A Limited Liability Company is also available at ₦65,500 all-inclusive. It is worth considering once you import in volume, supply other shops wholesale, or bring in partners.

Business Name vs. Limited Liability Company Cost
| Business Name | Limited Liability Company | |
|---|---|---|
| All-inclusive cost | ₦35,500 | ₦65,500 |
| Personal liability protection | No | Yes |
| Documents received | Certificate + Status Report + TIN | Certificate + Status Report + Memart + TIN |
| Best for | Independent parts sellers and small shops starting out | Importers, wholesalers supplying other shops, or ventures with partners |
For most spare parts businesses in Kogi, a Business Name gives you a legal trading name for invoices, receipts and supplier dealings. If you later import in volume, supply other shops or bring in partners, the Limited Liability Company structure keeps your personal assets separate from the business. Starting with a Business Name and converting later is a common path, and we can assist with the conversion when the time comes.
Want the Limited Liability Company straight away? For ₦65,500 all-inclusive you get everything above plus your Memorandum and Articles of Association (Memart) and personal liability protection.

Parts That Hold Up on Kogi’s Roads, and Why Buyers Look for a Registered Seller
Kogi’s roads carry a lot of heavy traffic, and when something goes wrong the parts are often part of the story. In May 2026, the FRSC’s Kogi command attributed a crash on the Lokoja–Abuja road, near Koto, to mechanical failure, overloading, speeding and worn-out tyres. Nationally, the Standards Organisation of Nigeria has been busy as well. Earlier in 2026 it seized about ₦600 million worth of substandard tyres, which it said had lost their integrity because of how they were stuffed into containers, and it has also destroyed fake spark plugs in an earlier exercise. All of this has made drivers, fleet owners and mechanics more careful about where their parts come from. We aren’t suggesting that any Kogi dealer sells poor-quality stock. The point is that buyers who care about genuine parts tend to prefer sellers they can identify. A CAC certificate puts your business name and status on the public register, and that is often what a transport company or a garage wants to see before it sets up a regular account with you.

You Know Your Parts Numbers. We’ll Handle the Registration
A good parts seller knows which gasket fits which engine, which brake pad lasts on a loaded truck, and which supplier is worth the extra cost. That knowledge takes years, and customers come back because of it. Registration is a completely different kind of task. It’s a form, a fee and a certificate, and when it’s done your invoices, supplier accounts and bank dealings can carry a registered name. The next time a distributor or fleet buyer asks whether you’re registered, you can show them the certificate on the spot.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does CAC registration cost for a spare parts business in Kogi State? ₦35,500 all-inclusive, the same across all 21 LGAs. A Limited Liability Company registration is ₦65,500 all-inclusive.
What exactly do I 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 for a spare parts shop? For most independent parts sellers and small shops, yes. It gives you a legal trading name and is the main registration needed to start.
Should I register as a Business Name or a Limited Liability Company? A Business Name suits most parts sellers starting out. If you import in volume, supply other shops or have partners, a Limited Liability Company is worth considering.
When should I move to a Limited Liability Company, and can I convert later? Usually when you’re importing regularly, wholesaling to other shops, bringing in partners, or when a supplier or financier asks for it. You can start with a Business Name and convert later.
Can I register new and used parts under one name? Yes. One registration covers the business as a whole, and you can describe your nature of business broadly enough to include both.
I sell from a small kiosk or stall. Can I still register? Yes. Small and large sellers register the same way. You need a business address in Kogi State, which can be your stall, shop or storage point.
I source parts to order and don’t keep a big shop. Can I register? Yes. Order-based sellers register under a Business Name the same way, using a business address in Kogi State.
Do I need SON approval to sell parts? For some products, such as tyres, batteries and certain electrical or brake components, SON requirements can apply. These are separate from CAC registration.
Do I need extra paperwork if I import parts myself? Yes. Customs clearance, import duties and related documents are separate from CAC registration, and your clearing agent can advise on the requirements.
Will a CAC certificate help me get supply accounts or credit from distributors? Distributors and suppliers often want proof of registration before extending trade accounts, so the certificate is frequently the first document they ask for. It does not guarantee credit terms.
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 Lokoja? Yes. We register spare parts businesses in all 21 Kogi LGAs, at the same price and turnaround time.
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.
