    Introduction

    Your next customers are already on the public record.

    Banks, lenders, payment companies, internet providers, power companies and firms that win public contracts all appear on official lists. The lists are long, scattered and hard to read. BuyerAtlas reads them for you, and tells you which companies fit what you sell.

    Records from 7 public sources, read once and put in order.

    The situation

    You sell to other businesses in Nigeria.

    You know your product well. What you do not have is a clear list of the companies that should hear about it, with a reason to speak to each one.

    The loss

    Weeks go on companies that were never going to buy.

    A bought list does not say why a company is on it. Building your own means days inside regulator pages and long files. Either way, your team spends its calls on the wrong doors.

    What BuyerAtlas does

    It finds the companies that fit, and shows why.

    Up to 20 companies. Each comes with a reason tied to what you sell, a link to the proof and the date we read it, the role to ask for, and a first message.

    Who decides

    You do, at every step.

    You check what we understood about your business before any list is made. You read every message and send it yourself. BuyerAtlas never contacts anyone.

    The problem

    The information exists. It is just very hard to use.

    Before we built anything, we tested how hard it is to learn the basics about a listed Nigerian company. These are our own counts, on real companies drawn from official lists.

    One company, written three ways on three lists: Mtn Nigeria Communications Plc, MTN Nigeria Communications Limited, MTN Nigeria Communications. BuyerAtlas holds it once.

    14 in 100

    A web search found the official website of only 28 of 200 listed companies. For 99, it offered nothing that looked like the company at all.

    Our test: a web search for 200 listed companies, each result checked on the site's own home page.

    103 of 372

    The regulator's own record pages answered 103 of the 372 times we asked. The address and licence date of a bank are public, but not easy to get.

    Our test: each institution's own record on the regulator's website, asked for once, politely.

    3,526repeats

    The same company appears on several lists, spelled a little differently each time. Of 11,235 records we read, 3,526 were a company we already held.

    Counted while building the base: 11,235 records read, 7,709 companies after joining.

    6,155of 7,709

    That many companies on these official lists have no state on their record. A list of names does not tell you where a company is, or how to reach it.

    Counted from the base as it stands.

    So a seller either pays for a list of unknown origin, or gives a person weeks of this work. BuyerAtlas does the reading and the joining once, keeps the source of every fact, and gives you the result as a short list you can act on.

    Who it is for

    For businesses that sell to other businesses.

    Every buyer on BuyerAtlas is a company: a bank, a lender, a payment company, an internet provider, a power company, a firm that wins public contracts. There are 7,709 of them, and not one member of the public. If your customers are companies like these, it is made for you.

    You sell to banks and lenders

    Lending and banking software, compliance tools, cards, training, audit.

    Before a week of calls

    A founder who does the selling

    One shortlist to start from, with a reason to open each conversation.

    On Monday morning

    A sales lead with a small team

    Each person gets companies that fit and what to say first. Your own customers are left out.

    Before entering the market

    A company outside Nigeria

    See which licensed Nigerian companies fit what you sell, with the public record behind each one.

    For every new client

    An agency that sells for clients

    A workspace for each client, with each client's own customer list kept apart.

    Who it is not for. BuyerAtlas is not for selling to the public. It holds companies, not people, and a card never carries a person's name, phone number or private email.

    What you get

    Two things on every card that a bought list never has.

    Astra Polaris Microfinance Bank Limited

    Astra Polaris Microfinance Bank Limited is on the Central Bank of Nigeria's list of licensed microfinance banks.

    cbn.gov.ngRead on 12 Nov 2026

    On every card

    A reason you can check.

    Every reason restates one fact we hold about the company, and carries the link it came from and the date we read it. If we cannot show where a fact came from, it is not on the card.

    Where the data comes from

    Subject: Cloud loan management software for Astra Polaris MFB

    Astra Polaris Microfinance Bank Limited is on the Central Bank of Nigeria's list of licensed microfinance banks. Lendsqr provides cloud-based loan management software covering the full lending lifecycle, including lending APIs for direct debit and borrower checks, and a back-office tool for managing customers, transactions, teams, and reporting. If you have fifteen minutes, I would welcome a short call to show you what this looks like in practice. If this is not for you, tell me and I will not write again. [Your name] Lendsqr

    Written for Astra Polaris Microfinance Bank Limited. Sent by you.

    On every card

    A message you send yourself.

    An email under 90 words with one fact, one ask and a line that lets them say no. Also a LinkedIn note, a phone opener and a WhatsApp note. There is no send button: you copy it, change it and send it.

    The workspace

    This is the product. Click around.

    These are the real screens, filled by a real run. Lendsqr is a real company. It is not a BuyerAtlas customer and did not take part. We read its public website, the way the product does for anyone.

    Get started
    Workspace / Searches / Lendsqr

    Up to 20 companies that fit. Click one to open its card.

