Starta, a business support platform for startups and entrepreneurs, is giving out N200,000 worth of business support to early-stage startups and entrepreneurs in its first Starta Entrepreneur Competition.

The Longe Practice LP, DIYLaw.ng, Codulab, Audeo Advisory Services, and Printivo are all partnering with Starta to make this happen. The support will cover legal support, accounting, printing and web development services.

The aim of the competition, as highlighted in their press statement, is to help entrepreneurs address some of the challenges they face while setting up their business. Challenges such as “how to register as a legal entity, how to design and get the business brand into the hands of customers, how to have a web presence, and how to set up finance, accounting and tax.”

“At The Longe Practice, our entire business is built upon helping African entrepreneurs succeed. We are fans of what Starta is doing for the African startups and are glad to partner with them in this competition,” said Odunola Longe, Co-founder of The Longe Practice.

Abimbola Bamigboye, Founder of Audeo added that “Audeo is supporting exceptional SMEs across Africa through bookkeeping, accounting and advisory services that was once exclusive to large scale public companies. We are proud to be associated with Starta and this competition.”
