CAC Business Name Registration for Poultry Farm in Lagos State

If you keep layers or broilers, raise pigs, goats or other livestock, run a hatchery, or sell animal feed anywhere in Lagos State, registering your business name with CAC is a small job that we can take off your hands. Onelove Business Ventures is an accredited CAC agent. We handle the name search, the filing and the certificate for you, whether your pens are in the city or out toward the state’s farming belts. Send your business name on WhatsApp and consider it handled — that’s genuinely the extent of what’s asked of you.

Why Lagos Poultry and Livestock Farmers Are Being Counted

Feed is the biggest cost in animal farming, and Lagos has built a programme around it. Under the Ounje Eko Farmers’ Subsidy Programme, the state’s Ministry of Agriculture and Food Systems offers a 25% subsidy on poultry feed (layer mash, broiler starter and finisher) and on fish feed. State officials say feed accounts for over 70% of production costs. In the first phase, the state reported supplying more than 993 metric tons of poultry feed, enough to sustain around 258,000 layer birds and produce over seven million eggs. Distribution points have included the Farm Service Centre at Oko-Oba in Agege, the Erikorodo Poultry Estate in Ikorodu and the Aiyedoto Poultry Estate in Ojo.

The second phase was announced with a condition that matters to any serious farmer. Participation was to be open only to registered and recognised farmer associations, such as the Poultry Association of Nigeria, Lagos State Chapter (PAN-LAG), and farm estate and settlement associations, so that the programme stays transparent and accountable. A CAC registration is not the same thing as membership of an association, and it does not guarantee a place in any programme. What it does give you is a registered business to bring to the table when you join an association, deal with feed suppliers or apply for anything that requires proof of identity. Programme terms can change, so check the current rules with the Ministry or your association.

The Full Breakdown of Your ₦35,500

Your ₦35,500 is one all-inclusive payment for a poultry or livestock business in Lagos, with CAC’s own fee and our service fee already added together. A Business Name keeps things simple for most farmers. A Limited Liability Company is also available at ₦65,500, all-inclusive, if you want to begin as a company.

• 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

Business Name vs. Limited Liability Company

A Business Name gives most poultry and livestock farmers a legal name to sell, invoice and bank under. A Limited Liability Company becomes the better fit when your flock grows to commercial scale, you start supplying distributors or institutions in volume, or you take on partners and investors, since it keeps your personal assets separate from the business. You can start with a Business Name and convert later.

What to Have on Hand

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 Lagos State — indicating the LGA
5. Phone number and email address
6. Nature of business — described simply, e.g. “poultry farming and egg supply” or “livestock rearing and feed sales”
7. If you choose Limited Liability Company instead: names, ID and details of directors and shareholders

How We Get You Registered

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 Lagos address details.
4. Upload your ID and passport photograph — a phone photo is fine.
5. Pay the ₦35,500 filing fee, one payment that covers everything above.
6. Receive 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.

Separate From This Registration

• Animal health, vaccination and movement requirements, including federal veterinary and pest control rules where they apply
• Slaughter, dressing and meat-handling requirements, including use of approved slaughter facilities
• NAFDAC registration for processed or packaged animal products sold under your own label
• Land documents, tenancy and land-use charges for the farm site, plus any local planning rules on keeping animals at your location
• Environmental and waste requirements for manure, litter, wastewater and disposal of dead birds or animals
• 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

Registering Livestock and Poultry Businesses Across Lagos

Price, requirements and turnaround stay the same wherever your farm or shop is based. We register animal husbandry businesses in all of the areas below.

• Epe, Badagry and Ibeju-Lekki — farms and livestock businesses on the state’s outer edges
• Alimosho, Ikotun/Igando, Egbe-Idimu and Abule-Egba — poultry and livestock keepers across the western suburbs

Ikeja and the northern mainland

• Ikeja, Maryland, Ojodu, Ojota and Magodo — feed sellers, egg suppliers and farm businesses around the state capital
• Ifako-Ijaye, Kosofe and Agboyi/Ketu — farmers and traders on the northern mainland

Central mainland

If your farm, pen or shop is anywhere in Lagos State, you’re covered.

