Re-Registration and Company Type Conversion – Complete CAC Processing Support

As businesses evolve, their legal structure often needs to evolve as well. Whether you're upgrading your enterprise from a Business Name to a Limited Company, converting from a Private Limited to a Public Limited Company, or reorganising your NGO structure, these changes must be formally recorded through the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC).

Re-registration and company type conversion ensures your business structure accurately reflects your operations, governance needs, and compliance obligations.

Our team provides full CAC processing support to make your transition seamless, legally compliant, and professionally handled.

What Is Re-Registration / Company Type Conversion?

Re-registration is the official conversion of an existing registered entity into another legally recognized structure. This may include:

  • Business Name → Limited Liability Company

  • Private Limited Company (Ltd) → Public Limited Company (Plc)

  • Company Limited by Guarantee → Company Limited by Shares (under specific conditions)

  • Unlimited Company → Limited Company

  • NGO/Trustee Structure → Incorporated Trustees restructuring

  • Conversion of a Limited Company to Unlimited (rare but possible)

These transitions involve legal documentation, resolutions, regulatory consents, and CAC approval.

Why Companies Apply for Re-Registration

Businesses typically convert their legal structure when they need:

  • A stronger corporate image

  • Separation of personal and business liability

  • Ability to raise capital or invite investors

  • Compliance with regulatory or sector requirements

  • Governance restructuring

  • Expansion into new industries or markets

  • Formalization of ownership and shareholding

Whatever your reason, the process must be fully compliant with the Companies and Allied Matters Act (CAMA).
