Nigeria is one of the world’s leading business locations on the African continent. But when it comes to doing business in Nigeria, there are several challenges confront a typical Nigerian business. In 2016, out of 189 countries, Nigeria was ranked 169th in the World Bank’s Ease of Doing Business Report.
80% of new businesses and startups in Nigeria fail within the first 3 years. Doing business in Nigeria could be a wonderful experience when your business venture succeeds, however before success there could be great challenges and difficulties that a new business or startup has to phase.
Starting up a business venture generally comes with its own business risk that may hamper the growth of such business but some problems and challenges are very common to all businesses in Nigeria. In this article, we highlighted the top 5 challenges of doing business in Nigeria and how to overcome such challenges in other to make sure they don’t kill your business.

1. Access to capital & credit.
One of the most difficult tasks, for any entrepreneur that wants to start up their very own small business, is to raise capital for it. Simply put, capital is the amount of money the business has available to spend on various business activities. Except you’re one of the rich kids in the block, raising capital is never an easy task and often requires a lot of determination and patience.
Lack of financial capital is the single most significant challenge when it comes to doing business in Nigeria. Even with the conceptualization and implementation of financial programs meant to support businesses, the government has always been in a struggling position to ensure that financial capital is easily made accessible to entrepreneurs. In most cases, entrepreneurs have to turn to personal savings, business loans, families and friends, or government grants to get financial capital for business.

2. Electricity / Power Supply.
Getting access to constant electricity and a power supply is a major concern for business in Nigeria. As of June 2018, an average household in Nigeria can only have access to 6 hours uninterrupted power supply out of the 24 hours that exist in a given day. This is why the use of generators as an alternative power source is so common in Nigeria.
9 of 10 houses in Lagos State alone has at least one power generator as an alternative source of power. Over the past decades, successive governments have unsuccessfully endeavored to tackle Nigeria’s energy deficit problem. The current Minister of Power, Works and Housing, Mr. Raji Fashola, has blamed inadequate electricity supply to consumers on lack of sufficient financial investments in the power sector.

3. Government regulations.
The government plays a major role in the decision of how business gets done in Nigeria. No government or economic system leaves all decisions about doing business to the market. These regulations are meant to keep businesses in-check and ensure that follow a common rule. The law that guides doing business is known as Companies & Allied Matters Act (CAMA).
African countries rank low on the World Bank’s ‘Doing Business’ ratings. This is mostly due to the difficulty involved with setting up a business. In Nigeria, it can take between 2 weeks and 1 month to set-up a business which always involves jumping through a number of regulatory hoops. The government is becoming more supportive of local start-up ecosystems, but generally, the Nigerian government needs to do more to make doing business easier and more interesting.

4. Corruption & Bribery.
While Nigeria is among the world’s leading investment destinations and is formally a well-functioning business environment, corruption and bribery are still serious obstacles. The federal structure of the political system means there is a wide range of regulatory agencies, which can lead to demands for bribes from public officials.
In 2013, Nigeria was ranked 14 most corrupt country in the world according to Transparency International’s corruption perception index, and organized crime is a significant problem in some parts of the country. However, this is something the current administration of President M. Buhari is fighting hard against at all government levels.

5. Market developments.
The main thing we are talking about here is disruption, such as digital or technological disruption. It is something that is affecting businesses of all industries in Nigeria. There is also market risk around the fact that there is global uncertainty around economic growth. When you are unsure of the direction that the entire economy is going to take, it makes business planning and strategy development a great deal more difficult and risky.
In a bid to prepare for this risks, many corporate organizations (such as banks) are now supporting start-ups, so that they are part of the disruption, or are developing smaller, more agile and very independent parts of their own organization to look to the future and be aware of new trends in the market that can affect how business is done.

Expats looking to do business in Nigeria, and especially those who have never done business on the African continent before, will certainly have to prepare themselves for some unique challenges.
Although great strides have been made within the corporate world in Nigeria – one of the most oil-rich countries in the world and Africa's largest economy – the country still suffers from massive corruption and a debilitating lack of infrastructure; two factors that can make doing business difficult, to say the least.
However, expats should remember that a tremendous amount of business does get done in Nigeria, and jaded or pessimistic views about the country are not always well deserved.
Nevertheless, doing business in Nigeria is challenging, as illustrated by numerous international business surveys. Most notably, Nigeria ranked 146th (out of 190 countries) in the World Bank's 2019 Ease of Doing Business Survey. This marked a solid improvement from its previous ranking of 169th and the country performed well for factors such as ease of getting credit (12th) and protecting minority investors (32nd), but it continues to rank extremely poorly for factors such as getting electricity (171st), registering property (184th) and trading across borders (182nd).

Fast facts:....
Business language
In a country that claims many different ethnic groups and dialects, English has emerged as the de facto language of business in Nigeria
Gender equality
Nigeria remains a patriarchal society, with traditional roles for men and women largely adhered to. However, there are plenty of opportunities for women and many women can be found in senior positions within both the corporate and political sphere.

Business culture in Nigeria
Business culture in Nigeria is subject to a number of variable forces; over 250 different ethnic groups co-exist in the country and many foreign-owned multinationals have operations there. Business etiquette, therefore, demands that expats remain flexible and willing to improvise.
Since it is vital to cement a working business relationship with associates, be prepared to be patient and to wait for this trust to develop before diving into the nuts and bolts of business discussions. For this reason, business meetings in Nigeria are very social occasions, providing the framework for the creation of solid interpersonal connections.

