Business Idea:
A secure online marketplace platform utilizing an escrow system to facilitate safe transactions between buyers and vendors in Nigeria, ensuring trust and verified delivery for e-commerce.
Problem:
Trust issues and fraud risk hinder online transactions, causing hesitation among buyers and sellers, especially in emerging markets with limited payment protections.
Solution:
A transaction platform where funds are held in escrow until delivery is confirmed, providing a transparent and trustless process that guarantees payment only after verified delivery.
Target Audience:
Online shoppers and vendors in Nigeria and similar markets seeking safe, reliable e-commerce experiences; small to medium-sized businesses looking for secure selling channels.
Monetization:
Revenue generated through transaction fees, commissions on sales, and premium features such as faster withdrawals or enhanced verification services.
Unique Selling Proposition (USP):
No trust required—each step is verified and confirmed via logistics partners, making transactions inherently secure and reducing fraud risk compared to traditional payment systems.
Launch Strategy:
Start with a simple pilot in key Nigerian cities, partnering with local logistics providers to validate the escrow process, gather user feedback, and refine the platform before scaling.
