Frequently Asked Questions

Still have questions? Contact us

Yes! Our core platform is 100% free for entrepreneurs. You get access to all 9 quests, 100+ templates, progress tracking, badge system, and community support at no cost. You only pay when you choose to book 1-on-1 consultations with experts from our marketplace.

Most quests take 2-4 weeks to complete depending on your pace and commitment level. You can work through them at your own speed—there are no deadlines. Some entrepreneurs move quickly and complete quests in days, while others take their time to ensure thorough completion.

No, you can start at the idea stage. Quest I is designed specifically for entrepreneurs who are still validating their business concept. We'll guide you through business registration as part of Quest II: Legal & Operational Foundations.

Our experts are verified Nigerian business professionals including chartered accountants, corporate lawyers, business consultants, financial advisors, and successful entrepreneurs. Each expert goes through a rigorous vetting process including credential verification and background checks before joining our marketplace.

Your Readiness Score is a 0-100% metric that shows how close your business is to being investment-ready. It's calculated based on quest completion, quality of documentation, financial preparedness, and market validation. Investors and accelerators look for businesses with scores above 70%.

Basic templates are available immediately upon signup. Advanced templates (like detailed financial models and pitch decks) unlock as you progress through specific quests. This ensures you have the knowledge to use them effectively.

Expert consultation rates vary by specialty and experience level. Typical ranges: Legal consultations (₦15,000-₦50,000/hour), Financial planning (₦20,000-₦75,000/session), Business strategy (₦25,000-₦100,000/session), Pitch deck reviews (₦30,000-₦80,000/session). Each expert sets their own pricing, which is clearly displayed on their profile.

Not at all! While many tech founders use our platform, Mezzo Aid is designed for entrepreneurs across all industries—retail, agriculture, services, manufacturing, healthcare, and more. Our quests and templates are industry-agnostic and applicable to any business seeking funding.
