Who it's for

Solo developer or 2-person team in Nigeria building a financial comparison tool; sold to fintech apps, banks, or run as standalone earning from affiliate commissions and premium features

How to build it

1. Pick one credit segment (buy-now-pay-later, personal loans, or business credit) and scrape/partner with 5–15 lenders for real rates, terms, and eligibility rules 2. Build a simple comparison table + calculator (monthly payment, total cost, approval odds based on basic income/score proxies) as the free core 3. Integrate Flutterwave or Paystack to let users pay for 'premium comparisons' (instant approval odds, hidden fees breakdown, lender contact details) or subscribe for monthly unlocks 4. Drive traffic via SEO (target 'best loan for salaried workers Nigeria') and affiliate links to lenders; earn 1–3% per referred signup 5. Ship a mobile web version first (not app); test with 100 real users; iterate on which loan type converts highest

Your edge as a builder from anywhere

Nigerian lenders don't cooperate with comparison sites yet—there's no Moneysupermarket equivalent. You can build this solo, start with manual data entry from 10 lenders' websites, add affiliate revenue immediately, and scale by partnering directly with fintech platforms (Branch, Carbon, Kuda) who want distribution. Paystack/Flutterwave handle all payment friction. Your cost to launch is <$500 and
