About Cloza

Built by someone who got burned too.

Cloza started as a personal frustration. Too many late payments, too many scope creep situations, too many clients who disappeared after delivery. The tools that existed were built for Americans and Europeans — they didn't understand Paystack, Naira pricing, or the specific anxieties of a Nigerian freelancer asking a client to "just send something before I start."

Why Cloza exists

The Nigerian freelance economy is enormous — millions of designers, developers, writers, and creatives working on projects big and small. But the infrastructure to support them professionally? Almost nonexistent.

Paystack is brilliant for building products. But it was never designed to manage a freelance relationship from proposal to delivery. Wave and Invoicely don't understand Naira. Bonsai and HoneyBook charge monthly subscriptions most Nigerian freelancers can't justify.

Cloza fills that gap. Professional proposals, digital contracts, milestone-based escrow, and automatic payouts — all built specifically for how freelancers in Nigeria operate. No monthly fee. 2% only when you collect.

The goal is simple: after every project, both the freelancer and the client should feel like it was the most professional, stress-free transaction they've ever had.

Our mission

Make every Nigerian freelancer look and get paid like a world-class professional — regardless of their client's payment habits.

Our model

We only make money when you do. 2% on released payments. No subscription, no setup fee, no hidden charges. We are permanently incentivized to help you collect more.

Our market

Nigeria first — where the problem is deepest and the need is most urgent. Then Ghana, Kenya, and wherever Nigerian freelancers are working from.

What we believe

Trust is infrastructure

A freelancer who can guarantee payment is a freelancer who can charge more, take better projects, and build a real business. Trust isn't a nice-to-have — it's the foundation.

Aligned incentives matter

Subscription tools make money whether you do or not. We take 2% of what you collect — nothing else. Our success is identical to yours.

Simplicity is respect

A freelancer mid-project shouldn't need a tutorial to send an invoice. Every interaction with Cloza should feel obvious, fast, and professional.
