###Im assuming you've a grounding in cybersec. At least, you must have passed your CISMP or equivalent.
Also visit TryHackMe & play around.
If you havent any grounding in cybersec, forget it. Or how else will you know which cybersec you are offering your potential clients? Pentesting (ethical hacking)? Vulnerability scanning? Soc analyst? Etc

4. **Legal Requirements:** Register your business with the appropriate government authorities, obtain any necessary licenses or permits, and comply with taxation regulations.

5. **Company Structure:** Decide on your business structure (e.g., sole proprietorship, partnership, limited liability company) and register accordingly. This will impact your liability and taxes.

6. **Location and Office Setup:** Choose a suitable location for your office. Ensure it meets your operational needs and is accessible to clients and employees.
###Could be remote too. But work it all out before starting at all.

12. **Compliance and Regulations:** Stay updated on cybersecurity regulations and compliance standards in Nigeria to ensure your services meet legal requirements.

13. **Cyber Insurance:** Consider obtaining cyber liability insurance to protect your business and clients in case of data breaches or other cyber incidents.
###you must be ready for this as hackers get more sophisticated and more desperate daily. This one, ehn?

14. **Continuous Learning:** Cybersecurity is a rapidly evolving field. Encourage ongoing professional development for your team to stay up-to-date with the latest threats and trends.
###this one alone ehn, will keep you permanently on your toes with sleepless nights. Threats, vulnerabilities, etc are so many. Those are the identified ones alone and then there are the ones we call Zero-day attacks. These are fresh from the bakery. Daily, hot, fresh. Lol.

Good luck!❤
