Background of the Study
Strategic partnerships involve collaboration between two or more businesses to achieve mutually beneficial goals such as market expansion, resource sharing, or innovation. For fintech startups, which operate in a highly competitive and dynamic industry, strategic partnerships are critical for growth and scalability (Adeyemi & Hassan, 2023).
In Yobe State, the fintech sector is emerging as a key driver of financial inclusion and economic development. However, many startups struggle to establish effective partnerships due to limited access to resources, regulatory challenges, and lack of trust among stakeholders. Research by Ibrahim and Usman (2024) suggests that well-structured partnerships significantly enhance business growth and market penetration.
This study evaluates the role of strategic partnership models in driving business growth among fintech startups in Yobe State.

However, there is limited research on the impact of partnership models on fintech startups in Yobe State. This study aims to address this gap by exploring the relationship between strategic partnerships and business growth.
