Who it's for

Solo or 2-person team in Nigeria; target: MSMEs and gig workers needing quick unsecured loans (₦50K–₦500K) without collateral hassle

How to build it
1. Build a simple web app (form + dashboard) where borrowers submit basic KYC, phone number, bank statement history, and loan request amount. Use Flutterwave or Paystack to verify bank data. 2. Implement a lightweight credit scoring algorithm: phone verification age, bank transaction frequency, loan repayment history (if any), employment type. No fancy ML needed—rule-based logic works. 3. Connect to a pool of lenders (start with angel investors, microfinance NGOs, or high-net-worth individuals in your network) who fund approved loans in batches weekly. 4. Automate loan disbursement (Paystack/Flutterwave payout) and repayment collection (daily/weekly via standing order or USSD pull). 5. Launch in one LGA or state; charge borrowers a 2–5% origination fee + set lenders' return at 12–24% annual; take 1–2% spread or fixed fee per loan.

Your edge as a builder from anywhere

Nigeria has 40M+ MSMEs and gig workers with zero formal credit history but regular mobile money + bank activity. You can verify borrowers via USSD and local bank APIs (not open banking APIs other African countries lack). Lender pool is local and hungry for yield. Regulatory entry is lower than a full bank—you're a loan facilitator, not a lender. Nigerian payment rails (Paystack, Flutterwave, Mono)
