Built by people who have run the work.
BZDV Limited is a governance and operations firm registered in Nigeria and working across Nigeria and West Africa. We set up how a business runs its work, money and people, with a clear owner for every decision and one set of numbers, then hand it to your team to run.
Most of the businesses we meet are not failing. They are growing faster than the way they are run. That is a good problem to have, and it can be fixed.
Three things we hold to in every business
They shape every Diagnostic we run and everything we set up.
- 01
A business should run without everything passing through one person.
When only the owner can approve, price or decide, growth stops at the owner's diary. We spread decisions to the right people, with clear limits.
- 02
Every decision needs a named owner, and every figure needs one source.
Arguments about whose numbers are right cost more time than the work itself. One set of numbers ends them.
- 03
Structure should make the work faster, not slower.
We set up what your business needs to run well and leave out what it does not. If a control slows the work without protecting anything, it goes.
We have done this work from the inside
The people behind BZDV have led operations and strategy, not only advised on them. Clients and names stay private. The experience is what we bring to yours.
Whole organizations, built from the ground up
Complete structures designed and put in place: the parent company, its offices and units, the roles, the approvals and the reporting between them.
Project offices that brought several businesses onto one set of numbers
Governance and project offices set up across a group, so every business reported the same way and the board saw one picture.
Tenders and bids, from eligibility to submission
Bids worth more than $500M supported, with the certificates, pricing and documents a serious buyer checks.
Buying, contracts and supply chains under control
Procurement set up so that what is ordered, received and paid for agrees, and every contract has an owner.
Six commitments in every engagement
Outcomes before outputs
We are judged by what changes in your business, not by what we hand over.
A year of measurement
For a year after handover we keep measuring, with you, the outcomes we agreed at the start.
You own the result
Every decision and every outcome stays yours. We set up, build your team's capability, and step back.
Inside your framework
We work within the method you already run. CLARITY, our seven principles, is there to test it, never to replace it.
Independent advice
We advise the organization as a whole, not one person or faction within it.
Discretion by design
Least-privilege access, confidentiality written into every engagement, and processing under a signed data processing agreement.
From a free check to a team that runs it
Four steps, with no obligation beyond the step you agree to.
- 01
Structure Check
Free, three to ten minutes. You see your structure level and the gaps to fix first, straight away.

Diagnostic
Fixed scope and fixed fee, agreed in writing. We confirm your gaps with you and set the order to fix them.
- 03
Set up
We build the structure with your team, inside the way you already work, starting where it hurts most.
- 04
Hand over
Your team runs it. For a year after handover, we keep measuring the outcomes with you.

Where we bring in others
We are not a law firm or an audit firm, and we do not replace your team. Where you need lawyers, auditors or other specialists, we map what regulators, funders and banks will ask for and bring the right people in.
