All U.S. companies coming to do business in Nigeria are advised to carry out a comprehensive due diligence before commitments are made. This investigation must include checks on the company background, ownership and management, current business plan, legitimacy of finances, properties and leases, their corporate social responsibilities, litigations and claims and meeting with regulatory obligations.  The US Commercial Service offers an International Company Profile (ICP) vetting on such local companies.
