Who it's for

Solo dev or 2-person team in Nigeria targeting African SMEs needing vetted tradespeople, agencies, or vendors

How to build it
1. Pick one underserved service category in Nigeria (e.g., bookkeeping, cleaning, logistics, IT support, graphic design) and validate 20–30 business owners actually search for it monthly 2. Recruit 10–15 pre-vetted providers in that category; build simple profiles, portfolio links, pricing, reviews; sign them to a revenue-share agreement (you take 15–25% per lead or booking) 3. Build a lean web app: search/filter by service type, location, price; basic review system; contact form or chat; payment integration (Stripe/Paystack) so clients pay you first, you settle providers weekly 4. Launch on WhatsApp and LinkedIn targeting SME owners; get first 5–10 paying customers within 4 weeks; track which providers convert best 5. Expand to 2–3 more service categories once the first one shows 20+ bookings/month; automate email nurture and review collection

Your cost to acquire providers is near zero; acquisition cost for clients is low (organic + WhatsApp/LinkedIn). You move faster and chea
