Why File a Change of PSC for LLP with CAC?

In a Nigerian Limited Liability Partnership (LLP), a Person with Significant Control (PSC) is any natural person who directly or indirectly holds at least 5% of the partnership interest or voting rights, holds the right to appoint or remove a majority of the designated partners, or otherwise exercises significant influence or control over the LLP’s operations and decisions.

Filing a Change of PSC of LLP with the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) is therefore essential whenever beneficial ownership or control of the partnership shifts. The CAC requires that any such change be formally recorded in the LLP’s PSC register and officially reported.

  • Statutory Requirement: Under CAMA 2020, LLPs must disclose and maintain up-to-date records of individuals who exercise significant control over the partnership.

  • Maintain Accurate Public Records: The CAC registry helps regulators, financial institutions, and government agencies verify the true beneficial owners or controlling persons behind an LLP.

  • Promote Corporate Transparency: PSC disclosure helps prevent misuse of corporate entities for fraud, money laundering, or concealment of ownership.
