Business Plan Writing
Services in Nigeria
Most funding applications are not rejected because the business is bad. They are rejected because the plan did not answer the questions the funder was actually asking. We write plans that do — from ₦180,000, with the price published so you are not guessing.

Why Good Businesses Lose Funding
If you have ever submitted an application for a loan or a grant and heard nothing back, it is worth understanding what happened on the other side of that desk.
Funders — whether a commercial bank in Lagos, the Bank of Industry, a CBN intervention scheme, a venture fund, or a European donor programme — do not read your plan looking for inspiration. They read it looking for reasons to say no. A missing cash flow statement is a reason. Projections that do not reconcile with your stated assumptions are a reason. A market section with no data in it is a reason. Formatting that does not follow their published template is, very often, a reason.
Most plans fail on these mechanical grounds long before anyone forms a view about whether the business itself is any good. That is the frustrating part: your idea may never have been assessed at all.
What we actually do. We build the plan backwards from the funder. We start by identifying exactly who you are submitting to, what their evaluation criteria are, and what format they require — then we write to that. It is a less glamorous approach than a beautifully designed generic document, and it is the reason our plans get read properly.
Why our pricing is on this page
Very few consulting firms in Nigeria publish what they charge. We decided to, for a simple reason: it respects your time. You should be able to work out whether we are affordable before investing an hour in a phone call. If our Starter package is the right fit for you, we would rather you know that now — and if a cheaper provider genuinely suits your situation better, you should be free to reach that conclusion without sitting through a sales pitch first.
Match the Plan to the Purpose
The single biggest cause of wasted money on business plans is buying more depth than the purpose requires — or less. Find your situation below.
Applying for a Commercial Bank Loan
Nigerian banks want to see repayment capacity above everything else. A clean 3-year cash flow, realistic revenue assumptions and clear collateral position matter far more than a long narrative.
BOI, CBN or SMEDAN Intervention Funds
These schemes have prescribed formats and specific eligibility thresholds. Applications are frequently rejected purely on non-compliance with the template rather than on the merits of the business.
Raising from Angels or Venture Capital
Equity investors care about the size of the opportunity, unit economics and how they eventually exit. They will read your financial model line by line, and they will ask about your assumptions.
EU, USAID, GIZ or World Bank Programmes
Donor applications require logical frameworks, results matrices, procurement compliance and reporting structures that look nothing like a commercial business plan. This is specialist work.
Large Capital Projects
Manufacturing plants, agro-processing facilities, real estate developments. These need scenario analysis, sensitivity testing and a defensible valuation — because a lot of money rests on the numbers.
Just Starting Out
You have an idea and want to think it through properly before committing money. A plan is useful here, but a feasibility check may be the smarter first spend.
