A FEW THINGS TO KNOW

Good questions.
Clear answers.

Start informed. Your professional confirms the details that apply to your business.

Can I use Rootbase if I live outside Nigeria?+

Yes. The workspace lets you prepare information, share documents and follow the work remotely. Some services can require physical inspections, biometrics, original documents or a bank visit; those requirements are confirmed before you commit.

My business is already registered. Can you help?+

Yes. Add your existing business and request support with annual returns, tax matters, registrations, licences or ongoing administration. A professional reviews what applies and any outstanding work.

Does submitting a form file it with the government?+

No. Sending a preparation form starts professional review. Requirements, authorisation and fees are confirmed before the appropriate person completes the agency submission. Approval evidence is recorded separately.

Do all businesses need the same compliance services?+

No. Requirements depend on structure, activity, location, ownership, staff and other factors. Your checklist and deadlines need professional confirmation; a tracked deadline alone is not proof of compliance.

Are government fees included in the advertised prices?+

The prices above are launch estimates. The final itemised quote identifies government charges, professional fees and the platform fee, and makes clear which amounts are included and which are additional.

What happens when my annual plan ends?+

Renewal is agreed through a new quote and invoice. Cancellation and any domain, email or phone transfer arrangements are handled with the team under your agreed service terms.
