What's your compliance score?

3 questions. 60 seconds. No sign-up needed.

Step 1 of 3 — Business Type

40 million Nigerian businesses.
Invisible, locked out, vulnerable.

🏦

Invisible to Finance

Banks can't lend to unregistered entities. Formal credit, grants, and investment remain out of reach — regardless of track record.

📋

Locked Out of Procurement

Government and corporate contracts require CAC, TCC, and pension compliance. Informal businesses can't compete — no matter how capable.

⚠️

Vulnerable to Enforcement

Without registration and tax compliance, businesses face arbitrary levies, sudden shutdowns, and penalties with zero legal protection.

One platform.
Built for three different needs.

Whether you run a solo trade business, lead a cooperative of 500 members, or advise clients as a professional — JUSTRA has a specific programme for you.

Before JUSTRA, I didn't know I needed NSITF for my 3 workers. Now I'm compliant and just won my first government workshop contract.

Illustrative scenarios based on real Nigerian business compliance journeys.

New in 2026

The Tax Act 2025 just made
formalising a tax-saving move.

Under the Nigerian Tax Act 2025 (effective January 2026), companies with turnover under ₦100M pay 0% company income tax. For most Nigerian SMEs, formalising is now a tax-saving decision — not just a compliance one.

Other incentives: simplified filing under the JTB reform, streamlined tax types, and reduced compliance burden for micro and small enterprises.

From formalisation to growth.
One continuous journey.

JUSTRA is not just a registration service. It is the infrastructure a Nigerian business builds on — from first CAC registration all the way to institutional finance and market access.

Staying informal is not free.
It is just quietly expensive.

Every Nigerian business without proper registration carries a silent penalty balance. These are the real fines — not hypothetical ones.

₦10,000/month
No CAC registration
CAC annual return penalty accrues monthly; persistent non-filers face business strike-off and name loss
₦500,000+
Late PAYE remittance
10% of unpaid PAYE plus ₦500,000 administrative penalty per incident — applied by state IRS
₦250,000+
No NSITF — worker injured
Plus 2% of monthly payroll for every month of non-coverage; criminal liability possible on construction sites
₦50,000 minimum
Late NRS annual returns
Plus 10% of unpaid tax and 21% p.a. interest — even if no tax is actually owed
Product seizure
Unregistered food product sold
NAFDAC enforcement seizes all unregistered stock; fines start at ₦100,000 with criminal prosecution for repeat offenders
5–10% of income
No TIN — WHT not recovered
Every professional invoice where WHT is deducted becomes a permanent loss without a registered TIN to claim against

JUSTRA starts at ₦3,000/month. One enforcement visit costs more than a full year of compliance management.
