many manufacturers and institutional buyers ask for proof of business registration before setting up a supply account, so a CAC certificate is often the first document that opens that door.

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

Do you register businesses outside Enugu city? Yes — we register plastic and polythene businesses in all 17 Enugu LGAs, at the same price and turnaround time.

What if my proposed business name isn’t available? Just send a backup name and we’ll check it right away. Having two or three ready in advance keeps things moving smoothly.

How do I start right now? Send us a WhatsApp message with your preferred business name whenever you have a free minute. No forms, no appointment, no pressure — we’ll begin the availability check as soon as we hear from you.