    A real run, shown as the product showed it.

    One credit opens one card.

    What the workspace does

    Eight things it does for you, by name.

    Each one is in the product, and each one was walked from sign up to sign out with a new seller.

    Seller check

    Read what BuyerAtlas understood about you, each line with the words it came from. Change any line before a list is made.

    Customers left out

    Customers your own website names are found and left out. Add the rest of your customers once, and they stay out of every list.

    Your requirements

    Write up to five in your own words. Each is answered from a company's public record: yes, no or unknown. A failed must leaves the company out.

    Your own list

    Bring up to 30 companies you already have in mind, by name or website. See which fit, which are already customers, and which could not be matched.

    Four readings

    Fit, a sign of a current need, the evidence and a way to reach the company are kept apart on every card. A strong fit never hides a missing contact route.

    Left out, and why

    Every company that was read and did not reach the list is shown with the reason: an existing customer, a failed must, not a fit, or no checked reason.

    Notes and follow up

    Write a note on a card, mark it for follow up, say why a company is not a fit, and set an owner. It is all there when you sign in again.

    Export with sources

    A spreadsheet with every reason, its source link, the date it was read and your notes. On the Team, International and Agency plans.

    How it works

    From what you sell to who should buy it, in four steps.

      Pick the kinds of company, add your own requirements, and see what is outside coverage first.

    4. 4

      Work the shortlist.

      Up to 20 companies that fit. Each card keeps fit, need, evidence and contact apart, and says what it does not know.

    What we measured

    Counted, not claimed.

    Every number on this site is counted by code from a real test or a real run. Here is what the product did, and what it could not do.

    Finding a company's own website

    We tried two ways on the same 200 listed companies.

    By web search

    28 of 200

    Likely range 10 to 19 in 100. Nothing a search returned was stored.

    By trying the likely addresses

    64 of 200

    Likely range 26 to 39 in 100. A site counts only when its page carries the whole company name.

    So the product finds websites by address. For 136 of those 200 companies it found none, and the card then says so plainly.

    228of 315

    reasons passed both checks. The other 87 were removed before anyone saw them.

    4 real runs, added together.

    35of 35

    lines about the sellers kept their quote. Each quote was found on its page, word for word.

    4 real runs. 15 pages read in all.

    Coverage

    What is in the base, and how much of it you can act on.

    BuyerAtlas holds companies that appear on official lists and public records we are allowed to use. It does not hold every company in Nigeria, and every row says what its card holds before you open it.

    One pin for every 25 companies with a state on record. 6,155 of 7,709 have none, and their cards say so.

    Trust

    The rules we keep, whatever it costs us.

    Public business information only, from sources whose terms allow it. We never collect from social networks, and we never buy a list.

    Read all the rules

    Companies first

    A card is about a company. It shows a role to ask for, never a named person, a personal phone number or a private email.

    No source, no claim

    Every fact carries the link it came from and the date we read it. A sentence the checker cannot support is removed.

    Nothing is sent for you

    BuyerAtlas has no sending engine. It drafts. You read, change and send from your own address.

    Removal within 72 hours

    Any company can ask to be removed or corrected. A removal takes effect on every list at once.

    Questions

    Plain answers.

    From official lists and public records we are allowed to use: the Central Bank's lists of licensed institutions, the communications and electricity regulators' lists, World Bank contract awards, legal entity records, and each company's own website. The sources page names every one, with the date we last read it.

    No. BuyerAtlas has no sending engine. It writes a first message for you to read and change. You send it yourself, from your own address or phone.

    We do not promise that, and nobody honestly can. BuyerAtlas shows you companies that fit what you sell, with the reason and the proof. What you say to them, and what they answer, is between you and them.

    No. A card shows the role to ask for, such as the head of IT, and the contact route the company itself published, such as its general email or switchboard. Named people are off.

    The buyer profile tells you before any list is made. It names the kinds of buyer you would want that we do not cover. If none of the kinds we hold fits what you sell, the search stops and says so. We do not pad a list.

    Every fact on a card shows the date we read it, beside the link it came from. You can open the source and check it yourself.

    Yes. Any company can ask to be removed or corrected on the remove page. A removal takes the company off every list at once, and requests are handled within 72 hours.

    A card says "Register status: not checked". Company register status is outside the current service scope, and nothing on a card is called verified.

    One credit opens one company card. Opening it again is free, and a search that fails or stops costs nothing. Your first shortlist of 20 companies is free, and all 20 cards can be opened. After that, a plan gives you a number of cards each month.

    Only your workspace. You can paste the names of your customers so they are left out of every list. Customers that your own website names are left out too, unless you untick them. The list stays yours and is used for nothing else.

    Yes. Paste up to 30 company names or website addresses with your search. BuyerAtlas researches only those: which ones fit, which are already your customers, the public record behind each answer, and the contact route each one published.
