CAC Annual Filings & Returns

Key Reasons for Filing CAC (Corporate Affairs Commission) Annual Returns in Nigeria:

✅ 1. Legal compliance
Filing annual returns is a statutory requirement under the Companies and Allied Matters Act (CAMA). Failure to do so can lead to penalties and, eventually, the company being struck off the register.

📊 2. Confirmation of company’s active status
It shows that the company is still operational and interested in remaining on record. This helps to maintain the company's “Active” status on the CAC portal.

🏦 3. Essential for doing business
An up-to-date annual return is often required when:
Opening or maintaining corporate bank accounts
Applying for government contracts, tenders, or loans
Seeking business partnerships

🔍 4. Transparency and credibility
Regular filing increases stakeholders' trust and enhances the company's reputation. It demonstrates responsible corporate governance and compliance.

⚖ 5. Avoidance of penalties and sanctions
Late filing attracts financial penalties, and prolonged default can lead to deregistration. Compliance helps the company avoid unnecessary costs and legal issues.

📄 6. Keeps company records updated
Filing annual returns ensures the CAC has the most current information about the company’s directors, shareholders, and address. This can be important in resolving disputes or verifying ownership.
