1. Business type
Sole proprietorship, partnership or company. This drives most registration and governance obligations.
Start-Up Compliance
Launch the right way. Stay compliant from day one.
Nigerian businesses rarely fail compliance because they decided not to comply. They fail because nobody mapped what applied to them.

- Intellectual propertyWhat protects your name and your product.
Why this exists
The expensive problems are the ones nobody knew about.
A filing deadline passes during a busy quarter. A permit turns out to have been required a year ago. A brand name is already registered by someone else. Personal data has been collected for two years with no lawful basis recorded.
Every one of these is cheap to prevent and expensive to fix. The obstacle is that most founders have never been given a clear, prioritised picture of what applies to them.
This tool gives you that picture, grouped into registrations, permits, filings, data, intellectual property and foundational next steps, with timing and urgency for each.
How it works
Four questions. One roadmap.
2. Industry
Sector determines which regulators have authority and which permits to investigate.
3. Team size
Headcount triggers employment, payroll and pension obligations at different thresholds.
4. Special requirements
Permits, intellectual property, data compliance or regulatory licensing.
What you get
A roadmap you can act on.
Organised, prioritised and downloadable, so it goes straight into your own planning.
- A journey map showing every stage from registration to ongoing obligations.
- Grouped by registrations, permits, filings, data, IP and foundations.
- Prioritised as do first, first 90 days, or ongoing.
- Explained in plain English, with typical timing.
- Downloadable as a PDF you can share.
- Saved as you go, so you can finish later.
What this tool is, and what it is not.
The roadmap is general information generated from the answers you give. It is not legal advice,
it does not take account of your circumstances, and using it does not create a lawyer and client
relationship with Yoake Legal. Requirements change, so some items will need to be confirmed.
