Who publishes this site and how the figures are taken

Licence Lookup NG is an independent editorial desk. It publishes one measurement: rows from the Securities and Exchange Commission Nigeria's register, grouped by the category the SEC gives, republished with the date and hour they were read. This page explains who is responsible, how a correction reaches the desk, and how the site is funded.

The publisher and what it is not

The site is published by the Licence Lookup NG desk, an independent editorial desk. It is not a broker, not an exchange, not a licensed adviser, and it holds no client money. Its subject is one measurement, taken from named public sources and republished with the date and the hour it was read. Being listed describes a registration, not a quality. A reader should not treat a row in the table as a recommendation or a warning about a firm's behaviour.

The desk does not sell, recommend or arrange any financial product. It does not answer questions about whether a reader should open an account, move money or choose one registered firm over another. What the desk can do is show what the SEC's register said at a particular hour, and then point to the source so a reader can check the figure at its publisher. That is the whole of the site's editorial work.

How the measurement is taken and why the hour is republished

The measurement is taken by opening the SEC Nigeria's public register, reading the rows that appear for a named category, and copying those rows into the table on this site. The sources are named under every table, with a link, so a reader can check the figure at its publisher. The hour the register was read is republished because the list can change without notice. A reader who sees a different list later can tell whether the difference is a change at the source or an error on this page.

The desk reads the sources on a fixed schedule. When the register is updated, the table on this site is updated to match. A figure that is wrong is corrected and the correction is dated. The desk does not add its own interpretation to the rows. It does not remove firms, reorder them or add notes that the SEC did not publish. The table shows what the SEC's register showed, at the hour stated, and nothing more.

Responsibility and how a correction reaches the desk

Responsibility for the figures sits with the publication's editorial desk: the Licence Lookup NG desk. The desk is the entity that reads the sources, checks the tables and answers corrections. There is no named individual behind the site. Writing to the address on the contact page reaches the desk. Corrections are the reason the address exists. A reader who believes a figure is wrong should write, state the row and the source they checked, and the desk will re-read the register.

The desk cannot answer questions about a reader's own account, a payment, or a firm's behaviour. It cannot see inside a reader's bank or broker account, and it does not hold records of any transaction. What the desk can act on is a mismatch between this site's table and the SEC's register at the stated hour. When such a mismatch is found, the table is corrected, and the correction is dated on the page. The desk does not promise a reply to every message, but every message about a possible error is read and checked against the source.

How the site is funded and the affiliate relationship

The site links to one broker, FxPro, through an affiliate link, and is paid a commission if a reader opens an account there. The reader pays nothing to this site and nothing extra at the broker. This commission is the site's only source of funding. The affiliate relationship is stated plainly here and on the terms page. The desk does not accept payment to change a row in the table. The SEC's register is the only source for the rows.

The broker's own site is operated by someone else, under its own terms and its own privacy policy, and following the link leaves this site. Nothing on this site is investment advice, a recommendation or an offer. The figures describe what things cost, not what a reader should do. The site has no accounts, no login, no newsletter and no comment form. It sets no cookie of its own, runs no analytics and stores nothing in the reader's browser. The pages are served by a hosting provider which, like any web host, keeps its own technical request logs; the site's publisher does not read a reader's personal data out of them.
