WHY YOUR BUSINESS NEEDS A SCUML CERTIFICATE

WHY YOUR BUSINESS NEEDS A SCUML CERTIFICATE

Imagine pouring your time, energy and money into building a business, only for it to be shut down overnight because of a simple, overlooked requirement — the SCUML Certificate.

In Nigeria today, SCUML compliance isn’t optional; it’s a survival tool for serious businesses.

Special Control Unit Against Money Laundering (SCUML) is a Department of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), which regulates businesses vulnerable to money laundering and terrorism financing.

It is empowered to seize assets, prosecute offenders and shut down operations.

Under Nigeria’s Money Laundering (Prohibition) Law, businesses without a SCUML Certificate are subject to serious penalties, including freezing of bank accounts, heavy fines and criminal charges.

If your company manages assets, handles large cash transactions or operates as real estate developer, supermarket, hotel, sells precious metals and stones, accountant, betting, consultancy, car dealer, consultant, etc, you must register and obtain SCUML certification.

The SCUML certificate shows that your business is clean, trusted and legally compliant. Without it, banks can freeze your accounts, regulators can fine you heavily, and the EFCC can shut down your operations.

Worse still, you risk criminal prosecution, asset forfeiture and loss of investor and client/customer trust.

You do not want any of that. Do you?

Non-compliance is not just a mistake; it is a ticking time bomb.

Don’t let your business be wiped out in an instant.
