The steady rise in living costs in Nigeria has made it increasingly challenging for individuals to make ends meet and hampered growth of businesses in the country. With limited income streams and the continuous inflation of prices for essential goods and services, many find themselves trapped in a cycle of financial strain.
Imagine the plight of a parent trying to provide their child with a quality education while grappling with soaring tuition fees. Consider the frustration of a young professional dreaming of owning a car but facing insurmountable upfront costs. These scenarios paint a picture of the daily struggles faced by Nigerians in navigating the current financial landscape.
Traditional cash-based transactions have placed limits on our economic relevance for decades, limits on both individuals and businesses. A time as this calls for the need to adopt a model that is inclusive, sustainable and scalable. By breaking down payments into manageable chunks, individuals can afford essential items and services without burdening their finances, and businesses can increase their customer base and bottomline in the long run.
At the unveiling ceremony held at SmallSmall office in Lekki Phase 1, Lagos, on the 28th of May, 2024, our chief executive, Tunde Balogun, said, “SmallSmall experience in the housing sector has shown us firsthand the positive impact of instalment payments. We’ve transformed the way Nigerians access housing through our award-winning products: RentSmallSmall and BuySmallSmall. These innovative solutions are built primarily on instalment payment models, and with thousands of customers we’ve helped to unlock quality living, we see the need to advocate for widespread adoption of instalment payment across various industries. The possibilities have inspired us and led us to organize the Small Small Fair 2024, where attendees can explore a plethora of products and services available through instalment plans.” Watch our CEO’s announcement speech here
