Case Study
Become Our Next Success Story
When the Machine Was Ready, but the Money Wasn't
He had the machinery picked out and a manufacturer ready to go. What he didn’t have was billions of naira sitting in an account, only collateral, and no clear way to turn one into the other. We reached out to NEXIM Bank and the Bank of Industry directly and helped him find a financing path most sourcing companies would have called someone else’s problem.
Trusted by Leaders in Nigeria and Beyond
We’ve successfully helped executives from:
- Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC)
- Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA)
- Shell Petroleum Development Company (SPDC)
- And many private sector CEOs
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the sourcing and verification process involve?
Every requirement begins with a formal assessment, followed by manufacturer identification and verification carried out by our team in China and Dubai. Before any order ships, it is physically inspected against the original specification. This process applies consistently, regardless of order size or client type.
How is Safhawa structured, and where do you operate?
Safhawa has a registered presence in Nigeria, China, the United Kingdom, and Dubai, and offices in Lagos, Abuja, and Guangzhou. Manufacturers engage with us as an established institution, not an individual buyer.
How do I know the manufacturer is legitimate and not a scam?
We research and verify manufacturers directly, including factory visits and product inspection, before you commit any funds. You’re not sending money to a name on a website, you’re working with a manufacturer we’ve already checked.
What is your average timeline from request to delivery?
Approximately eight weeks on average, though this varies by product, specification, and destination. A specific timeline is provided once requirements are confirmed.
Can Safhawa support financing for large acquisitions?
In cases where a client holds collateral but requires financing, we have facilitated engagement with institutions such as NEXIM Bank and the Bank of Industry. This is assessed case by case.
What happens if a visa application is unsuccessful?
We support reapplication, subject to applicable visa requirements.
How is shipping handled?
We recommend and coordinate with trusted logistics partners and remain engaged on a client’s behalf through delivery. Shipping execution itself is carried out by the logistics provider.
Do we need to travel to China or Dubai to use your sourcing services?
No. Sourcing and procurement are managed fully by our team without requiring travel. Business trips are available separately for clients who wish to be present.
How does Safhawa handle confidential product concepts?
We protect the concept and manage manufacturer introductions directly, so the idea remains the client’s throughout.
How does an institution or enterprise begin working with Safhawa?
Engagements typically begin with a scoping conversation, followed by a recommendation on the appropriate service tier.
