Empowering Ambitious Entrepreneurs Across Nigeria

The Kwara Business Accelerator Programme positively transformed my perspective on business and enabled me to apply the knowledge directly to my operations, with significant results. Before participating, our products had minimal visibility on social media and the packaging lacked appeal. Now, the business has a strong presence online, and our product packaging has greatly improved, both in appearance and functionality, using durable materials and more strategic pricing. These changes have contributed to a 100% increase in sales.

The lessons I gained from the Kwara Business Accelerator Programme have helped me double my business revenue. Previously, our business operated without a clear structure and we had limited understanding of our financials. Through the financial education provided during the program, I was able to review and better manage our revenue from the previous year. As a result, we’ve already surpassed our performance in the first half of this year compared to the same period last year.

Before the programme, my business faced several operational and structural challenges. We lacked clear systems and efficient workflows, which made daily operations disorganized and time-consuming. Our knowledge and expertise in key areas like finance, marketing, and strategy were limited, affecting how we made decisions. The quality of our products and services was inconsistent, often due to poor attention to detail and lack of standard processes. We also struggled to grow the business, with minimal visibility, limited customer reach, and very few new opportunities coming our way.

The Kwara Business Accelerator Programme helped me refine my business model and financial structure, while also streamlining our daily operations. Before the program, I struggled to get the financial side of the business in order and faced challenges with managing day-to-day activities efficiently. Now, our production rate has significantly improved, and the business operates smoothly, even in my absence, giving me the freedom to focus on new ideas and innovations for growth.
