The Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) has announced a revised fee structure for its services, set to take effect from August 1, 2025.
According to a statement issued by the Commission, the adjustment comes after a comprehensive review of current economic conditions, rising operational costs, and extensive consultations with key stakeholders.
“In our ongoing efforts to enhance service quality and delivery, it has become necessary to review certain service fees effective August 1, 2025,” the CAC said. It added that the revision is modest and competitive, aligning with its digital transformation goals and the broader needs of businesses within Nigeria’s economy.
The Commission emphasised that the new rates are aimed at sustaining efficient, technology-driven operations, maintaining the integrity of Nigeria’s corporate registry, and ensuring long-term service improvements.
“We remain committed to transparency, accountability, and customer satisfaction as we strive to build a more resilient and responsive corporate regulatory environment,” the statement read.
The fee changes affect services offered to companies, limited partnerships, business names, and incorporated trustees.
Some of the key revisions include:Voluntary Striking-Off: Now N50,000 for small companies and N100,000 for public companies.
Company Relisting: N50,000 for LTD/GTE entities, N100,000 for public companies.
