CAC Business Name Registration for Spare Parts in Kwara State

Selling motor spare parts in Kwara means being the person a mechanic calls when a customer’s car is stuck on a jack waiting for a part. If you sell new, brand-name parts, used Japanese imports, tyres, batteries, filters or okada and keke parts, a CAC-registered business name is the document that puts your shop on the same footing as bigger suppliers. Onelove Business Ventures is an accredited CAC agent, and we deal with the search, the filing and the certificate for parts dealers across Kwara State, so you can stay behind your counter. There’s no extra step hiding behind this: message us your business name, and we take it from there.

Ilorin’s Spare Parts Trade Is Already Organised — Registered Names Fit Right In

Spare parts trading in Ilorin has its own established community. The Kwara State Old Motors Spare Parts Dealers Association is based at the Ipata-Oloje market, and the wider Alapa, Okolowo and Oloje axis of the city is where much of the used-parts trade is concentrated, with traders there selling Japanese motor parts among other stock. Trading inside a market like that means dealing with suppliers, fellow dealers, mechanics buying in bulk and customers who want a receipt. A shop operating under a CAC-registered name is simply better placed in those conversations, because the name on your invoice, your supplier account and your bank account is one the public register can confirm. Association membership and market allocation are separate matters that you arrange with the market itself, but CAC registration is the document that proves your business exists on its own, independent of any one stall.

Spare Parts Businesses We Register Most in Kwara

• Used (tokunbo) parts dealers — shops selling imported second-hand engines, gearboxes, doors, lights and body parts.
• New and brand-specific parts — dealers stocking fresh parts for particular makes such as Toyota, Honda, Peugeot or Kia.
• Tyres, batteries and accessories — outlets selling tyres, rims, car batteries, mats, seat covers and electronics.
• Engine oil, lubricants and filters — suppliers of oils, coolants, oil and air filters and brake fluid.
• Commercial and truck parts — traders supplying parts for lorries, buses and trailers.
• Motorcycle and tricycle parts — shops serving the many okada and keke riders across the state.

Separate From This Registration

• Physical/printed copies of your certificate (delivered as soft copy; you print locally whenever convenient)

• Business bank account opening, done with your chosen bank once your certificate is in hand

The Full Breakdown of Your ₦35,500

For ₦35,500 all-inclusive, we register your spare parts business as a Business Name. The government fee and our service fee are combined, so there’s no second invoice later. It’s the right fit for single-shop dealers, stallholders and growing retailers. A Limited Liability Company is also available at ₦65,500 all-inclusive for larger operations.

• 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

Business Name vs. Limited Liability Company

A Business Name gives your shop a legal identity, so you can sell, invoice and bank under it. If you start importing containers of parts, supplying other shops at volume, or share ownership with others, the LLC’s separation of personal and business assets starts to matter. Many dealers begin with a Business Name and convert when the stock and the stakes get bigger.

2. Reserve the name once it’s confirmed available.

You Know Every Part Number — Now Give the Shop a Name on Record

Ask a seasoned parts dealer for a gasket, a sensor or a set of brake pads, and they’ll know the make, the model year and which of the three versions on the shelf will actually fit. They can tell an original from a copy at a glance and remember which mechanic pays on time and which one needs reminding. That knowledge builds a shop’s reputation, and no certificate can replace it. What a CAC registration does add is a formal name behind that reputation, so the trust you’ve built can be carried into supplier accounts, bulk orders and a bank account that keeps shop money separate from your own.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does CAC registration cost for a spare parts business in Kwara State? ₦35,500 all-inclusive for a Business Name, the same across all 16 LGAs. A Limited Liability Company is ₦65,500 all-inclusive.

What do I get for the ₦35,500? 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 parts shop, and when should I move to an LLC? For most single-shop dealers and stallholders, yes. A Business Name establishes your legal trading name. Consider the Limited Liability Company once you’re importing in volume, supplying other shops, or bringing in partners or investors. You can convert later, and we can help with that.

I trade from a stall in a market. Can I still register? Yes. You need an address in Kwara State with its LGA, and a stall, shop or store location all work.

Does CAC registration cover SON standards or import clearance? No. SON requirements on parts quality and any customs duties on imported stock are separate from CAC registration.

Will the certificate help with supplier accounts and my bank? Often, yes. Suppliers and distributors frequently ask for proof of registration before opening an account on credit terms, and banks require a CAC certificate to open a business account, alongside your ID and other details.

Do you register shops outside Ilorin? Yes. We register spare parts businesses in all 16 Kwara LGAs, at the same price and turnaround time.
