Who it's for

Solo or 2-person team with access to a network of home goods suppliers or second-hand dealers; target early audience: price-conscious urban professionals in Lagos, Abuja, or Kano.

How to build it
1. Lock down 15–20 local suppliers (furniture, kitchenware, bedding, decor) willing to list inventory and pre-pack orders. 2. Build a simple mobile-web storefront (React + Firebase or Supabase) with product catalog, cart, and order tracking. 3. Set up next-day or same-day delivery via existing logistics partner (Kwik, Uber Eats, or local rider networks); negotiate thin margins (5–10%) in exchange for volume. 4. Launch to 1 neighborhood first; collect feedback and validate that customers will pay premium for speed over price alone. 5. Add Paystack or Flutterwave checkout; track unit economics (delivery cost + supplier margin + platform fee) to ensure profitability by month 3.

Urban Nigerians are accustomed to paying premiums for speed; a 24-hour delivery guarantee on home goods is rare and defensible. You move no inventory yourself—pure SaaS margin play once logistics is locke
