Enugu Is Building a New Home for Its Spare Parts Trade

In March 2025, Enugu State Governor Peter Mbah signed an Executive Order relocating the long-standing Coal Camp spare parts market and other related trades in Enugu Capital Territory to a newly built International Motor Spare Parts and Allied Trades Park, sited across Nsude in Udi Local Government Area and Ogwofia-Owa in Ezeagu Local Government Area, along the Enugu-Onitsha Road near 9th Mile. The move followed years of appeals from the Enugu Motor Spare Parts Dealers Association, whose leadership had long flagged the poor, hazard-prone conditions at Coal Camp. The new site is designed as a purpose-built commercial hub with modern shops and warehouses, security, a clinic, fire service, a truck park and even residential areas nearby for traders — a strategic location, given that travellers heading to the Middle Belt, South-South, Onitsha and Nnewi pass through it. For a spare parts business, this is a state actively investing in giving the trade a proper, modern home — and a registered business name is the natural document to carry with you as that move takes shape.

Business Name vs. Limited Liability Company Cost

We handle the full Business Name registration for motor vehicle spare parts businesses in Enugu for ₦35,500 all-inclusive, covering the government filing fee and our service fee together — the option that fits most independent spare parts dealers and small shop owners 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 importing at scale, running multiple outlets, or bringing in business partners).

The Full Breakdown of Your ₦35,500

• 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 importing at scale or running multiple outlets. See the comparison above.

Separate From This Registration

• Physical/printed copies of your certificate (delivered as soft copy; you print locally whenever convenient)
• Standards Organisation of Nigeria (SON) compliance certification for the parts you sell
• Import documentation and customs clearance for parts brought in from abroad

• Authorisation to sell branded/OEM parts, where a manufacturer requires it
• Membership with the Enugu Motor Spare Parts Dealers Association

• Annual returns filing in future years — a small, separate step we can also help with when the time comes

What to Have on Hand

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. “auto spare parts retail,” “tyre and battery sales,” or “spare parts importation and distribution”
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.

How We Get You Registered

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.

You Know Your Parts — Let a Registered Name Back the Business

Running a spare parts business means knowing what fits what, sourcing reliably, and keeping customers coming back because what you sell actually works. CAC registration is the comparatively simple part, and it’s worth getting settled early: as Enugu’s spare parts trade moves into a purpose-built market, a properly registered business name is what sets you apart as a dealer customers and workshops can trust.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does CAC registration cost for a spare parts 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 to run a spare parts shop? Yes — for most independent dealers and small shop owners, a Business Name establishes your legal business name and is the main registration you need to start.

Should I register as a Business Name or a Limited Liability Company? A Business Name suits most independent spare parts dealers starting out. If you’re importing at scale, running multiple outlets, or bringing on partners, the Limited Liability Company route is worth considering.

When should I upgrade to a Limited Liability Company? Usually once you’re importing directly, opening additional outlets, or an investor specifically requires it.

Can I register spare parts retail, tyre sales and importation 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 spare parts retail, tyre sales and importation.

I’m currently trading at Coal Camp and moving to the new market — do I need to re-register? No — your CAC Business Name registration isn’t tied to a specific market location, so relocating within Enugu doesn’t require re-registration.

I run a small roadside spare parts stall — can I still register? Yes — small and large spare parts businesses register the same way. You just need a business address in Enugu, which can be your shop location or the address you operate from.

Do I need SON certification for the parts I sell? Yes — Standards Organisation of Nigeria compliance for spare parts is separate from CAC registration, and it’s worth confirming with genuine suppliers to avoid stocking substandard products.

Do I need special approval to import spare parts? Yes — import documentation and customs clearance are handled separately, outside of CAC registration.

Will this certificate help me open supplier accounts? Many wholesalers, importers and manufacturers ask for proof of business registration before opening a trade 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 spare parts businesses in all 17 Enugu LGAs, at the same price and turnaround time.

How long does registration take? Typically 5–7 working days, with nothing further required from you once you’ve sent your details.

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.

Does registering protect my shop’s brand name or logo? No — CAC registration protects your business name from being taken by someone else at CAC, but trademark protection for a logo or brand is a separate process.

Can I sell both new and second-hand (“tokunbo”) parts under the same registration? Yes — you can describe your nature of business to cover both, as long as it accurately reflects what your business does.

Do I need to join the Enugu Motor Spare Parts Dealers Association separately? That’s optional and separate from CAC registration, though many dealers find association membership useful, especially with the move to the new market.

Can I convert my Business Name registration to a Limited Liability Company later? Yes — many spare parts businesses start with a Business Name and convert once operations scale up; we can assist with that conversion when the time comes.

Is there a different registration needed for wholesale versus retail spare parts sales? No — a single CAC Business Name covers your business whether you sell wholesale, retail, or both.

Can I register a spare parts business before I have a shop at the new market? Yes — CAC registration doesn’t require a specific shop location. You can register first and secure your shop or stall as that process unfolds.

Do I need a different registration if I supply parts to workshops rather than selling to the public directly? No — the same CAC Business Name registration applies regardless of whether your customers are the public, workshops, or both.

Can I register a spare parts business that also offers auto electrical or mechanic services? Yes — describe your nature of business to cover both, for example spare parts retail and auto electrical services, as long as it accurately reflects what your business does.

Is there a minimum stock level required to register? No — CAC registration doesn’t set a minimum stock requirement. You can register while starting small and grow your stock over time.

Can I sell spare parts online or through social media once registered? Yes — a CAC certificate is useful for building buyer trust whether you sell from a shop, online, or both.

Do I need an accredited agent to register? It certainly makes things easier — we handle every detail so you don’t have to learn CAC’s process yourself. We’re a CAC-accredited agent, and we take care of your entire registration from name search through certificate delivery.
