Business Idea: A secure e-commerce escrow platform tailored for Nigeria, facilitating trustworthy transactions between buyers and sellers by holding funds securely until delivery is verified, ensuring confidence and safety.
Problem: High risk of fraud, payment disputes, and mistrust in online transactions hinder e-commerce growth in Nigeria, discouraging both buyers and vendors from engaging fully online.
Solution: An intuitive escrow service where buyers place payments that are held securely until the vendor ships the product and delivery is verified, after which funds are released to the seller, creating a trustworthy marketplace environment.
Target Audience: Nigerian online shoppers, local vendors, small to medium-sized e-commerce businesses, and entrepreneurs seeking a safe platform to facilitate transactions.
Monetization: Revenue generated through small transaction fees or commissions on each escrow transaction, and optional premium services such as faster verification or dispute resolution.
Unique Selling Proposition (USP): Localized, Nigeria-specific escrow solution focusing on trust-building in emerging markets, with verification steps and escrow holding tailored to the regional commerce landscape.
Launch Strategy: Start with a minimal viable product (MVP) targeting popular local marketplaces, promote via social media and partnerships with vendors, and gather user feedback to refine the process before scaling.
