Regulatory Compliance

Navigate Nigeria's regulatory landscape with confidence.

SCUML, NAFDAC, SON, DPR, NIPC, PENCOM, NSITF, ITF and BPP — we manage licensing, renewals and audit-readiness so your business stays operational and penalty-free.

Service Overview

One partner for every regulator you answer to.

Nigerian businesses operating in regulated sectors are typically accountable to several agencies at once, each with its own filing calendar and documentation standard. Libacon consolidates that burden into a single point of contact, tracking deadlines and managing submissions across every relevant regulator.

Beyond first-time registration, we provide ongoing compliance management — renewals, audits, and remediation — so your licences never lapse and your business stays ready for due diligence at any time.

Who Needs This Service

  • Manufacturers and importers requiring NAFDAC or SON approval
  • Companies needing PENCOM, NSITF or ITF statutory registration

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions.

Which regulators does Libacon manage compliance for?

We handle SCUML, NAFDAC, SON, DPR, NIPC, PENCOM, NSITF, ITF, BPP and factory licensing, among others, depending on your sector.

What happens if my licence lapses?

A lapsed licence can expose your business to penalties and disrupt operations; our ongoing compliance tracking is designed specifically to prevent this.

Do I need SCUML registration if I'm not a bank?

SCUML applies to designated non-financial businesses such as real estate firms, dealers in jewellery, and consultants; we can confirm whether it applies to your specific activity.

Can you handle compliance for a business that's already operating?

Yes — a compliance audit is often the first step for operating businesses, so we can identify and close any existing gaps.

How often do compliance requirements need to be renewed?

Renewal cycles vary by regulator, from annual to multi-year; we track each licence's specific renewal date on your behalf.