The Birds Don’t Wait for the Paperwork

Animal farming runs on routines that can’t be skipped: early feeding, water checks, vaccination schedules, egg collection, and the weekly effort to sell what you’ve produced before it spoils or costs more to keep. You already manage disease risk, feed prices and buyers who want better rates, and you do it without a day off. Registering your business name is the one job on that list that doesn’t need you on site. Once it’s done, your farm has a registered name for your invoices, your supplier accounts and your bank.

This Might Be a Great Fit If…

Different business owners want different things from an agent — this is who we serve best:

• You’d rather not leave a pen full of birds to chase CAC’s portal — feeding rounds, vaccinations and egg collection don’t wait for paperwork.
• You’re planning to grow your flock and your market — from selling at the farm gate to supplying egg distributors, restaurants and hotels, or joining a farmers’ association.
• You prefer being told what you actually need — if the Business Name does the job today, we’ll leave the company route for when it’s worth it.
• You want things kept simple — your details, one payment, your certificate.

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 poultry or livestock farm in Lagos State? ₦35,500 all-inclusive for a Business Name, the same wherever in Lagos you are. A Limited Liability Company is ₦65,500 all-inclusive.

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

Is a Business Name enough for a poultry farm? For most small and mid-sized farms, a Business Name gives you the legal name you need to start trading properly. Other approvals depend on your type of farm and are handled separately.

Can I register poultry, pigs and goats under one name? Yes. Describe your nature of business broadly, for example “poultry and livestock farming”, and one registration covers the whole business.

I keep a small number of birds in my compound. Can I still register? Yes. You need a business address in Lagos State and your LGA, and a farm, compound, shop or storage location can all work. Local rules on keeping animals at certain locations are separate.

Does CAC registration give me a veterinary or animal-health permit? No. It gives your business a legal name. Veterinary, vaccination and movement requirements are handled separately.

Will registering get me into the Ounje Eko feed subsidy? Not automatically. State announcements said the second phase was open to registered and recognised farmer associations, so selection depends on the programme’s rules. A CAC registration is a useful foundation, and it does not guarantee a place.

Do I need to join a farmers’ association? It isn’t a CAC requirement, but associations such as PAN-LAG have been named as channels for state support. Ask the association or the Ministry what they currently require.

Will a CAC certificate help me sell to restaurants, hotels or distributors? Larger buyers often ask for proof of registration before setting up a supply account, so the certificate is a useful document to have. It does not guarantee any order.

Do I need NAFDAC to sell eggs, meat or processed products? If you sell processed or packaged products under your own label, NAFDAC registration usually applies and is separate from CAC. Raw eggs and live birds are handled differently, so check your specific product.

Do I need to own the land my farm is on? CAC asks for a business address, not proof of land ownership. Land documents, tenancy and land-use charges are separate, so keep those in order with your landlord or the relevant authority.

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, along with your ID and other details.

Do you register farms outside Ikeja, like those in Ikorodu or Ojo? Yes. We register animal husbandry businesses across all of Lagos State at the same price and turnaround.

When should I switch from a Business Name to a Limited Liability Company? Usually when your flock reaches commercial scale, you begin supplying in bulk, or you bring in partners or investors.

Can I upgrade later without starting over? Yes. Many farms begin with a Business Name and convert as they grow. We can help with the conversion.

Is the TIN included? Yes. A Tax Identification Number is part of what you receive for the ₦35,500.

Do I have to file anything with CAC in later years? Registered businesses have annual returns to file. It is a small, separate step and we can help with it when the time comes.

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

Can I register a hatchery and a feed shop under the same name? Yes, describe your nature of business broadly. Any special approvals for hatching, selling drugs or handling feed are handled separately.
