The Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) has announced that it will increase the cost of some of its services starting from August 1, 2025.
The agency said this move follows a careful review of the country’s economic situation, the rising cost of operations, and talks held with key players before reaching the decision.
CAC explained that the fee adjustment will support better service delivery and help improve its digital systems.
The revised rates will apply to various services connected to companies, business names, incorporated trustees, and limited partnerships.
For example, the cost of voluntary striking-off will now be ₦50,000 for small companies and ₦100,000 for public companies, instead of the previous ₦25,000.
Also, to relist a company, small firms will now pay ₦50,000 while public companies will pay ₦100,000.
Other changes include ₦50,000 for a due diligence search done by customers themselves, ₦100,000 to get an extension to hold an Annual General Meeting (AGM) for public companies and ₦50,000 for others.
The price for historical search reports will range from ₦20,000 to ₦30,000, while certified document copies will now cost ₦5,000 each.
A request to keep a director’s or business owner’s address private will attract a fee of ₦25,000.
The commission said the new charges are meant to keep its services running efficiently while maintaining accurate records in the national company registry.
