Why File Annual Returns for Your Business Name with CAC?

Filing annual returns is a legal obligation under the Companies and Allied Matters Act (CAMA) for all registered Business Names in Nigeria, whether active or dormant. This statutory filing ensures your business remains legally recognized, compliant, and eligible for CAC post-registration services.

  • Legal Compliance: Filing annual returns fulfills your obligations under CAMA, helping you maintain your legal standing with the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC).

  • Maintain Active Status: Businesses that fail to file annual returns are marked “Inactive” (in red) in the CAC portal. Filing all outstanding returns immediately restores your status to “Active” (in green).

  • Avoid Penalty: Failure to file by June 30th each year (excluding the year of registration) attracts a penalty and default fee. Filing promptly avoids unnecessary financial and legal risks.
