Background of the Study
Financial transparency is a cornerstone of trust between investors and startups, particularly in the fintech sector, which relies heavily on external funding to drive innovation and growth. Fintech startups in Jigawa State are no exception, as they require investor confidence to sustain operations and scale (Yusuf & Bello, 2023).
Transparency entails clear, accurate, and timely financial reporting, enabling investors to assess the viability and risks associated with their investments. In recent years, increased scrutiny of fintech firms has highlighted the importance of financial transparency as a determinant of investor decisions (Abdullahi et al., 2024). This study examines how financial transparency influences investor decision-making in fintech startups in Jigawa State.
Statement of the Problem
Despite the rapid growth of fintech in Nigeria, including Jigawa State, many startups face challenges in attracting and retaining investors. A lack of financial transparency often raises concerns about governance, profitability, and risk management, deterring potential investors (Ahmed & Suleiman, 2023).
While studies have explored transparency in larger financial institutions, limited attention has been given to its impact on fintech startups in emerging markets. This study seeks to address this gap by investigating how financial transparency affects investor decisions in Jigawa’s fintech ecosystem.
