It focuses on legal registration, regulatory compliance, financial setup, market understanding, and feasibility development within the Nigerian operating environment.

The programme is ideal for first-time entrepreneurs, professionals transitioning into business ownership, and informal operators seeking to formalise their enterprises. It replaces guesswork with clear, step-by-step guidance rooted in local realities.

Learning is highly practical, with facilitators providing real-time feedback on participants’ business ideas and documentation. Peer accountability ensures steady progress throughout the intensive programme timeline.

Expected Outcomes and Graduate Capabilities

By completion, participants possess a legally registered or registration-ready business and a comprehensive feasibility study suitable for funding or launch decisions. Graduates understand Nigerian market behaviour, regulatory requirements, and basic financial planning.
