Ibadan’s Spare Parts Markets and What Their Traders Have Been Through

Oyo State’s parts trade is concentrated in Ibadan. The Araromi Auto Spare Parts Market at Agodi Gate, in Ibadan North-East, is described as the state’s largest motor spare parts market. A leader of the Ibadan Motor Part Dealers Union Association, which speaks for traders there, has said buyers come to it from far and wide. Business directories also list dealers in the Abatakan Motor Spare Parts Market at Ojoo, including sellers of truck and trailer parts.

The market has also shown how exposed a parts business can be. A fire razed hundreds of shops at Araromi, and traders reported heavy losses of stock, including many engines. The state governor visited the burnt market afterwards, and the government later presented ₦50 million in relief to the affected traders.

Relief of this kind, like the dealings of a union, a landlord, an insurer or a supplier, goes more smoothly with a trader who can be clearly identified. A registered business name gives your shop that identity. To be clear, none of the reports we reviewed say CAC registration was required for the relief, so check the terms of any support or association you deal with. A registered name is simply the base that suppliers, insurers, banks and trade bodies usually expect you to have.

Spare Parts Businesses We Register in Oyo State

• New-parts retailers — shops selling brand-new parts for popular car, bus and SUV models.
• Tokumbo (used) parts dealers — sellers of foreign-used parts and accessories.
• Engine and gearbox dealers — stockists of used and reconditioned engines, gearboxes and major assemblies.
• Truck and trailer parts sellers — suppliers to haulage operators and workshops serving heavy vehicles.
• Motorcycle and tricycle parts shops — parts, tyres, tubes and batteries for riders and keke operators.
• Tyre, battery and lubricant sellers — fast-moving consumables for drivers and fleets.
• Auto accessories shops — seat covers, lights, audio, mats and similar fittings.
• Wholesalers and distributors — businesses that buy in volume and supply other shops and garages.
• Dispatch and online parts sellers — dealers who take orders by phone or social media and deliver.

Outside the Scope of This Registration

• Printed copies of your certificate. You receive a soft copy on WhatsApp and print it locally when you need it.
• Standards requirements for parts you import or sell. Items such as tyres, batteries and brake components may fall under Standards Organisation of Nigeria rules, which you should confirm for your product line.
• Import clearance. Customs duties, import documentation and clearing arrangements are handled with your clearing agent, your bank and the Nigeria Customs Service, not through CAC.
• Manufacturer or brand authorisation. If you want to sell a brand as an authorised dealer, that agreement is made with the manufacturer or distributor.
• Market association dues and membership. Joining a body such as a motor parts dealers’ union is optional and arranged with that association.
• Shop and stall tenancy. Your lease, market allocation, local government levies and any landlord requirements are dealt with separately.
• Fire safety and insurance for your premises and stock. Cover comes from an insurer of your choice, and fire-safety arrangements are a matter for your market and the relevant authorities.
• Environmental handling of used batteries, engine oil and scrap parts, dealt with through the state environmental authorities and, where it applies, NESREA.
• State and federal tax obligations for your business, beyond the TIN issued with your certificate.
• Opening a business bank account, done with your chosen bank once the certificate is in hand.
• Annual returns in later years. A small, separate step that we can help with.

Here’s Exactly What You’re Paying For

One all-inclusive payment of ₦35,500 combines CAC’s fee and ours, with no extra charges arriving afterwards. If you prefer a company from the start, a Limited Liability Company is ₦65,500, also all-inclusive.

• A search to confirm your business name is available on CAC’s register
• Reservation of the name once it clears
• Preparation and submission of the CAC Business Name application
• CAC’s government filing and processing fee
• Your Certificate of Registration (soft copy)
• Your Tax Identification Number (TIN)
• A CAC Status Report showing your business as active on the public register

Business Name vs. Limited Liability Company

A Business Name is a good fit for a shop you run yourself that sells to walk-in customers and mechanics. A Limited Liability Company is worth considering once you carry large stock, import in volume, sell on credit to big buyers or bring in partners, because the business is then separate from your personal assets. It is common to begin with a Business Name and convert later.

