To verify that a company is a legally registered business, you can either perform a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/publicsearch.cac.gov.ng\/ComSearch\/\">CAC public search<\/a>\u00a0or use the company&#8217;s Tax Identification Number (TIN) to search on the Federal Internal Revenue Service (FIRS) website.<\/p>\n<p>Reviewing the company&#8217;s website, online reviews, asking questions during pre-negotiation meetings with the company&#8217;s founders and carrying out findings in the business ecosystem about the company you are exploring a partnership with will also aid your due diligence process.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/msmehub.org\/staging\/6671\/article\/2020\/08\/when-do-you-need-a-non-disclosure-agreement\">Have a Non-Disclosure Agreement<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>After you have carefully vetted the company you are collaborating with and you are satisfied and you are very sure that you want to commence the project with this company, you need to have a n<a href=\"https:\/\/diylaw.ng\/documents\/\">on-disclosure\u00a0<\/a>agreement. A non-disclosure agreement will help protect your company&#8217;s confidential information that you will be sharing with the other company you are collaborating with.<\/p>\n<p>It would be heartbreaking to find your idea, trade secret or private information about your business made public or implemented by another party.<\/p>\n<p>A non-disclosure agreement should be duly signed before discussions deepen. Instead of signing a separate non-disclosure agreement, confidentiality terms can be included in your collaboration agreement.<\/p>\n<p>Continue reading to learn about collaboration agreements<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Have a clear Collaboration Agreement<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>A <a href=\"https:\/\/msmehub.org\/staging\/6671\/article\/2020\/08\/understanding-contracts-from-a-legal-perspective\">collaboration agreement<\/a> is the detailed agreement that ensures that both parties are very clear about the mutual relationship that they are about to enter into.<\/p>\n<p>It should contain details such as the scope of work, the collaboration period, payment terms and obligations of both parties.
