Nigerian fintech company Paystack has launched a new Small Business Programme aimed at helping entrepreneurs access tools, services, funding opportunities and operational support to grow their businesses. The initiative is designed to strengthen the capacity of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) across Nigeria.
The programme debuts with the Paystack Small Business Bundle, a package that offers eligible merchants discounts worth up to ₦4 million on a range of business tools and services. Initially, 2,000 Nigerian businesses will benefit from the scheme.
According to Paystack, the bundle includes offers from partners across key areas of business operations, including e-commerce, bookkeeping, logistics, design, workspace solutions, customer communication and other digital services. Participating partners include companies such as Bumpa, Canva, PressOne, Shuttlers, FezDelivery and Simplebks.
The company said the initiative forms part of its broader strategy to support merchants beyond payment processing. In recent months, Paystack has expanded its services through the launch of a microfinance bank and other business-focused solutions aimed at helping entrepreneurs manage and scale their operations more effectively.
To qualify for the Small Business Bundle, merchants must have an active Paystack account, operate in Nigeria and have processed at least 10 transactions through the platform within the last 30 days. Eligible businesses can apply through Paystack’s dedicated programme portal.
Paystack also revealed that the Small Business Programme will eventually include additional initiatives, such as a business launchpad offering hands-on support for entrepreneurs and a grant programme that will provide direct funding to qualifying businesses. Details of these components are expected to be announced later.
The launch underscores Paystack’s growing focus on supporting small businesses, which remain a major driver of Nigeria’s economy, by providing them with the resources needed to improve efficiency, expand operations and achieve long-term growth.
