6.0BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT ANALYSIS


6.1 INDUSTRIAL BACKGROUND
Over the last decade, fintech has become perhaps the most exciting industry in Nigeria. Hundreds of companies have
popped up, attracting up to two-thirds of all local start-up funding in recent years. In 2021 alone, the sector handled close
to $700 million in digital transactions with a visible and reasonable percentage increase in 2022. However, recent
developments including a decrease in enthusiasm for digital finance fueled by the crypto crash, a series of scandals, an
ailing global economy and an oversaturated industry have left Nigerian fintech looking a little worse for wear.

Nonetheless, these could be looked at as mere growing pains for a sector that is yet far from reaching its ceiling. As telcos
begin to foray into the digital finance game, competition in the sector promises to heat up. So where does that leave the
traditional banking sector? After spending decades building the financial infrastructure of the continent, do African banks
risk becoming obsolete in the wake of digital disruption? Or will they adapt to the digital avenue and turn their perceived
weakness into a strength?

The last few years have been very kind to the Nigerian fintech industry. With 150 to 200 fintech startups calling Nigeria
home, the country seemed poised to become the uncontested African leader in the industry. The sector raised around
$440 million in investments in 2020, more than $600 million in 2021 and over $800 million in 2022 amounting to nearly a

11
XYZ FINTECH BUSINESS PLAN|

quarter of the total funds attracted by African tech startups. That figure rises to almost two-thirds in the case of Nigeria.
This is a perfect proof of the untapped potential in African economies. Fintech startups have enjoyed success and growth
in Nigeria due to certain factors including the low penetration of banking services, a youthful population making good use
of an explosion in smartphone ownership, and recent regulatory changes that have increased the number of cashless
transactions.

The next few years will probably be a great moment for Nigerian fintech. The industry has done remarkable work in
providing financial services to the youth, the age demographic least likely to have a traditional bank account. This may
lead to an entire generation of Nigerians seeing fintech as the most obvious, or even the only viable option for their
banking needs, while dismissing traditional banks as slow and antiquated institutions.

6.2 SWOT ANALYSIS

6.2.0 STRENGTH

Every entity has some internal strengths they can leverage on. Such can give an unimaginable support to the success of an
organization. This includes;

 Effective structure in place to help consumers enjoy a seamless digital banking experience
 Highly experienced and qualified employees and management
 Highly secured payment platform
 Access to finance from business partners
 Water-tight strategies on how to expand beyond major markets
 Good returns on investment for our investors.

12
XYZ FINTECH BUSINESS PLAN|

6.2.1 WEAKNESS

Every entity has some internal issues affecting them

 Financial Constraints
 We will be competing with well-established fintech companies and traditional banks
 Inability to retain our highly experienced and qualified employees longer than we want

6.2.3 OPPORTUNITIES

 Partnerships and mergers between established companies and fintech startups are becoming more frequent.
 Digital banking services are taking over as about 70 percent of people exclusively use digital channels for their
financial needs
 Good support structure for fintech companies in the operating environment.

6.2.4 THREATS

These include but not limited to unfavorable government policies and regulations, Cyber security challenges, Differences
in management and culture, Liability problems and Continuously changing consumer demands especially as it relates to
how they expect fintech companies to serve them. They can be summarized with the acronym PEST meaning Political,
Economic, Social and Technology factors as given below;

13
XYZ FINTECH BUSINESS PLAN|

 Political;

A change in government can affect business either positively or negatively on the business as most governments tend to
introduce policies that ensure security of investor's money in the country. However, following government policies will
mostly not have adverse effects on business and this is what

 Economic;

Macro-economic factors including interest rate, exchange rate, and inflation, fiscal and monetary policies can have either
positive or negative impacts on the financial/banking business, factors to pay more attention to are, impact of inflation on
cost of input, increase in tax, and interest rates.

 Social factors;

These factors include change in consumers’ needs and taste, demography, health needs etc.

 Technology;

New methods of banking are constantly evolving; innovations on mobile, internet and other fintech present a good
prospect for business development.

6.3 Competitors Analysis

Porter’s five forces model provides a framework for analyzing the strength of competition in the market, these are;

 Threat from potential entrants


 Threat from substitute products or services
 The bargaining power of suppliers

14
XYZ FINTECH BUSINESS PLAN|

 The bargaining power of customers


 Competitive rivalry within the industry

Threat from potential entrants;


The significance of the threat depends on how easy or difficult it would be for new competitor to enter the market, the
cause could be cost of entering the market in term of capital requirement, regulatory requirement. The financial industry
is a competitive market and new firms can join once the minimum capital requirement is met. However, the company can
overcome this by product differentiation, excellent customer service and customer loyalty.

Threat from substitute products or services;


There is a threat from substitute products when customers can switch fairly easily to accept alternative products. There is
a presence of the threat in the business. Even though, banking products especially loans types are similar but what will
give us an advantage over others is simply customer service because we have zero tolerance for service failure.

The bargaining power of customers;


Customers can reduce the profitability of a business if they have considerable buying power, this can be reduced by having
many customers of relative high demand. Bank charges are very competitive, removing the motivation for customers to
switch to another bank, making customer’s bargaining power low.

Competitive rivalry within the industry;


Competition within an industry obviously also determined by the rivalry between competitors. Strong competition forces
rival firms to offer their products to customers at lower price and this keeps profitability low. There is a healthy
competition within the fintech business in Nigeria which provides a stable industry.

The Nigerian fintech market is expected to grow to $15 billion by 2025, according to a 2021 report by PwC. This growth is
being driven by a number of factors, including the increasing adoption of smartphones and mobile internet, the growing
popularity of e-commerce, and the government's support for fintech innovation. Some of the key trends in the Nigerian
fintech market include:

Digital lending: Digital lending platforms are making it easier for SMEs to access loans without having to go through the
traditional banking system. These platforms typically use alternative data sources, such as mobile phone records and
social media activity, to assess creditworthiness.

Mobile payments: Mobile payment platforms are making it easier for SMEs to accept payments from customers. These
platforms allow SMEs to accept payments from a variety of sources, including mobile wallets, credit cards, and debit cards
