The Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) has introduced a new adjustment to its service fees, set to take effect from August 1, 2025.
This revision comes after the Commission evaluated current economic challenges, rising running costs, and engaged with major stakeholders before reaching its decision.
In a public notice made available to PUNCH Online on Tuesday, the CAC explained that this update in charges is aimed at enhancing service efficiency through technology-based solutions tailored to the evolving demands of businesses and the national economy.
“The Commission wishes to inform the General Public, Esteemed Customers, and all Stakeholders that in the continued efforts to improve its service quality and delivery, it has become necessary to review certain service fees effective the 1st day of August 2025.
“This decision follows the careful consideration of prevailing economic realities, rising operational costs as well as engagement of critical stakeholders ahead of implementation,” the CAC said.
The Commission also stated:
“The review is modest, competitive and aligns with our commitment to enhance service delivery through digitalised operations and maintain the integrity of the Nigerian Corporate Registry.”
Reiterating its goal to provide seamless services, CAC said the updated fees would support its long-term viability and ongoing improvement strategies.
“We remain committed to transparency, accountability, and customer satisfaction as we strive to build a more resilient and responsive corporate regulatory environment,” the commission said.
A detailed breakdown of the revised charges is available on the Commission’s official website: www.cac.gov.ng or via this link: https://www.cac.gov.ng/resources.
