VFD Group Proposes SplitXchange for Financing Nigeria’s Creative Industry

Published

VFD Group Plc has proposed the introduction of a specialized Exchange that would address the issue of financing in Nigeria’s entertainment and creative industries to bolster foreign exchange earnings and economic development.

Folagbade Adeyemi, the Managing Director of Splitar Limited,  stated this while speaking at the Capital Market Correspondents Association of Nigeria (CAMCAN) quarterly Forum, sponsored by VFD Group Plc.

Adeyemi revealed that the Group is actively pursuing an exchange platform tailored to the media and entertainment sector, offering diverse investment opportunities for both domestic and international investors.

Currently in its development stage, SplitXchange when launched, would offer a platform for financing the media and entertainment industry, among other alternative assets.

According to him, “Seeing the huge potential in alternative assets, Splitar Holdings, through Split Exchange, would drive the alternative assets space with its revolutionary digital exchange.”

He emphasized the potential of this sector to significantly improve the GDP of the country and called for a collaborative approach towards establishing robust frameworks and clear guidelines to support investment in alternative assets leveraging technology.

“Unless we collaboratively set up institutions that can provide data around these asset classes and place a true value on these asset creators to make seeking finance a lot easier, we will not see significant returns.

“A lot of transactions have been ongoing within that space which are not captured within the country’s value chain. That is what SplitXchange seeks to address.”

With Nigeria’s estimated population at 208.8 million people, Adeyemi highlighted the increasing demand for Nigerian content locally and on a global scale.

Speaking on the theme: “Beyond Tradition: Increasing Relevance of Alternative Assets in the Capital Market,” Adeyemi lamented the absence of robust funding pillars in the country.

He emphasized the potential of Entertainment and Media, noting that globally there is an average market size of $41 billion as of 2021 with an estimated growth of 4.2 per cent.

While pointing out investments by Netflix and Amazon, which have churned out blockbuster movies that have gained viewership and streams across the globe, he noted that Nigeria’s biggest investor in the form of Pension Assets was yet to invest in the entertainment or streaming services.

He stressed the need to solve the problems of liquidity, efficiency, and barriers to entry in the country.

“In today’s market, the quick conversion of assets into cash is a challenge due to the absence of a well-structured marketplace that oversees and regulates these assets.

“The automation of processes such as compliance, escrow account management, dividend distribution, corporate action management, and drag-along actions technology presents a significant challenge in today’s alternative market. The high initial cost of assets in this market restricts participation to only affluent individuals and corporate investors,” he said.

He noted that the sector remains excluded from the organized financial sector due to the inability of intermediaries to recognize Intellectual Property (IP) as suitable collateral to access funding. “Projects are financed informally through a network of angel investors, high net worth individuals, non-governmental organizations, government, and personal savings,” Adeyemi said.

Furthermore, he pointed out that investors and asset creators face challenges when seeking investment opportunities or raising capital through traditional financial avenues.

“Traditional financial institutions are ill-equipped to appraise industry opportunities due to poor visibility, data, and income/revenue leakages leading to mispricing through high-interest rates, market illiquidity of associated securities, poor market depth, and lack of accessibility for retail investors,” he said.

5 Strategies to Prevent Payment Delays from Hurting Your Business

Published

Kindly share this post

Payment delays pose significant challenges for businesses across Africa. Maintaining a steady cash flow is essential for business growth and sustainability, making it crucial to address late or non-payments from customers.

So, how can SMEs effectively prevent payment delays? Let’s explore five actionable strategies to keep revenue flowing smoothly.

Streamline Payment Processes
Smoother payment experiences lead to prompt payments. Simplifying the payment process for customers by offering multiple payment options enhances convenience and reduces the likelihood of delays. It is important to note that collaborating with a reliable payment gateway is fundamental in achieving seamless transactions.

Embrace Subscription Models

Adopting a subscription-based payment model ensures consistent cash flow and predictability in revenue streams. SeerBit has innovative features, such as partial debits and automatic retries which fortify this model, ensuring uninterrupted revenue even amidst payment hiccups.

Digitize Invoicing

Transitioning from paper-based to digital invoicing eliminates delays caused by delivery hiccups, while also minimizing the risk of lost documents. Digital invoicing not only streamlines payment tracking, but also enhances operational efficiency.

Implement Incentives and Penalties

Introducing incentives for early payments and penalties for late payments encourages timely settlements. Customers are motivated to pay promptly to capitalize on discounts and other special deals, while the prospect of additional charges or sanctions deters delays. Reminder notifications serve as gentle nudges, prompting customers to fulfil their payment obligations promptly.

Proactive Payment Management

Partnering with SeerBit empowers businesses to proactively manage payment collections. With a robust payment gateway offering seamless transactions, recurring payment capabilities and digital invoicing services, businesses can effectively mitigate the risks associated with payment delays.

Conclusion

Preventing payment delays is critical for sustaining business operations and fostering growth. The World Bank predicts that late payments cost the global economy over $40billion every year. By implementing these strategies and leveraging the capabilities of SeerBit, businesses can optimize their payment processes, ensuring uninterrupted cash flow and significant long-term success.
