AON helps businesses find real grants, tenders, loans, supplier calls, and institutional programmes — then shows what documents and requirements they need to qualify.
Why AON exists
Opportunities for Nigerian businesses are real.
They are often invisible.
Grants, tenders, loans, supplier calls, and institutional programmes are scattered across government notices, donor portals, NGO websites, bank pages, procurement bulletins, social media, and informal networks. The problem is not scarcity — it is visibility, timing, and preparation.
Most businesses miss opportunities because they did not know one existed, found it after the deadline, applied without the right documents, or did not understand what the institution was actually looking for. None of those are eligibility failures. AON was built to close that gap.
What AON does
Grants, tenders, loans, supplier calls, training, and institutional programmes — aggregated, verified, and matched to your business profile.
See how well your profile and documents match each opportunity before you spend time applying.
Know what is uploaded, what is missing, what is expired, and which documents unlock which opportunities.
Help institutions receive better-prepared applicants and build stronger pipelines of documented local businesses.
At the core is a readiness score — a 0–100 number built from a business’s profile, documents, sector, and compliance status. Every opportunity is tagged with what it requires. When those two things are matched, a business sees not just which opportunities exist, but which ones they are actually prepared for, and what closes the gap on the rest.
We think of this as infrastructure. The readiness score and document vault are not features — they are the reason the matching works at all.
Where we operate
AON is live in Liberia and Nigeria, and in active development in Kenya. Each market gets a deployment built around its specific opportunity landscape, compliance structure, and institutional context — not a generic African product.
Nigeria has the largest SME economy on the continent and the most fragmented opportunity landscape — federal and state procurement, DFI programmes, bilateral donor grants, bank credit windows, and private sector supplier schemes. Businesses miss opportunities not because they do not qualify, but because the right information arrives too late or not at all. AON launched in Nigeria to fix that.
Liberia's opportunity landscape is shaped by government procurement, donor-funded projects, NGO programmes, concessions, banks, and development partners. Many capable businesses miss opportunities because notices are scattered, requirements are unclear, or key documents are not ready when a window opens. AON Liberia focuses on opportunity visibility, document readiness, and better-prepared local business pipelines.
Kenya has one of the most active SME and startup ecosystems in Sub-Saharan Africa — a dense donor and development finance presence across USAID, GIZ, EU, and AfDB programmes, government procurement through the PPRA, and a well-developed banking sector with visible SME credit products. Many capable businesses miss opportunities because requirements are scattered across channels or application windows move fast. AON Kenya is in active development, built around the same infrastructure as Liberia and Nigeria: document readiness, opportunity matching, and better-prepared business pipelines.
Our commitments
We would rather show a business twenty matched opportunities than two hundred irrelevant ones. A high number of results is not a signal of quality — it is often the opposite.
A "Verified" status means AON has reviewed submitted information for completeness, consistency, visible identifiers, and expiry details where available. It does not mean AON has performed legal due diligence, a credit investigation, or official registry authentication.
AON can help a business present a more complete and relevant application. Final selection remains entirely with the institution. We will never imply otherwise.
Businesses use the readiness score, document vault, matched feed, and eligibility checks at no cost. Institutions pay for programme management, application tools, and discovery features. Businesses should not have to pay simply to know whether they are ready.
What AON is not
AON is not a guarantor of outcomes. Final selection remains entirely with the institution.
AON is not a marketplace. We do not facilitate transactions on the platform. AON is not a compliance firm, a legal adviser, or a credit provider. Document review on AON is a structured evidence check, not a legal opinion.
AON is also not finished. The product is live and working, but we are still building. Coverage improves as we add more verified sources. Scoring improves as we learn more about what institutions actually look for. The compliance pathways we publish are current to the best of our knowledge — where we are uncertain, we say so.
Data and trust
Businesses upload sensitive documents to AON. Documents are stored securely and shared with an institution only when a business actively applies to that institution’s programme. Institutions cannot browse or download private business documents unless the business has submitted an application or explicitly consented.
Institutions agree to a data use policy that prohibits unsolicited outreach, third-party sharing, and retention of data after a programme closes. Businesses can withdraw documents or close their account at any time.
