Businesses that deal with financial technology continue to outperform other startups in Africa.

According to World Bank estimates, 66% of people in Sub-Saharan Africa do not have bank accounts. This population uses technology to hone, automate, and improve financial services for individuals and businesses, which is one of the reasons fintech enterprises are booming on the continent.

One of the businesses on the continent with the most room for expansion is the food industry. According to Business Standard, between 2020 and 2021, the food industry in Africa saw a 3.6% growth.

Investors profit from leasing, buying, and renting out commercial and residential buildings, making the real estate industry one of the most lucrative in Africa.

Despite the large output, it necessitates industry expertise and experience. Entrepreneurs that want to succeed need to learn from seasoned realtors.

Numerous e-commerce companies have sprung up across the continent as a result of the increase in purchasing power of many Africans.

People and businesses can exchange goods and services online thanks to players in the market. According to reports, Africa's e-commerce market generated over $256 million in revenue last year alone, a 40% increase from the year before.
