Nigerian founders are moving from apps to B2B software
Subscription revenue is more predictable, and businesses will pay for tools that save staff time or naira. But SaaS punishes shortcuts: get tenancy, billing or onboarding wrong and growth stalls.
Aitechma is a SaaS development company in Lagos, Nigeria. We build multi-tenant B2B software with Paystack and Stripe subscription billing, role-based access, AI features and integrations. SaaS MVPs typically start from $10,000 and launch in 8–12 weeks, with a go-to-market sprint for the first paying customers.
- The shift to B2BFounders are pivoting from consumer fintech to B2B enterprise software and digital infrastructure.[1]
- Businesses want softwareMost MSMEs surveyed say technology matters to their business, but cost is the main barrier, so pricing and onboarding must be right.[4]
- Traction takes planningPractitioners warn it can take months, even a year, before a Nigerian SaaS sees real traction without a go-to-market plan.[3]

Questions founders ask us
A SaaS MVP with accounts, teams (multi-tenancy), subscription billing and an admin dashboard typically starts from $10,000 and takes 8–12 weeks. A v1 with integrations, analytics and more roles usually starts from $20,000.
Yes. We commonly use Paystack subscriptions for naira billing and Stripe or Paddle for international customers, with plans, trials, proration, invoices and dunning handled in one billing layer.
Multi-tenant means many customer organisations share one product while their data stays separate, each with its own users, roles and settings. Almost every B2B SaaS needs it, and it is far cheaper to design in from the start than to retrofit.
Yes. Every SaaS build can include a go-to-market sprint: positioning, pricing, onboarding analytics and outbound or partner experiments aimed at your first revenue within weeks of launch.
We built ChatInCart (AI customer support) and Selftaught (AI-generated courses) from scratch, built the CredSol loan marketplace, and supported Tyms (AI accounting, now SOC 2 and ISO 27001 compliant) through its v1.
You do. Code and IP transfer to you under contract, and we can deploy to cloud accounts you own from day one.
