The hardest thing to buy from outside Nigeria is not information. It is someone you can trust to check.
We verify partners, sites and counterparties for foreign capital entering Nigeria — with our own staff, physically, in the places the deal is happening.
Three ways we stand between your capital and a decision you cannot reverse.
Know the cost before you commit the capital
Counterparty checks, site visits, corporate filings, and the regulatory path priced honestly — including the costs nobody publishes. We report what our people found, including when the answer is nothing.
Consultancy →Meet a partner whose books have been checked
Introductions to Nigerian distributors, manufacturers, logistics operators and joint-venture partners — after verification, not before. We tell you what we checked and what we could not.
B2B matchmaking →Hire the operator who already knows the terrain
C-suite and senior commercial search for foreign firms entering West Africa. Credentials verified at source — employment, qualifications and references confirmed in country.
Talent & careers →Most people offering you access to Nigeria are one person with a phone.
We have staff. When you ask whether a supplier's facility exists, we do not ask a contact and relay the answer — someone from our team goes to the address, photographs what is there, and reports what they found.
And a principal in Istanbul, in your time zone, who answers.
Scoped, priced, and delivered in writing.
Calibration call
Thirty minutes. What you are trying to do, where the money is going, and what you already believe about the market. We tell you plainly whether we are the right people for it.
Scope and fee, in writing
A fixed-fee brief setting out exactly what will be checked, by whom, in which city, and by when. You approve it before anything begins. No commission, no percentage, no interest in the deal closing.
Field work
Our people go. Sites are visited, filings pulled, references called, principals met. You receive interim notes rather than silence.
Report and recommendation
What we verified, what we could not verify, and what we would do in your position. Findings that go against the deal are reported the same as findings that support it.
Tell us what you are trying to verify.
