The Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) has announced a revision of its service fees, set to take effect from August 1, 2025. The move, according to the Commission, is aimed at aligning its operations with prevailing economic realities while improving the quality and efficiency of its regulatory services.
In a public notice issued by the Commission, the CAC said the new charges reflect extensive consultations with key stakeholders and are part of broader reforms to enhance service delivery, maintain technological infrastructure, and ensure operational sustainability.
The Commission assured the public that the revised fees remain modest and competitive when compared to similar regulatory bodies both within and outside Nigeria. It explained that the changes apply to a range of corporate services, including company name reservation, re-listing of struck-off entities, voluntary striking-off, issuance of certified true copies, and extension of time for holding annual general meetings, among others.

The review also affects services provided to business names, incorporated trustees, limited liability partnerships, and limited partnerships. The CAC emphasized that the adjustments would not affect the standard N1,000 fee for company name reservation, while applications involving restricted names would remain at N5,000.
The Commission further explained that the fee realignment is critical to sustaining digital transformation efforts and improving user experience across its electronic service platforms.
“The Commission is committed to transparency, accountability, and the ease of doing business in Nigeria,” the statement read. It also advised business owners, legal practitioners, and the general public to consult its official website for the full breakdown of the updated charges.
The CAC’s announcement comes at a time when government agencies are under increasing pressure to balance affordability with efficiency, particularly in sectors crucial to economic development and entrepreneurship.
