Run your business with the lights on.
Seven free tools, built for Nigerian small businesses — to know your numbers, claim the funding you qualify for, keep your bearings, and get ready for the big moves: investment, export, loans and NAFDAC.
Stories inspire. Tools keep you alive.
For years, naijapreneur has told the stories of Nigerian entrepreneurs — through MINE 1000 and everything we publish. But behind the wins, we kept seeing the same quiet truth: most small businesses here don't fail for lack of hustle. They fail in the blind spots.
Not knowing their real cash position until the account is already empty. Missing grants and funding that were sitting there for the taking. Mistaking being busy for making progress. So we built the practical companion to our storytelling — free tools made for the realities of doing business in Nigeria, from diesel and FX to clients who pay late.
Three things decide whether a business makes it: cash, capital, and clarity. There's a tool here for each.
SME Cashflow & Runway Tracker
Most businesses don't die from one dramatic mistake — they run out of cash quietly, while the owner is still optimistic. In a few minutes a month, see whether you actually made money, and the one number that matters most: how long you'd survive if the income stopped today.

Grant & Funding Finder
There is real money set aside for businesses like yours — grants, programmes and soft funding, in Nigeria and abroad. Most owners never claim a naira of it, because they don't know it exists or assume they won't qualify. Answer a few questions and see exactly which programmes you're eligible for, with amounts, deadlines and links.

The Entrepreneur's Journey Scorecard™
Growth in the wrong direction is just expensive motion. Once a year — best on your birthday — score your last twelve months across five principles, and uncover the single bottleneck quietly holding everything back. The tool that makes sure you're building a business worth building.

Four checklists for the big decisions.
The three tools above keep the business alive. These next four get you ready for the moves that grow it — raising money, going global, borrowing, and getting your product certified. Each one scores how ready you are and shows you the very next gap to close.
Investor Readiness Checklist™
Investors don't buy potential — they buy a business they can verify. Score how ready yours is to survive diligence — cap table, financials, traction — before you send a deck.
Open the Investor Checklist →Export Readiness Checklist™
Earning in dollars is the clearest hedge against a weak naira — but the ports reward paperwork. Check whether you can legally and profitably ship across the border: NEPC, NXP, certification and logistics.
Open the Export Checklist →Loan Readiness Checklist™
Most SMEs are invisible to lenders — not unviable, just illegible. See how financeable your business looks to a bank, BOI or the DBN today, and what to fix to become legible.
Open the Loan Checklist →NAFDAC Readiness Checklist™
For any food, drink, cosmetic or drug, the NAFDAC number is the line between a brand and a liability. Check if your product, premises and paperwork can survive registration before you apply.
