CAC Business Name Registration for Spare Parts in Kebbi State

When a driver walks into a spare parts shop in Kebbi State, they’re really asking one question: can I rely on what you’re about to sell me? A CAC-registered business name is a plain, official way to answer yes. Onelove Business Ventures is an accredited CAC agent, and we handle your Business Name registration online from the first search to the final certificate, so you can keep serving customers while the paperwork gets done.

The registration costs ₦35,500, all-inclusive: the government filing fee and our service fee in a single figure, with nothing added on later. Your certificate arrives as a soft copy on WhatsApp in 5–7 working days, and you print it locally. If you’re running a large distribution outfit or bringing in partners, a Limited Liability Company registration is available at ₦65,500 all-inclusive.

Just your business name on WhatsApp — everything after that is on us.

Counterfeit Parts, SON, and the Case for a Traceable Name

Fake and substandard parts are a known problem across Nigeria’s auto trade. In 2024, the president of the Auto Spare Parts and Machinery Dealers Association (ASPAMDA) at the Trade Fair complex in Lagos said fake parts have contributed to crashes, injuries and deaths on the country’s highways, and described how his association works with the Standards Organisation of Nigeria (SON), which maintains a permanent office inside the market. The Lagos market is far from Kebbi, but the issue it describes is one every dealer faces, wherever they trade.

SON also has a presence closer to home. Its published branch list shows a Kebbi office at the State Secretariat Complex in Gwadangwaji, Birnin Kebbi. The SON Act sets out offences for knowingly selling items that don’t meet a mandatory standard, and tyres are among the product categories with their own Nigerian Industrial Standards. (Confirm the office details on SON’s website before quoting the address.)

For a Kebbi spare parts dealer, none of this is changed by CAC registration, which does not replace SON compliance. What a registered name does is put an identifiable business behind the parts you sell: it appears on your receipts and supplier agreements, which gives genuine-parts dealers a credible way to stand apart from sellers with nothing to trace.

Business Name vs. Limited Liability Company

For a single shop or stall, a Business Name is the practical starting point: lowest cost, quick turnaround, and a legally recognised trading name. If you’re stocking at wholesale volumes, supplying other shops across LGAs, or taking on co-owners, the Limited Liability Company separates your personal assets from the business and is worth considering. You can begin with a Business Name and convert later.

Here’s Exactly What You’re Paying For

• 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

Outside the Scope of This Registration

CAC registration establishes your business name. These items sit with other bodies and are not part of this service:

• Printed copies of your certificate (delivered as soft copy; print locally whenever convenient)
• SON standards compliance for the parts, tyres, batteries and lubricants you sell
• Customs clearance, import duties and any import permits if you bring parts in from abroad
• Distributor or dealer authorisations from parts manufacturers and brand owners
• Kebbi State or local government shop permits, market stall allocations and levies, where they apply
• Safe storage of oils, batteries and tyres, and the related fire-safety and environmental requirements
• Business bank account opening, done directly with your bank once your certificate is in hand
• Annual returns filing in future years — a small, separate step we can also help with when it’s due

Before You Reach Out

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 Kebbi State — indicating the LGA (a shop, market stall or warehouse location works)
5. Phone number and email address
6. Nature of business — described simply, e.g. “motor vehicle spare parts retail” or “auto parts wholesale and distribution”
7. If you choose Limited Liability Company instead: names, ID and details of directors and shareholders

From Message to Certificate

1. Check name availability on CAC’s public search portal — handled on our end.
2. Reserve the name once it’s confirmed available.
3. Complete the application with your business details and Kebbi address.
4. Upload your ID and passport photograph — a phone photo is fine.
5. Pay the ₦35,500 filing fee, a single payment covering everything.
6. Receive your Certificate of Registration, TIN and Status Report, usually within 5–7 working days.

That’s genuinely the whole process from your side: one message, one payment, one certificate.

Behind Every Part Number Is a Customer Who Trusts You

You’ve handled the same conversation hundreds of times: a customer holds up a worn part, tells you the make and year, and expects you to match it exactly. You know which parts to stock for the vehicles that dominate your area, which suppliers deliver what they promise, and which items customers will come back to complain about. That knowledge is yours alone. What CAC adds is a registered name on your receipts and supplier accounts, so that the business is easy to identify, and easy to trust, long after the customer has left the shop.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does CAC registration cost for a spare parts business in Kebbi State? ₦35,500 all-inclusive for a Business Name, the same across 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 processing fee, your Certificate of Registration (soft copy), a Tax Identification Number, and a CAC Status Report confirming your business is active on the public register.

Is a Business Name enough to run a spare parts shop? For most individual shop owners and small retailers, yes. A Business Name gives you a registered trading name and is the main registration needed to start.

Should I register a Business Name or a Limited Liability Company? A Business Name suits most individual shops and stalls. A Limited Liability Company fits better for wholesalers, importers, or businesses with partners.

When should I move to a Limited Liability Company? Usually once you’re supplying other shops in volume, importing regularly, or an investor or partner requires it.

Can one registration cover cars, trucks, motorcycles, tyres and batteries? Yes. One registration covers your business as a whole, so you can describe the nature of business broadly enough to include several product categories.

I sell from a small stall in a market — can I still register? Yes. You need a business address in Kebbi State, which can be your stall, shop or storage location.

I sell parts through WhatsApp or social media. Can I register? Yes. You’ll still need a physical business address in Kebbi State, such as your shop or storage location.

Does CAC registration cover SON standards or product approvals? No. SON compliance applies to the products you sell and is separate from CAC registration.

What about importing parts from abroad? Customs clearance, duties and any import permits are handled separately. CAC registration covers your business name, not your imports.

Will the certificate help me open supplier or distributor accounts? Many suppliers and distributors ask for proof of business registration before setting up a trade account, so a CAC certificate is often the 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 I have to join a spare parts dealers’ association to register? No. CAC registration doesn’t require membership of any association. Joining one is a separate decision.

Do you register businesses outside Birnin Kebbi? Yes. We register spare parts businesses in all 21 Kebbi LGAs, at the same price and turnaround.

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

Can I convert my Business Name to a Limited Liability Company later? Yes. Many businesses start with a Business Name and convert as volumes or partnerships grow, and we can assist with the conversion.

Is there anything I need to do after I receive the certificate? Annual returns filing applies in future years. It’s a small, separate step we can help with when it’s due.
