Haelsoft Digital among Nigeria’s 100 fastest-growing SMEs

Haelsoft Digital Limited has been named one of Nigeria’s Top 100 Fastest Growing SMEs for 2025 by BusinessDay, spotlighting the company’s rapid expansion in digital services and technology training.

Founder and CEO Michael Onyeka Ezeadichie, who also launched Inside Haelsoft and Haelsoft EdTech, has spent over a decade delivering software development, digital consulting, and online education solutions. Ezeadichie said the company’s growth stems from identifying gaps in digital skills and readiness.

“We began as a digital services company,” he said, “but the market quickly showed that the bigger gap was in skills, structures, and digital readiness. Our growth has largely come from responding to those gaps.”

Haelsoft’s EdTech arm now offers courses in software development, cybersecurity, UI/UX design, digital marketing, and data science, addressing rising employer demand for practical digital competence.

In 2025, the firm partnered with Heligande to provide advisory support to family-owned businesses, focusing on digital adoption, operational restructuring, and strategy execution.

“Many companies recognize the need to transform,” Ezeadichie said, “but the real challenge is knowing where to begin and how to sustain the process. That is where our work with Heligande became important.”

Receiving the BusinessDay award on December 4, 2025, Ezeadichie described it as a benchmark rather than a celebration.

“For us, the award is simply data, it tells us we are moving in the right direction, but it also tells us how much more work is ahead,” he said.

Haelsoft’s recognition highlights the growing role of technology-driven SMEs in Nigeria’s digital economy and the impact of founders with strong technical backgrounds in driving growth.
