Who uses Vicinage
Anyone with money or a decision on the line in Nigeria who can't be there in person. Most of our clients are diaspora sending money home, and foreign companies sourcing or investing from abroad.
Individuals
You live abroad but have property being built, a contractor to keep accountable, or a deal to close in Nigeria. WhatsApp photos aren't enough — you need an independent, documented report.
- Confirm a construction milestone before releasing the next tranche of funds
- Verify a property title and physical condition before purchase
- Get independent oversight on any Nigeria-based project or contractor
Businesses
You're sourcing from, investing in, or partnering with Nigerian entities. You need documented proof of what you're committing to before capital leaves your account.
- Verify a supplier's factory exists and can produce at the claimed capacity
- Confirm a potential partner's identity, premises, and track record
- Inspect a property before remote acquisition
How Vicinage works
Every inspection follows the same documented process, regardless of scope. You have visibility at every stage.

Submit your request online — location, what you need verified, and your deadline. No vague back-and-forth: we confirm the exact scope and price within 24 hours.
Meet your inspector
We assign an inspector matched by sector and proximity. You receive their profile and credentials before the visit — so you know exactly who is going and can raise any concerns.
Independent site visit
The inspector visits on the agreed date with no advance notice to the party being checked. GPS tags prove they were physically on-site. Photos are timestamped and cannot be back-dated.
Report you can act on
A structured PDF report lands in your inbox within the published SLA. A PM reviews it before delivery — you get a finished, certified document, not raw field notes.

Each inspection type has a fixed price, fixed scope, and a published turnaround time. You know exactly what you're getting before you pay.

What clients found out
Most clients come to us because something didn't feel right. Here's what the report showed.
“I'd been sending money for a year and getting photos that all looked the same. Vicinage visited unannounced and the report made clear the building was two floors behind schedule. That report saved me from releasing another tranche.”
Adaeze O.
Diaspora client, UK
“We needed to verify a supplier in Kano before signing a ₦40M contract. The inspection confirmed the factory existed but flagged equipment that didn't match the spec sheet. We renegotiated on the spot.”

Manufacturing firm, Germany
“My family was buying land in Lekki. The seller's documents looked fine but I couldn't travel. Vicinage confirmed the plot boundaries, checked the C of O, and photographed the physical markers. We proceeded with confidence.”
