I am not entirely sure. Maybe some sort of copyright issue. It really depends on the business. Each type of business will have their own legal issues. I would imagine most deal more with taxes but that is within the US.

They don't bother small businesses with taxes in Nigeria. Do they have to publish their financials so that they government can evaluate their taxes. If you don't want to pay tax in Nigeria as a business person, keep your business at the levels of Small and medium enterprise.

Small businesses enter into contracts with vendors, suppliers, employees, and customers, which can be complex and subject to legal disputes if not properly drafted or executed. They may have intellectual property such as trademarks, copyrights, or patents, which require protection and enforcement.

Businesses are required to maintain their financial records and then get the records audited regularly. YOu will end up spending a lot of money to hire an accountant and then get an auditor.
