One of our most effective tools for helping Nigerian companies develop relationship with the U.S. exporters and investors is our Networking with the USA (NUSA) registration process. This program enables you to become an active working partner with our office, as well as provide you access to our trade and investment matching products and services. Important too, your registration with NUSA bestows upon you invaluable business credibility which has become a prerequisite to U.S. Exporters’ readiness for transactions involving Nigerian companies.

There are two options for NUSA registration, namely, basic and enhanced.

The BASIC registration provides cursory but vital information about the company’s existence and legitimacy and includes a non-refundable registration fee of USD 250 or Nigerian Naira 33,000, while the ENHANCED registration considers – in addition to those of basic – the critical elements of the company’s financial status and principal owners in its detailed report with a non-refundable registration fee of USD 600 or Nigerian Naira 79,000.
