Every freelancer has a story
they'd rather forget.

"Delivered the full website. He said 'I’ll send the balance on Monday.' Monday never came."

"She kept requesting changes for 3 months. No contract. No limit. Just me, working for free."

"I sent a payment link. He sent a screenshot of a fake transfer. I only found out a week later."

Cloza exists because this should never happen again.

How it works

From proposal to payment
in under 3 minutes.

01

Create your project

You

Set your price, break it into milestones, define what you're delivering, set a revision limit. Takes 2 minutes. Your client gets a link — not a confusing dashboard.

02

Client signs and pays

Client

They open your link, review the proposal, sign the agreement with their name, and pay via Paystack — card, bank transfer, or USSD. No account required. Funds are secured for the milestone immediately.

03

Deliver your work

You

Mark the milestone as delivered, add a note or attach files. Your client gets a notification. They have 72 hours to approve or request a revision.

04

Get paid with release protection

Both

Client approves, and funds are routed to your payout account. If they do not respond, funds are settled after 72 hours under protected payment policy.

Everything you need

Built for how freelancers
actually work.

Proposals that close

Send a branded proposal link in 2 minutes. Your client reviews, signs, and pays — all in one place. No PDFs. No back-and-forth.

Protected payments

Client pays before you start work. Funds are held by Paystack and released on approval. If there is no client response, funds are settled after 72 hours under protected payment policy.

Digital contracts — auto-generated

Every project creates a legally grounded agreement: scope, revision limits, payment terms, IP transfer clause. Both parties get a signed PDF copy instantly.

Milestone payments

Split any project into up to 10 milestones. Each one has its own payment, deadline, and delivery. You control the flow — clients can't hold the whole project hostage.

NGN and USD billing

Invoice Nigerian clients in Naira. International clients? Bill in USD — we show them the NGN equivalent at Paystack's live rate. They pay by card, you receive in Naira.

Instant payouts

Approved funds are routed to your payout account. Settlement to Nigerian banks and fintechs typically completes within 1 business day.

What they say

Freelancers who finally
stopped chasing.

I sent my first Cloza proposal to a client who had previously paid me 3 weeks late. He signed and paid the deposit within 20 minutes. Something shifted — he took the project seriously because I did.

Temilade A.

Brand designer · Abuja

first Cloza project

The auto-release feature is genius. I delivered a logo, client went quiet for 5 days. On the 3rd day I got a notification — funds releasing in 24 hours. He suddenly found time to approve.

Emeka O.

Motion designer · Enugu

₦220,000

recovered on auto-release

My international clients ask if they can pay by card. I just send the Cloza link and say yes. They pay in dollars, I receive naira. I don't even have to explain exchange rates anymore.

Questions

The honest answers
you actually want.

Is Cloza a bank? Do you hold my money?

No. Client payments are processed by Paystack. Checkout includes a grossed-up payment processing fee so your milestone amount lands intact before Cloza applies its tiered fee on release.

What if my client pays but refuses to approve my work?

This is exactly what protected payments are for. If a client doesn't respond to a delivery within 72 hours, the funds auto-release to your payout account. If they explicitly dispute, our team reviews both sides within 24 hours and makes a decision.

My client doesn't have a Paystack account. Can they still pay?

Yes — your client needs zero accounts to pay. They open your proposal link, sign with their name, and pay with any Nigerian bank card, bank transfer, or USSD. International clients can pay with Visa or Mastercard.

How does USD billing work exactly?

You set your price in dollars. Your client sees the USD amount and the Naira equivalent at Paystack's current rate. When they pay, Paystack processes it and settles in Naira. You receive Naira — the rate is Paystack's, not the parallel market.

Is the digital signature legally binding?

In Nigeria, electronic signatures are legally recognized under the Cybercrimes Act and general contract law principles. The signed name, timestamp, IP address, and activity log are stored and available for download.

Can I use Cloza for retainers or recurring work?

Right now you can create new projects for each billing cycle. Recurring / retainer billing with automatic monthly invoicing is coming in a future update.

You did the work.
You deserve to get paid.
