Problem or Opportunity

65% of small businesses in Sub-Saharan Africa struggle with managing their finances effectively: which can lead to a range of issues, including cash flow problems, difficulty securing loans, and limited growth opportunities.

Lack of financial literacy and access to affordable financial services are major barriers to success for these businesses.
Only 14% of Sub-Saharan African SMEs have access to credit from formal financial institutions.

Nikkle offers a comprehensive platform that allows small businesses to manage their finances in one place, including invoicing, expense tracking, and financial reporting.

Nikkle provides resources and educational materials to help small business owners improve their financial literacy and make more informed financial decisions. Through its partnerships with financial institutions, Nikkle is working to increase access to credit for small businesses in Sub-Saharan Africa.
