A spare parts business runs on stock that turns over: brake pads, filters, tyres, batteries, lighting units and the occasional tokunbo engine. Putting that trade under a registered name gives your shop an identity that mechanics, fleet owners and suppliers can deal with confidently. As an accredited CAC agent, Onelove Business Ventures handles the name search, the filing and the certificate for parts dealers anywhere in Ondo State. A Business Name costs ₦35,500, all-inclusive, whichever local government area your shop is in. There’s no extra step hiding behind this: message us your business name, and we take it from there.

Akure’s Parts Trade, SON and Why a Registered Name Helps
Akure has well-established places to buy vehicle parts. Public business directories place dealers at the Mojere Motor Spare Parts Market near Ilesha garage and in shops along Oyemekun Road, selling new parts alongside tokunbo (used) ones. Where there is that much choice, buyers pay attention to who they are dealing with, and a shop that trades under a registered name with proper receipts is easier to trust than one that doesn’t.
The Standards Organisation of Nigeria (SON) has been active in this part of the country as well. In an enforcement exercise reported in 2016, SON’s Ondo State office seized substandard products from Akure markets, including more than 400 tyres that carried no quality information. More recently, SON has encouraged auto parts dealers to adopt its Product Authentication Mark so fake products are easier to spot. CAC registration says nothing about whether your stock meets a standard, so product compliance remains a separate responsibility. What registration does give you is a clear, traceable business identity for supplier records, invoices and warranty paperwork.

Business Name or Limited Liability Company for a Parts Business
| Business Name | Limited Liability Company | |
|---|---|---|
| Price (all-inclusive) | ₦35,500 | ₦65,500 |
| Separates business from personal assets | No | Yes |
| What you receive | Certificate + Status Report + TIN | Certificate + Status Report + Memart + TIN |
| Often chosen by | Single-shop retailers, tokunbo dealers and small distributors | Importers, large wholesalers and businesses with partners or investors |
If you run one shop and buy from a handful of suppliers, a Business Name is usually enough to trade, invoice and bank under. A company makes more sense when you’re importing in volume, supplying many outlets, holding significant stock, or sharing ownership, because the business then sits apart from your personal assets. Many dealers start with a Business Name and upgrade as stock and turnover grow.

Customers Ask for Parts, Not Paperwork
Nobody walks into a parts shop asking about your registration. They ask whether you have the right pad for a particular model, how soon you can get a gearbox, or whether the price is fixed. Meanwhile there’s stock to count, a delivery to receive and a regular mechanic waiting at the counter. Registration is the task that’s easy to leave undone because it never feels urgent. Hand it over and your shop gets a registered name for invoices, supplier accounts and bank forms, while you carry on selling.
A Good Match If…
Before you decide, here’s an honest look at who gets the most from our service:
- You’re behind the counter all day — customers asking for parts by car model, suppliers phoning about deliveries, stock to count — and there’s no time left to work through CAC’s portal.
- You’re moving from a retail counter toward wholesale — supplying mechanics, garages and other shops, stocking genuine or tokunbo lines in volume, or opening a second outlet in another town.
- You want honest advice, not an upsell — if a Business Name covers your stage, that’s what we’ll recommend.
- You want things kept simple — your details, one payment, your certificate.
If that sounds like you, send your business name and we’ll get started.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does CAC registration cost for a spare parts business in Ondo State? ₦35,500 all-inclusive for a Business Name, in any LGA. A Limited Liability Company is ₦65,500 all-inclusive.
What do I get for the ₦35,500? The name check and reservation, the completed CAC filing, the government fee, your Certificate of Registration (soft copy), a TIN and a CAC Status Report.
Is a Business Name enough for a spare parts shop? For most single-shop retailers and small dealers, yes. It gives you a registered name to trade, invoice and bank under.
Can I register as a wholesaler or distributor, not just a retailer? Yes. Describe the nature of business to include wholesale supply when you send your details.
Can I sell tokunbo and new parts under the same name? Yes. Describe the business broadly, such as “sale of new and used motor vehicle spare parts”.
I import parts. Does CAC registration cover that? No. It gives your business a registered name. Import documentation, customs duties and product-standard requirements are handled separately.
Does CAC registration replace anything from SON? No. The Standards Organisation of Nigeria deals with product standards, and its Product Authentication Mark is something it has encouraged dealers to adopt. CAC registration covers none of that.
Does the certificate prove my parts are genuine? No. It confirms that your business is registered. Whether a part is genuine depends on its source and the relevant regulators.
What address do I use if I trade from a market stall? Give the shop or stall number, the market name and the LGA. The form needs an Ondo State address.
Can I register tyres, batteries and lubricants with my parts? Yes. Mention them in your description of the business.
Can I register parts and repairs under one name? Yes. Describe both activities. If you also run a workshop, ask us about the broader wording.
I sell mostly through WhatsApp and delivery. What address do I give? Use the address of your base, store or warehouse, along with its LGA.
Does one registration cover more than one shop? One registration covers your business as a whole. Approvals for each shop’s premises are separate.
Will a certificate help me get fleet or company orders? Companies and organisations often ask for proof of registration before placing recurring orders, so it’s a useful document to have. It doesn’t guarantee any order.
Do you register businesses outside Akure? Yes. We cover all of Ondo State, from the Akoko communities to Ilaje and Okitipupa, at the same price and turnaround.
Can I open a business bank account with the certificate? Yes. A CAC certificate is one of the main documents banks ask for, together with your ID and other details.
Is the TIN included? Yes, your Tax Identification Number comes with the ₦35,500.
Do I have to file anything with CAC after registration? Registered businesses file annual returns. It’s a small, separate step, and we can help when it’s due.
What if my first-choice name is already taken? Send a backup and we’ll check it straight away. Having two or three options ready keeps things moving.
Can I upgrade to a Limited Liability Company later, and when should I start as one? Yes, you can convert later, and we can assist. Starting as a company from day one makes sense if you’re importing in volume, bringing in partners or an investor, or building a large wholesale operation.
