Buyer Safety Guide

Procure from Nigerian producers with a clear verification routine

Use this guide before sending deposits, approving production, or arranging interstate dispatch. NaijaMade helps buyers discover producers, but every commercial decision remains between buyer and seller.

VerifyCAC

Match legal name, RC/BN number, and active status before deposits.

InspectSamples

Approve physical samples before scaling any bulk purchase order.

PayCompany only

Use corporate bank accounts that match verified business records.

ShipDocumented

Agree waybill, carrier, insurance, and handoff terms in writing.

Core Protocols

Six checks before payment or dispatch

Run the steps in sequence for bulk, custom, interstate, or repeat procurement.

01

Federal registry

Confirm CAC Registration Independently

Treat the listing as a starting point, then verify the producer identity through official company records.

  • Search the official CAC company search service using the producer name or RC/BN number.
  • Match the legal name against the invoice, account name, and listing details.
  • Save dated evidence for your procurement file before releasing funds.
Primary evidence: current CAC record
02

Batch quality

Request Physical Pre-Production Samples

Specs and catalog photos are not enough for wholesale orders. Inspect a real sample from the current production run.

  • Pay normal sample fees where custom production is required.
  • Ask for time-stamped production photos or video when ordering remotely.
  • Keep a golden sample for comparison before final dispatch approval.
Recommended: sample before scale
03

Site inspection

Validate Factory Location and Capacity

Confirm that the seller can produce or source the quantity they are offering within the stated timeline.

  • Visit the factory, workshop, farm, or warehouse where practical.
  • Use a trusted local representative when buying from another state.
  • Check machinery, raw materials, storage, and dispatch readiness.
Verification: physical or proxy audit
04

Payment controls

Use Proforma Invoices and Company Accounts

Do not send procurement funds to personal accounts, third-party wallets, or names that differ from the business record.

  • Require a formal proforma invoice with company details and supply terms.
  • Ensure the receiving bank account matches the verified legal entity.
  • Use staged payments tied to sample approval, production, and dispatch.
Rule: no personal account transfers
05

Logistics control

Agree Transit and Waybill Terms Upfront

Define responsibility for pickup, park delivery, interstate freight, insurance, and proof of dispatch before payment closes.

  • Name the carrier, park, pickup point, and delivery contact in writing.
  • Verify waybill numbers directly with the transporter before final release.
  • Use insurance or extra inspection steps for high-value consignments.
Clarify: ex-factory, park, or direct freight
06

Commercial reality

Reject Unrealistic Discounts and Pressure

Fraudulent offers often rely on urgency, dramatic discounts, or refusal to document production and payment terms.

  • Compare quotes across states, clusters, and similar minimum order quantities.
  • Walk away from pressure tactics such as one-day clearance claims.
  • Question prices that ignore raw material, power, labor, and transport costs.
Signal: if it defies input cost, pause

From discovery to documented dispatch

A practical sequence for procurement teams, resellers, and remote buyers.

  1. 01

    Discover and record

    Shortlist the product, producer, listing URL, business name, and claimed registration details.

  2. 02

    Verify identity

    Run CAC checks, compare invoices, and confirm direct contact belongs to the listed producer.

  3. 03

    Approve proof

    Inspect samples, photos, videos, or a local representative report before ordering at scale.

  4. 04

    Document payment and dispatch

    Use proforma invoices, staged releases, corporate accounts, and traceable waybill terms.

Buyer Questions

Common safety answers

Does NaijaMade process payments or offer escrow?

No. NaijaMade is a discovery directory. Payments, escrow decisions, contracts, inspections, and logistics are handled directly between buyers and producers.

What does a verified or Verified producer signal mean?

It can help buyers start review faster, but it is not a guarantee of delivery, product quality, or commercial performance. Always run your own checks before payment.

What should I do if a producer asks for payment to a personal account?

Pause the transaction. Ask for a company account matching the verified legal entity and a formal invoice. If the seller refuses, do not proceed.

How should remote buyers handle inspection?

Use a trusted representative, inspection agent, or local business partner to validate the factory, sample, quantity, and dispatch handoff before final payment.
