Hello, I have built a bakery about to start in Kaduna, I have a registered business name, I was at Nafdac for registration but one of thing they asked for was trademark registration, and that can only be gotten in Abuja can take long to process then bring it to Nafdac alongside other requirement.

My question is is there a way of by passing the trade mark registration since I have a registered business name? And what is the fastest way of getting Nafdac registration

abikun:

There is no way you can by pass trademark as it is one of the mandatory requirements for getting NAFDAC number as stated in my write up. You can get NAFDAC registration within 3 weeks through fast track or 3 months through normal procedure of registration.

HAH:


Thank you very much, please how do I go about the fast tract registration cos I want everything to be done fast

For the trademark registration do you mean all I need is an acknowledgment without waiting for approval for the Nafdac registration

abikun:


To apply for the fast track registration: The following are require: Application letter, Certificate of Incorporation, Trademark (Acknowledgment and Acceptance), and Membership Certificate of Manufacturer Association of Nigeria (MAN). But if I may ask, do you want to obtain the fast track for bread? If it's so, then I am afraid to tell you that fast track number is no more available for bread and water. For Trademark, you need acknowledgment and acceptance.

HAH:


Thank you very much, is is for bread, I have contacted a classmate that now work with ministry of trade and investment Abuja he asked me to scan my CAC registration documents to to him via email to process the trademark for me, he said he try and ask those doing it to do a favour to him and do it in three weeks.

abikun:

Please make sure the trademark is authentic because scammers are on the prowl.

Riderboy:


Pls how much would it cost to get the acknowledgement and acceptance for the trade Mark and how long will it take me to get it

hadukey:
Thank you sir,
We are opening a pure water and bottled water latest December

I have gone through the NAFDAC Requirements, it seems to be much.
I'll appreciate it if you can mentor me to collate all these documents particularly the SOPs
Must we get all these approval before we can start production?
The stuff is really much, I'm confused right now.
Fast tracking is very key for me to get nafdac approval for my product
Pls help out sir

abikun:

Officially it costs around #22,000. It will take Five weeks or more depending on how the officials act on it.

Nduwin:
pls how much does it cost to register a business name with CAC and how long will it take to get d certificate?

osile2012:
[size=18pt]Can you help with the estimate of the cost of getting all these and NAFDAC NO ? What if its a one man business, like baking cake and meat pie and packaging. Do you need nafdac since you dont have any arrangement with lab or have any employees and you do everything yourself ?


What about someone who makes colored popcorn at home and packages it? Does he or she need nafdac ? What of someone who makes cereal by grinding grains and packaging it or someone that buys soy powder to make soy milk and bottle it ?

hadukey:
Okay @abikun,
So what trademark class does pure water and bottled water fall under?
The only place I saw something like water is class 32 which is aerated water.......are they the same?

abikun:

Not necessary to register. But to add credibility to your products I will advice you register with NAFDAC if you can afford it. Also, ensure that what you are producing is safe and hygienic for human consumption.

osile2012:


[size=18pt]If you are producing at home, in one of the rooms in your house, will NAFDAC have to send inspection team ? Will it be a problem that your producing in your home ? Any idea what the total cost could be to get the Number?.[/size]

abikun:

NAFDAC will not accept using a residence as a factory, so they won't approve it. You have to separate factory from residence. The cost will depend on the product you want to register.

hadukey:
@abikun, yes we are following you, however, I don't really understand the way u explained d sops, a sample of already written sop can help out.
Thanks

Riderboy:
