Cleared electronic invoicing for Ghana and Nigeria — because compliance, not enthusiasm, is what makes software necessary.
Built for Businesses facing electronic-invoicing mandates
The dates that matter
Ghana requires cleared electronic invoices from every VAT-registered business, with no revenue threshold, from 1 January 2026. Without a government reference number the invoice is not valid.
Nigeria reaches businesses under ₦1bn turnover on 1 July 2027, with enforcement from the first quarter of 2028. That is where essentially every Nigerian SME sits.
Why this is the best distribution in the market
Both regimes accredit vendors and publish the list. Being on a government-published list of approved providers is free, high-intent distribution — and it is the channel foreign vendors consistently ignore.
The reality check
Kenya made electronic invoicing effectively compulsory in January 2024 and converted about 508,000 of 7.4 million businesses in two years — roughly 7%.
Size this off that 7%, not off the headline MSME count. A legal mandate with penalties still converts in single digits.
This is a researched proposal, not a commitment. Nothing here has been validated with a paying customer yet.
