Who it's for
Solo developer or 2-person team building for SME owners and fintech lenders across West Africa
How to build it
1. Interview 10-15 loan officers at microfinance banks and online lenders operating in Nigeria—learn their manual intake bottlenecks
2. Build a form engine that auto-pulls business registration data (CAC, tax records via APIs) and validates documents in real time
3. Create a lender dashboard showing pre-screened applications with standardized credit signals (revenue proxy, cash flow, repayment history)
4. Launch as white-label SaaS: lenders pay per application processed; later add marketplace where SMEs submit once to multiple lenders
5. Iterate on data integrations (bank APIs, accounting software) based on which lenders see fastest conversion

Your edge as a builder from anywhere
Nigerian lenders still process 80% of SME loans manually via email and paper. You can automate intake, reduce underwriting time from weeks to days, and keep all revenue local. Early lenders will pay monthly for speed and standardization. No regulatory moat needed at MVP stage—just solve the workflow pain faster than spreadsheets.
