Lagos Startup Checklist For Yaba & Lekki Founders Going Live

One link runs the Lagos startup checklist — CAC private limited, NIN, Startup Act 2022 label, Paystack + Flutterwave wired up, lean MVP build, first 10 customers in naira.

Building a startup out of Yaba, Lekki, or Ikeja means navigating CAC registration, the Startup Act 2022 label, FIRS tax, and choosing between Paystack and Flutterwave for payments — none of which is in the Y Combinator playbook. This Lagos startup checklist combo wapin runs the lean spine with the actual Lagos steps pre-filled: CAC private limited registration (~₦50k), TIN from FIRS, Startup Act 2022 label application (3-year tax holiday for labelled startups), Paystack + Flutterwave payment rails wired up, NIN verification for the founders, and a smoke-test in Yoruba/Igbo/Hausa-relevant Nigerian English. Your Lagos startup checklist holds the founder burn-rate in naira on a split-money block, the launch countdown with real Lagos public-holiday awareness, the first-10-customers scoreboard tracking ARR in ₦, and a poll for which payment provider to lead with. As a Lagos startup checklist it works because every co-founder — including the one in Abuja or in the diaspora — sees the same registration progress on the same WhatsApp link. Run the Lagos startup checklist once and the next Yaba founder you mentor will use the Lagos startup checklist too.