Management style
The management style typically found in Nigeria is extremely hierarchical. The boss – invariably male, and almost always of an older generation – will expect and will receive respect from all those working beneath him, and will never be publicly criticised. However, this does not necessarily mean that all decisions are made from the top down; business relationships are extremely important in Nigeria and, often, compromises can be reached.
Nigerian business leaders tend to lead strongly, giving their employees instructions that are expected to be followed closely. Teamwork and the ability to work together toward clearly defined goals are considered more valuable assets in the Nigerian workplace than independent thinking or individualistic efforts.

Attitude to foreigners
Nigerians are famously friendly and hospitable people who take a genuine interest in the lives and experiences of foreigners. If one makes an effort to get to know the locals, this friendliness will be repaid tenfold.

Industrialization and The Nigerian Economy

Industry plays a major role in the economic growth of any country. Highly industrialized nations boast of developed economies and can afford high standards of living for the citizens. Industrialization creates jobs, enables a better environment and ensures stabilization of the economy. The structure of any economy should be one which has industry playing a dominant role in its composition.
The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are universal goals and targets that were initiated in 2015. They replaced the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) which started a global effort to tackle the indignity of poverty. Two of the goals (SDGs 8 & 9) align with the industrial development of nations.
Over the years, the Nigerian economy has recorded phenomenal growth due to its industrial sector, with the small-scale industry taking a pivotal role in this race. This industry is the backbone of the economy, sustaining development from the grassroots. It creates jobs, various sources of income, wealth and contributes to the improved standard of living of the populace.
Nigeria regards the promotion, growth and development of industries as the most reliable way of building an economically stable and viable country. It has since assumed the industrial objectives of achieving self-reliance, self-sufficiency, foreign exchange savings, balanced regional development and reduction in unemployment rates which would lead to the urgent realization of economic independence.
Some of the flourishing industries in Nigeria include the Fashion Industry, Entertainment Industry, Manufacturing Industry and Agricultural Industry.

Fashion Industry:
The fashion industry grows and expands daily. For example, Nigeria’s apparel and footwear industry is estimated to have a market worth of $4.7 Billion. Nigerian labels such as Maki Oh, recently worn by Beyonce, Jewel by Lisa and Ikire Jones are establishing themselves as international brands. Soon, many more Nigerian designs, made in Nigeria products from locally sourced materials will grace more fashion stores across the world. This is largely due to growing interest in Africa’s cultural traditions including its vibrant hues, colourful fabrics such as wax, printed/dyed cotton and the high quality of craftsmanship.

Manufacturing Industry:
This industry is dominated by firms in the food (30.17 per cent) and garment (22.28 per cent) sub-sectors. Wood and furniture products which constitute a significant proportion of the industry represent 27 and 13 per cent respectively. Although the manufacturing industry has shown strong growth in recent years, the sector faces on-going challenges including epileptic power supply, poor infrastructure, poor plant maintenance and heavy dependency on agricultural inputs. Its strengths include a semi-skilled work force, the availability of domestically sourced inputs and most importantly, a huge domestic demand for consumer products. It therefore displays great potentials for future expansion.

Agriculture Industry;
Agriculture is an important industry in the Nigerian economy. Basically, it provides employment opportunities for the teeming population, eradicates poverty and contributes immensely to the growth of the economy.
Despite Nigeria’s rich endowment in black oil and other mineral resources, the wellbeing of her economy still largely depends on the agricultural sector. It is the largest contributor to the nation’s GDP (average 38% in the last 8 years) with crops accounting for 80%, forestry 3% and fishery 4%. It provides employment for about 65% of the adult labour force and takes care of the food and fiber needs of a large and increasing population. The agro-industrial enterprise depends on the sector for raw materials while 88% of the non-oil exports earnings come from the sector.

Why should I invest in Nigeria?

Nigeria may be better suited for experienced exporters rather than early-stage start-ups since it requires significant time and resources. However, despite challenges, not least of which is the possibility of carrying a loss for a few years, there are certainly rewards to be made for the experienced and intrepid investor.
Since 2005 Nigeria has been considered to be among the "Next Eleven": the countries identified by Goldman Sachs investment bank as having a high potential of becoming, along with the BRICS, the world's largest economies. The growth is driven by a population of 193.4 million (2016 National Bureau of Statistics estimate) - growing at over 3% per annum - and by an affluent and an increasing middle class. The "cosmopolitans" (higher middle class) and the affluent, together 10% of the population or 17 million people, account for 40% of total consumption. Another 21% of the population, or 36m people, could be considered "rising strivers!" and are therefore of interest to multinationals. About 65% of the Nigerian population is younger than 25 years.
Nigeria has consistently been ranked as one of the top three destinations for foreign direct investment (FDI) in Africa over the past decade until 2014, with Nigeria's FDI stock reaching 98.73 billion in 2016, a 3% increase from 2015. While most of the investment is directed at the oil & gas sector, FDI flows are diversifying.

Nigeria has introduced a number of incentives to assist foreign investors. The Nigerian Investment Promotion Commission Act ensures that investors can repatriate 100% of profits and dividends, and that 100% ownership of companies is allowed in all sectors apart from oil & gas. (While there are no restrictions on repatriating money for foreign entities, there are restrictions if all directors are Nigerian). Other incentives include a favourable Companies Income Tax, Pioneer Status Grants, Free Trade Zones and tax relief for research and development. A full list of government incentives can be found on the NIPC website.
