We handle the full registration for restaurant and catering businesses in Anambra State for ₦35,500 all-inclusive, covering the government filing fee and our service fee together (a Limited Liability Company registration is ₦65,500 all-inclusive). Wherever you’re based in Anambra — Awka, Onitsha, or Nnewi — the process runs entirely online, and most clients have their certificate within a week.

• Tax Identification Number (TIN) registration for Business Names (included automatically for Limited Liability Companies at ₦65,500)

Business Name vs. Limited Liability Company Cost

Every Event Without a Certificate Is Business Going Somewhere Else

Right now, corporate offices, event planners, and hospitality venues want a verified, registered vendor before awarding a catering or restaurant supply contract. NAFDAC registration itself typically requires an existing CAC business registration as a first step, so delaying CAC registration delays your entire food certification process. Wedding planners and businesses booking bulk catering for parties, conferences, and functions usually prefer registered vendors they can issue purchase orders to. Every month you delay registration is a month those event contracts and corporate accounts go to a competitor who’s already registered.

Stop losing catering contracts 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 Anambra? ₦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, a catering service, or a small chops business.

Can I register a catering or restaurant business specifically? Yes — you’ll state your specific line of business, such as event catering services or restaurant and fast-food operations, during registration, and it will be reflected on your certificate and CAC’s public register.

Do I need NAFDAC or health permit registration in addition to CAC registration? Yes — CAC registration establishes your legal business name and is typically the first requirement before applying for NAFDAC registration and local health/environmental permits, which cover food safety approval; these 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.
