The opportunity
39.6 million MSMEs run on exercise books and fear FIRS penalties
Nigeria has 39.6 million micro, small, and medium enterprises. 18 million use smartphones. 3.5 million are CAC-registered entities. Yet most operate without formal compliance infrastructure, leaving them exposed to regulatory sanctions that cost billions annually.
Frontier Catalyst Advisory is building the technology to change that, starting with AI-powered audit and contract intelligence, then expanding into the full compliance operating system for African businesses.

Renewal & Obligation Tracker
Every date found in a contract is watched. Automatic email reminders fire before each deadline so renewals, notice periods, and payment obligations are never missed.
Agreement Capture from Chat
Paste or forward a WhatsApp conversation and ContractMind turns it into a structured, dated summary, capturing the deals that were never written down as formal contracts.
