Business setup & local support

Build it in Nigeria.
Run it from abroad.

Put the right foundations, people and digital presence behind your business. BFA brings practical guidance and coordinated implementation together, so your next move has a plan and people responsible for delivery.

Discuss your business needs

Evidence before investment. Profit + Peace.

Choose what you need

Three ways to move things forward

Start with one service or combine support around your priorities. Every engagement has an agreed scope and quote.

Establish the foundations

Company registration, brand protection and the financial setup your business needs.

Explore setup services

Make It Official: company or business-name registration coordination.
The Name Game: preliminary brand-name and protection review.
Make Your Mark: trademark application support.
Books Behaving: relevant tax registrations, bookkeeping and accounting setup.
Bank Ready: business banking application support.

Company-name registration and trademark protection are separate. We identify the right specialist support for each.

Get ready to be found

A clear website, useful marketing assets and a considered start with Meta advertising.

Explore digital services

Your Digital Shopfront: a business website shaped around your offer.
Look the Business: starter brand and marketing assets.
Ready Set Ads: Meta campaign launch setup.
Keep It Clicking: ongoing advertising management under a separate monthly scope.

Your domain, website and advertising accounts belong to you. Advertising spend and ongoing subscriptions are identified separately.

Put local support in place

People, practical checks and clear controls for work happening while you are abroad.

Explore local support

Team on the Ground: recruitment support for agreed roles.
Mission Control: responsibilities, spending approvals, operating procedures and reporting.
Eyes on the Ground: local verification and field coordination for an agreed task and location.

Site visits and ongoing operations are scoped individually. We agree the provider, location, evidence and reporting before work starts.

Roots Down

Registration coordination and accounting setup.

Hello Market

A website, starter marketing assets and Meta ads launch setup.

Launch & ROAM

Your quote specifies what is included, professional fees, official charges and other external costs. Recruitment and field visits are added only where agreed.

How we work

A clear brief. Named responsibilities.

Tell us your next move
Share your business stage, location and the support you need. You can enquire directly without joining the Lab first.
Agree the right work
We confirm scope, providers, fees and milestones. Where detailed research is needed, The Next Move assessment or concept note is agreed and paid for before that work starts.
Build and hand over
Work progresses against agreed approvals and updates. You receive completed documents and assets, account access and a clear record of any outstanding actions.

Davinia leads business direction. Dayo leads setup and local implementation coordination, bringing in the appropriate legal, accounting and operational specialists. Your written proposal identifies who is responsible for each deliverable.

Learning and implementation can work together

The Business Lab helps you test decisions and identify what needs putting in place. Optional registration, recruitment, website and marketing delivery can progress alongside your work through a separate agreement. You can also use your own providers or implement independently.

Explore the Business Lab

What should I budget for?

We quote for the work your business actually needs. The proposal separates professional fees from official charges, software, hosting, advertising spend, salaries, travel and any other external costs. Additional work or spending needs your written approval.

Will everything be finished in six weeks?

We agree a realistic delivery plan around your readiness, funding, documents and provider timelines. Registrations, bank approvals, recruitment and advertising reviews can involve external decisions. Completed work is handed over with owners and dates for anything still in progress.

How do fees and specialist responsibilities work?

We explain whether BFA delivers through its providers or you engage a specialist directly. There are no hidden vendor commissions. Learning materials provide general guidance; specialist legal, tax and accounting work is delivered under the relevant engagement. See our service terms and privacy policy.
