Corporate secretarial clean-up for a family holding company
Anonymised family investment holding company (Nigeria)
Published March 2, 2026
A family board discovered that annual returns for the holding company and two subsidiaries had lapsed during a leadership transition. Bank mandates were at risk and a planned disposal required clean corporate records.
We obtained status reports from the Corporate Affairs Commission, prepared rectification filings, and reconstructed minute books for key resolutions over the prior five years. Dividend declarations were aligned to available distributable reserves with supporting board minutes.
Statutory registers were digitised and a forward calendar of CAC, tax, and audit deadlines was shared with the family office administrator. Subsidiary boards now receive a quarterly compliance status memo from our team.
Measurable outcomes
- All outstanding CAC annual returns filed and acknowledged
- Bank signatory mandates refreshed without account disruption
- Share sale due diligence corporate pack completed on schedule
- Ongoing compliance calendar adopted by the family office
