The management of the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) has given update on the abandoned business registrations on the Companies Registration Portal (CRP).
It reads thus;
It has been observed that a sizeable number of applications have been filed and abandoned on the CRP as a result of queries that have not been resolved. This is creating a burden on our database. Moreso, there is no certainty as to when applicants will comply to enable the process.
In view of the above, all applications that have stayed up to 2 months on the CRP without action from the presenter or applicant shall be deemed abandoned and would be deleted from the system.
In the same vein, going forward, any application for registration that has been queried and is not attended to by the presenter will be deleted from the system at the expiration of 2 months from the date of the query.
The general public and our esteemed customers are therefore advised to resolve all outstanding queries on applications that have been abandoned on the CRP on or before April 14, 2023.
