Habaqa / For investors

Real operating businesses, not pitch decks.

Habaqa is where Nigerian small businesses run their day to day, so the register is made of companies that actually trade. Apply for access, read structured profiles, and go deeper only when an owner lets you in.

Applying is free. Access is a monthly subscription once you are approved. No anonymous browsing.

How access works

Apply, and tell us who you are

Your name, your firm if you have one, the sectors you back and your ticket range in naira. Applying costs nothing.

We read it

The Promoat Capital team reviews every application. Owners share more when they know who is looking, so the register stays closed to anonymous browsing.

Subscribe to open the register

Approved investors subscribe monthly. You see the price before you pay, you can cancel any time, and access runs to the end of the month you have paid for.

Request to go deeper

Send a note to a business that interests you. The owner decides. If they accept, their financial bands, registration details and direct contact unlock for you, and only you.

Deal directly

Diligence and terms happen between you and the owner. Habaqa is the venue, not a broker, and takes no fee on the deal.

Structured, comparable, and honest about gaps

Profiles follow one structure, so you compare like with like: sector, location, founding year, team size, revenue and cost bands, profitability, registration status, use of funds and the ask. “Not yet” is an allowed answer, which tells you something too.

  • Revenue in bands, so owners share signal safely
  • Verified badges checked against CAC
  • Photos of the real operation
  • The ask, in naira, with what it is for

The ground rules

Access is the owner’s to give

They can end it, and when they do, you stop using what was shared.

What you see is for evaluating

No republishing, no passing it around, no competing with the business.

We introduce, nothing more

Any investment is your own agreement, after your own diligence.

Questions investors ask us

What does access cost?

Access is a monthly subscription, and it starts once your application is approved. You see the price before you pay, payment is by card, and you can cancel any time. Habaqa still takes no fee on any deal you do.

Why do investors pay a subscription?

Because the register is the thing you are here for, and the tools are the thing they are here for. A business pays nothing to run on Habaqa, beyond processing fees if it takes payments online. Your subscription keeps their side free, and it means we are not selling anyone else the data.

What kind of businesses are on the register?

Nigerian small businesses across sectors: agriculture, retail, food, fashion, services, logistics and more. Many arrive through the Drawbridge Grant, which means they have already been through an application and a review.

How is quality controlled?

One profile structure keeps information comparable, CAC checks back the Verified badge, false answers are grounds for removal, and misleading businesses can be delisted. Diligence stays yours.

Who reviews investor applications?

The Promoat Capital team reads every one, before any money changes hands.
