“We had an understanding” has stolen more money from Nigerian business owners than any y@hoo boy ever will.

Nobody wants to hear it. But protecting yourself (your business) is YOUR responsibility.

In Nigeria, verbal agreements are legally recognized. But try explaining that to a judge without documentation and watch how fast your case becomes a “he said… she said.”

@AndyjnrUmaru My dad started a fish pond farm on one of his lands but couldn’t complete it due to sickness and now he just wants to sell off the land. I am seriously against it but it’s up to me to find an investor who can invest in us by completing the farm, and helping us to start.

Most Nigerian business owners are running ghost businesses and don’t even know it.

Let me explain 🧵👇🏾

5. She had been “planning to register” for months. But N10 million is what procrastination looks like in real life.

How much has yours cost you already?

4. Banks, investors, and grant agencies would always deal with a registered business. And if your business isn’t registered, the conversation always ends before it starts.

3. ANYONE can walk into the CAC registry and register your business name before you ( your logo, your brand, the name your clients know you by), and it would be legally theirs and there’s nothing you can do.

[Media Esquire @media_esquire]

2. What “no CAC” actually means in Nigeria is:
- you cannot open a corporate bank account
- ⁠you cannot legally bid for government contracts
- ⁠you cannot sue a client who refuses to pay
- ⁠you have no exclusive right to your own business name

[Media Esquire @media_esquire]

1. A caterer lost a N10 million government contract last year. Not because she couldn’t deliver or her price was too high. But because she had no CAC registration. So on paper her business did not exist.

Today’s a public holiday, most are at home relaxing or just having fun. Guess who are denied of doing such? The children kidnapped in Oyo, Borno and now Kogi. It’s almost a month with no food, proper care or shelter.

Pls Bring Them Home 🙏🏾
