Lundi supports compliant employment in Nigeria — Lagos for fintech and tech (Flutterwave, Paystack, Andela heritage), Abuja for government-adjacent. Africa's largest single tech market. Strong fit for English-fluent operations serving Africa and global SaaS roles.
Nigeria has Africa's largest single tech ecosystem — Lagos concentrates fintech (Flutterwave, Paystack — acquired by Stripe, Interswitch), SaaS engineering (Andela founded here), and corporate operations. Abuja adds government-adjacent and policy talent. English is the working language across professional roles. Nigerian naira (NGN) is the local currency — has experienced significant volatility; international employers typically structure USD-pegged or USD-equivalent compensation for senior roles. Strong fit for English-fluent fintech engineering, customer success, and African-market operations. For broader scaling Lundi also considers South Africa (deeper senior corporate), Kenya (East African presence), or Egypt (deeper outsourcing infrastructure).
What it costs to employ someone through Lundi.
Lundi's cost is the all-in cost of the employee — gross salary plus statutory employer contributions plus customary benefits — and a Lundi management fee on top. The management fee depends on team size and scope: smaller teams pay a higher per-head rate, teams of 20+ get materially better unit economics, and Build–Operate–Transfer engagements are structured separately.
The alternative paths look like: setting up your own local entity (meaningful months of legal and accounting work, plus ongoing in-country HR, payroll, and compliance infrastructure), engaging a local recruitment agency on contingency (typically a percentage of first-year compensation, paid once, with no ongoing employment relationship), or hiring as a contractor (lower upfront cost, real misclassification risk in most jurisdictions). Lundi is faster than entity setup, structurally different from contingency recruitment, and lower-risk than contractor arrangements.

Salary in lieu of notice may also be given.
Lundi works with companies building teams of 10 or more across business, technical, and operational functions . Not for one-off hires or individual placements.
EOR platforms employ individuals for you. Lundi recruits, employs, and operates concentrated teams — including day-to-day management, HR, and an optional path to your own entity. It's the operating model for companies that have outgrown the EOR ceiling.
