ANNUAL RETURNS: THE NEED TO KNOW!

-

Hey People!

We have decided to suspend the Mini-Law-Series! Not to worry we are still here!!

In view of the directive of the Corporate Affairs Commission as regards Registered Business Names and Incorporated Companies, we are starting a new series which will run for the next couple of weeks!!!

What is our aim with this new series? To offer premium legal services to Start Ups, Companies and the Business Community as a whole. So if you fall into any of the identified categories, stay with us!

Annual-Returns-Series (Pt.1)

·      *  If you have registered your business name or incorporated your Company, the law requires you to file Annual Returns alongside some other legal documents prepared by a lawyer yearly. Of course, this is subject to certain exceptions provided by the law.

·       *  As long as the business name has been registered and/or the Company incorporated, you MUST file ANNUAL RETURNS.


·       *  Where ANNUAL RETURNS is not filed duly and in the manner prescribed by law, the Corporate Affairs Commission has the power to remove the name of such a Business or Company from her portal.

·        * The implication of the above, is that the Company and/or Business ceases to be a going concern. And more worrisome, is the fact that the NAME (which is already known and peculiar to your brand) can be given to someone else. WAOH!

To be continued.

Do you need help filing your Annual Returns? Would you like to talk to a lawyer about your business and the appropriate legal structure?    Please reach out to us on: 08090956207 or onlinelawclinicteam@gmail.com

In view of the nature of this platform, and our targeted audience, this discourse will be limited to basic knowledge and devoid of legal terminologies (as much as possible). We will consider 6 talking points, subtitled: "THE 6 W'S OF WILLS" our aim with these talking points is to answer “often asked” questions about WILLS. 1. What is a will? 2. Who can make a will? 3. Why do I need a will? 4. What makes a will valid? 5. What can be done to protect my will? 6. What if I change my mind? WHAT IS A WILL? 🤔 A will is a written document, that states in details, the way and manner the maker’s properties are to be disposed, shared, distributed etc., upon death. These properties, include money, houses, cars, pets, land, money in the bank account, pension fund etc. WHO CAN MAKE A WILL? 🤔 🤔 Generally, any sane person above
