How it works

Run your business as usual, tell us what you think.

You don't change how you sell. You just run the business — sales, stock and books — in the Wayg app instead of a notebook, and once a week you tell us how it went.

Who we're looking for

Real businesses, really selling.

You don't need to be technical. You need a business that sells, a phone, and honest opinions. We're not picking the biggest businesses or the best-written applications — we're picking a mix of types, sizes and states. If your records live in a notebook and your head, you're exactly who this is for.

  • Based in Nigeria
  • Any business that sells goods or services — food, retail, fashion, beauty, services, or anything else
  • An Android or iOS phone you use for the business
  • Ready to run your sales and books on the app throughout the 30 days — any sales rhythm works, but the more of the business you run on it, the more you earn
  • You find record keeping hard today — sales in a notebook, debts in your head, stock uncounted — and want an easier, more reliable way
  • Able to join one short feedback call each week and say honestly what works and what doesn't

What you get

₦100,000 minimum

Questions

Fair questions, straight answers.

Is this really free? What's the catch?

There's no catch. Applying was free, and selected businesses pay nothing during the entire program. The app and a premium subscription are free for the whole 30 days, and we pay you a minimum of ₦100,000 for completing the program.

Why is Wayg paying businesses?

We're building Wayg for businesses like yours, and the most valuable thing at this stage is honest feedback from real businesses running on it every day. The payment is for your time: 30 days of running your business on the app and one short call a week.

What exactly do I have to do to earn the ₦100,000?

Run your business on the app for 30 days — your sales, stock, expenses and bookkeeping — and join one short feedback call each week. Complete both and you earn the ₦100,000 minimum. The more you sell and the more of the business you run on the app, the more you earn.

How do you choose the 20 businesses?

For fit and mix, not size or polish. We want different business types, team sizes and states, so the app is tested by every kind of business — a two-person shop matters as much as a fifteen-person brand. If keeping records is a struggle today, that makes you a better fit, not a worse one. A human reads every application, and a short, honest answer about your business counts for more than a well-written one.

Does my team size matter?

No. Solo businesses and teams of any size can join, and your staff can use the app with you during the program.

Does it matter whether I sell online or from a shop?

No. You can sell strictly online, from a physical shop, from home, or a mix of these. It doesn't matter how you sell, only that you sell.

Does my business have to be registered?

No. Businesses could apply whether or not they were CAC-registered — if you were in Nigeria and selling, you were eligible.

How will I know if I'm selected?

If you're selected, you'll get an email from us, and we'll likely reach out on WhatsApp as well. Then we set you up personally and you start from your phone on day one. And whether or not you're selected, your application doubles as your request to join the Wayg business community — once it's reviewed we add you, like every member, and you get the networking, events, and first word on opportunities like this program.

What happens to my records after the program?

They're yours — private to your business, during and after the program. You can keep using Wayg after the 30 days if you want to.
