Business Name vs. Limited Liability Company Cost

Every Week Without a Certificate Is a Contract or Booking Going Somewhere Else

Right now, corporate clients outsourcing office catering want a verified, registered vendor before signing a service agreement. Event planners and wedding organizers booking caterers for large functions prefer registered businesses they can issue contracts to. A landlord leasing prime commercial space for a restaurant typically requires a registered business name on the tenancy agreement. Every month you delay registration is a month those contracts and bookings go to a competitor who’s already registered.

Stop losing contracts and bookings to a registered competitor. Send your proposed business name on WhatsApp now and we’ll check availability immediately.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does CAC business name registration cost for a restaurant or catering 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 run a restaurant, cater events, or offer food delivery.

Can I register an event catering business specifically? Yes — you’ll state your specific line of business, such as event and wedding catering, during registration, and it will be reflected on your certificate and CAC’s public register.

Do I need a health or sanitation permit in addition to CAC registration? CAC registration establishes your legal business name; any state health/sanitation permits or food handler’s certificates required to operate a food business are handled separately and aren’t part of this service.

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.

How do I start right now? Send us a WhatsApp message with your preferred business name and we’ll begin the availability check immediately — no forms, no waiting for an appointment.
