Why File Annual Returns for Your Company with CAC?

Annual Returns are a mandatory requirement for all registered companies (Private Limited, Public Limited, Company Limited by Guarantee) under the Companies and Allied Matters Act (CAMA) 2020, regardless of activity status. This statutory filing ensures your company remains legally recognized, compliant, and eligible for CAC post-registration services.

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

  • Maintain Active Status: Avoid an “Inactive” status (marked in red), being struck off, or presumed dissolved by the CAC. Filing promptly restores and maintains your status as “Active” (in green).

  • Required for Post-Registration Changes: Enables CAC to process requests for changes like appointments or removals of directors, alterations to share capital, changes of registered address, or other vital corporate updates.

  • Avoid Penalties: Failure to file within the prescribed timeline attracts penalties and default fees. Filing promptly avoids these financial and legal setbacks.

  • Demonstrate Transparency & Good Governance: Shows professionalism and accountability, building trust with regulators, investors, banks, partners, and other stakeholders.

  • Preserve Access to Services: Maintain access to financing, licensing, grants, and other corporate benefits that require proof of compliance with CAC regulations.
