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 | Individual traders, small producers and scrap collectors | Manufacturers with machinery, bulk suppliers to mills and distributors, or businesses with partners |
A Business Name gives most plastic traders and small producers what they need to take orders, issue invoices and deal with suppliers under a proper trading name. If you invest in production machinery, supply mills or distributors on regular contracts, or take on partners, a Limited Liability Company separates your personal assets from the business and adds a Memorandum and Articles of Association (Memart). You can start with a Business Name and convert later.
What to Have on Hand
- Two proposed business names, ranked by preference
- A valid ID: National ID (NIN), international passport or driver’s license
- A passport photograph
- Your business address in Kebbi State, with the LGA named
- A phone number and email address
- A short description of your business, such as “polythene bag production and sales” or “plastic goods wholesale and recycling”
- If you choose a Limited Liability Company: names, ID and details of all directors and shareholders
None of this needs advance preparation. Send what you have on WhatsApp whenever it suits you, and we’ll check it against CAC’s requirements.

- We check availability of your proposed name on CAC’s public portal.
- We reserve the name as soon as it clears.
- We prepare and file the application with your business, owner and Kebbi address details.
- You send your ID and passport photograph over WhatsApp.
- You pay ₦35,500, one payment that covers everything.
- We deliver your Certificate of Registration, TIN and Status Report, usually within 5–7 working days.
Six steps, and only two of them involve you — everything else runs on our end.
Packaging for the Rice Capital
Kebbi is widely described as Nigeria’s largest rice-producing state, and its rice economy is built around bags. Farmers sell paddy by the bag, and large mills such as Labana Rice Mills in Birnin Kebbi and WACOT Rice in Argungu process the harvest and ship it out. Irrigation allows rice to be grown in more than one season, so demand for sacks, liners and retail packaging recurs through the year. Industry guides note that woven polypropylene sacks dominate bulk rice sales because they are cheap and strong, while laminated films and LDPE bags are used for smaller retail packs. That gives Kebbi’s plastic and polythene businesses a steady customer base in grain and produce, alongside household goods, containers and building and irrigation supplies. Mills, traders and input suppliers often want to know who they are buying from, and a CAC certificate in your business name is a simple way to answer that.
Serving All 21 Kebbi LGAs
Price, requirements and turnaround are the same wherever your business is based. We regularly register plastic and polythene businesses in:
- Rice-farming LGAs: Argungu, Augie, Birnin Kebbi, Bagudo, Bunza, Dandi, Jega, Kalgo, Koko/Besse, Maiyama, Ngaski, Shanga, Suru and Yauri
- Other LGAs: Aliero, Arewa, Danko/Wasagu, Fakai, Gwandu, Sakaba and Zuru
If your business is in any of Kebbi’s 21 Local Government Areas, you’re covered.
Margins, Gauge and Getting It Right
Plastic is a tight-margin trade. Thickness, colour and seal quality all affect what a customer will pay, scrap has to be sorted properly, and a late delivery can lose you a regular buyer. You already know where your money is made. Registration won’t change how you buy resin or price a bale of nylon, but it gives you something to show when a mill, a distributor or a bank wants to know who they’re dealing with. Many bulk buyers prefer suppliers they can identify, and your registered name lets them do that.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does CAC registration cost for a plastic or polythene business in Kebbi State? ₦35,500 all-inclusive for a Business Name, the same in all 21 LGAs. A Limited Liability Company is ₦65,500 all-inclusive.
What do I get for the ₦35,500? Your name search and reservation, the completed CAC filing, the government fee, a soft-copy Certificate of Registration, a TIN, and a CAC Status Report confirming your business is active.
Is a Business Name enough for a plastic trading or polythene business? For most independent traders, small producers and suppliers, yes. It gives you a legally recognised trading name, and you can upgrade later as your business grows.
I sell plastic goods from a shop or stall. Can I still register? Yes. You need a business address in Kebbi State with the LGA stated, and that can be your shop, stall, warehouse or home.
Can I register polythene production and plastic goods sales under one name? Yes. A single registration covers your business as a whole, and you can describe your activities broadly enough to include both.
Should I choose a Business Name or a Limited Liability Company? A Business Name suits most people starting out. A company fits better when you invest in production machinery, supply on regular contracts or have partners.
When should I move to a Limited Liability Company? Usually when you buy machinery, start supplying mills or distributors in volume, or an investor or large buyer specifically asks for a company.
Does CAC registration cover manufacturing? CAC registers the business and its name. Production-specific requirements, such as product standards and environmental rules, are handled separately.
Do I need NAFDAC approval for my packaging? It can apply where packaging is meant for food or drink contact. NAFDAC rules are separate from CAC registration, so check them for your products.
Do SON requirements apply to plastic products? SON standards and conformity assessment can apply to locally made and imported products. They are separate from CAC registration.
Are there environmental rules for plastic production or waste? Yes. Production sites and waste handling can fall under environmental regulation, including NESREA’s requirements. These are separate from CAC registration.
Can I register a plastic scrap collection or recycling business? Yes. Recyclers and scrap collectors register the same way as other businesses. Just describe your nature of business clearly, and arrange any waste-handling permits separately.
Will the certificate help me supply mills and bulk buyers? Many mills and bulk buyers like to know who they’re buying from, and some ask for proof of registration before opening an account.
Can I open a business bank account with the certificate? Yes. A CAC certificate is one of the main documents banks require, along with your ID and other details.
I import raw materials or finished plastic goods. Does this cover imports? No. The certificate gives you a registered business to import under, but customs and import procedures are separate.
I’m far from Birnin Kebbi. Do I need to come in person? No. We register plastic and polythene businesses in all 21 LGAs, and the whole process runs over WhatsApp, so there’s no office visit and the price is the same wherever you are.
What if my first-choice name is taken? Send a backup name and we’ll check it straight away. Having two or three ready in advance keeps things moving.
Can I convert to a Limited Liability Company later? Yes. Many businesses start with a Business Name and convert as machinery, contracts or partners are added, and we can help with that conversion when the time comes.
Do I receive a printed certificate? We send a soft copy on WhatsApp, and you print it locally whenever you need a hard copy.