Before You Reach Out

3. A passport photograph
4. Your business address in Oyo State, with the LGA named
5. A phone number and an email address
6. What the business does, in plain words, e.g. “sale of motor vehicle spare parts and accessories”
7. If you choose a Limited Liability Company: names, ID and details for each director and shareholder

From Message to Certificate

2. Name reservation. Once it is clear, we hold the name for you.
3. Application. We complete the filing with your business, owner and Oyo State address details.

The Part Number You Can’t Find

Ask any parts dealer what the job really is and the answer is rarely just selling. A customer walks in with a worn component in hand and wants the exact match. A mechanic needs a gearbox by afternoon. A new batch of stock has to be sourced, checked and priced, and the line between a genuine part and a poor copy has to be drawn every day. Between the counter, the supplier calls and the cash and transfers, there is little room for an online filing portal. Registration is the one task here that someone else can carry from start to finish. When it’s complete, your shop trades under a registered name that appears on receipts, supplier invoices and bank paperwork.

A Good Match If…

We’re not the right fit for everyone, and we’d rather say so — here’s who usually benefits most from working with us:

• You’d rather not break off from a customer holding a worn brake pad and a part number to work through CAC’s portal — you want the filing handled while the shop stays open.
• You’re planning to move from over-the-counter retail to supplying mechanics and garages in volume, importing directly, or opening a second shop in another market — and you want a registered name to grow under.
• You prefer being told what you actually need — if the Business Name does the job today, we’ll leave the company route for when it’s worth it.
• You want a process without back-and-forth — send your details once, pay once, and there are no surprise charges afterwards.

If that’s the kind of service you want, message us and we’ll begin.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

What do I get for the ₦35,500? The name search 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 owner-run shops and stalls, yes. It gives you the legal name and registration to trade under. Standards, import and premises matters are handled separately.

I sell from a stall in a market. What address do I use? Give the market address with the LGA, for example your stall number, the market name and the area. That is enough for the application.

Does CAC registration replace SON or customs requirements for imported parts? No. CAC registration gives your business a registered name. Standards rules and import clearance are handled with the relevant agencies, your bank and your clearing agent.

Can I use the certificate when I start importing parts? The registered name is usually the starting point, since banks and clearing agents ask who the importer is. Import documentation has requirements of its own, so confirm those with your agent.

Can I register new parts and tokumbo (used) parts under one name? Yes. Describe the nature of business broadly, for example “sale of new and used motor vehicle spare parts”.

Do dealers in used engines and gearboxes qualify? Yes. Any parts trade can be registered the same way as a general spare parts shop.

Does it cover truck and trailer parts? Yes. Heavy-vehicle parts businesses are registered exactly as retail car-parts shops are.

Can I register a motorcycle or tricycle parts shop? Yes, the process and price are the same.

Do tyre, battery and lubricant sellers count as spare parts businesses? Yes. Describe what you sell in the nature of business, and the registration works the same way.

Can I register a wholesale or distribution business? Yes. A Business Name suits a smaller wholesaler, and a Limited Liability Company is worth considering for a large distributor.

Will a certificate help me supply garages and fleet companies? Organisations that buy parts in volume often ask a supplier for proof of registration. The certificate helps with that request, but it does not guarantee any order.

Will suppliers, insurers or banks ask for it? They commonly do before extending credit terms, covering stock or opening an account. Registration helps with those requests but guarantees nothing.

Can I open a business bank account with the certificate? Yes. A CAC certificate is one of the main documents banks ask for, along with your ID and other details.

Is the TIN included? Yes. A Tax Identification Number is part of what you receive for the ₦35,500.

Do I need to file anything with CAC in later years? Registered businesses have annual returns to file. It is a small, separate step that we can help with when it falls due.

What if my first choice of name is taken? Send a backup name and we will 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 with one? You can upgrade at any time, and we can assist with the conversion. A company is worth considering from day one if you are importing in volume, sharing ownership with partners, or a large buyer insists on a company.

Do you register shops outside Ibadan, such as in Ogbomosho, Saki or Iseyin? Yes. We register spare parts businesses across all of Oyo State at the same price and turnaround.
