Why File Annual Returns for Your Business Name with CAC?

Annual Returns are a mandatory requirement under the Companies and Allied Matters Act (CAMA) 2020 for all registered Business Names (Sole Proprietorship or Partnership), regardless of activity status. This statutory filing ensures your business remains legally recognized, compliant, and eligible for CAC post-registration services.

  • Legal Compliance: Fulfills CAMA obligations, keeping your Business Name in good standing with the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC).

  • Maintain Active Status: Avoid an “Inactive” status (marked in red) that can hamper your business’s credibility and operational capacity. Filing promptly restores and maintains your status as “Active” (in green).

  • Required for Post-Registration Filings: You must file annual returns before the CAC will approve any post-registration changes like: Change of business address, Change of proprietor(s) or details, Change of business name or nature of business, etc. 

  • Avoid Penalties: 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.

  • Demonstrate Transparency & Good Governance: Shows accountability to regulators, stakeholders, banks, and clients, reinforcing trust and credibility for your Business Name.

  • Preserve Access to Services: Maintain access to loans, grants, permits, and other benefits that require evidence of compliance with CAC regulations.
