Payroll Support Fund Free Registration 2020
The Nigerian government has opened the registration portal for its MSME survival funds 2020 as it appears set to disburse N75 billion payroll support to help critically affected MSMEs and start-ups.
The portal will be open for registration to companies that have not less than three employees and are duly registered with the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC).
This initiative seems to be the next phase of Nigeria’s economic sustainability plan, which was released three months ago in June 2020.

Then, the government said it wants to establish a survival fund to sustain at least 500,000 jobs in 50,000 MSMEs, in critically affected sectors like hospitality creative industries, road transport, tourism, and schools.
AN50 billion ($129 million) payroll support was initially planned to support these businesses and a separate N10 billion ($25.8 million) to support private transport companies and workers.
Survival Funds Updates – Payroll Support Fund Registration
It is important to note that the disbursement of the survival funds will be implemented through the Steering Committee on the MSME Survival Fund, the Federal Ministry of Industry, Trade, and Investment, and the Bank of Industry.
The Nigerian government projected a three-month timeline for the disbursement of these funds which would be given through microfmance banks and fintech credit providers.
Despite the scepticism that normally surrounds Government initiatives in Nigeria, it is encouraging to see some progress on this front.
Recall that Nigeria’s Apex bank has already begun implementation of the plan to bring solar power to millions of unconnected households, despite the questions surrounding it.
Also, the Central Bank of Nigeria claims it has been disbursing a N50 billion fund for SMEs and startups.
Despite these encouraging signs, most of the government initiatives still show a lack of bespoke provisions for startups which by definition are distinctly different from SMEs.
The problems startups face are unique and requires special Government intervention. However, small can still be celebrated, while we dive into this issue in a later story.
The federal government has also promised to create about 250,000 free business name registration.
