Why We Exist

MSMEs Drive the Economy, but 80% Fail.

Micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) make up 96% of businesses in Nigeria, contribute over $174 billion to the economy, and employ more than 70 million people. Yet, 4 out of 5 fail within their first five years. At ERT, we are closing that gap by providing the resources, funding, and tools needed for sustainable business success.

What some of our
customers say

  • ERT helped us move from informal hustle to structured business.

    Amina Yusuf, Founder, A&Y Foods, Kaduna
    "Before ERT, I had no formal structure—just passion and hustle. Through their learning portal and advisory support, I registered my business, set up proper bookkeeping, and secured a micro-loan. Today, we’ve grown from a roadside vendor to a supplier for three retail stores."

  • Their BPO services changed the game for our customer support.

    Chinedu Okafor, CEO, SwiftCourier, Enugu
    "I used to struggle with managing customer calls and follow-ups. ERT’s BPO training helped me set up an affordable call support structure with interns they trained. Now our response rate has improved, and our customers notice the difference."

  • The microfinancing options were fair, transparent, and fast.

    Fatima Adamu – Owner, FaTech Accessories, Abuja
    "ERT offered me the kind of funding I couldn’t get anywhere else—low interest, easy terms, and no excessive paperwork. I bought more inventory, grew my sales, and paid off my loan within 10 months."
