African Market Entry Consulting Limited has announced plans to host its first-ever, founder-focused business meetup, scheduled for January 29, 2026, in Lagos, marking a new phase in the firm’s engagement with entrepreneurs and business owners.
The consultancy, which has advised thousands of local and foreign companies over the years, has largely operated through remote channels such as calls, emails, and digital platforms.
The upcoming event signals a strategic move towards deeper, in-person engagement with founders navigating Nigeria’s evolving regulatory and compliance landscape.
According to the firm, the closed-door meetup is designed to bring entrepreneurs face-to-face with legal, tax, and compliance professionals, while also creating space for peer-to-peer interaction among founders.
Speaking on the initiative, Managing Director Ayokunle Bankole noted that the event is focused on practical conversations rather than promotional activities.
“We’ve supported businesses across borders for years, but there’s real value in sitting across the table from founders and understanding their immediate challenges,” he said.
“This meetup is about compliance clarity, regulatory realities, and helping founders make informed decisions as they plan for the year ahead.”
The timing of the event coincides with significant changes in Nigeria’s tax and regulatory environment, with new policies expected to take effect in 2026.
Organisers say discussions will centre on how these reforms affect businesses, what founders need to do differently, and how to position companies for sustainable growth.
African Market Entry Consulting Limited is a recognised player in Nigeria’s business setup and market entry ecosystem, providing advisory services to startups, growing enterprises, and multinational firms seeking compliant entry into Nigeria and other Sub-Saharan African markets.
Industry observers note that the firm’s decision to host an exclusive founder meetup reflects a broader trend among professional services firms toward community-building and thought leadership, beyond traditional advisory roles.
Attendance at the event is free, although participation is limited due to capacity constraints.
