FundQuest Financial Services Limited was incorporated in Nigeria in January 2012, licensed and regulated by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) as a Finance Company to operate within the middle tier of the Nigerian financial system, playing complementary roles to banks in bridging financing and investing gaps.

Earlier in the week, the Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Mr Abiodun Akinjayeju, had said it was indeed an exciting moment for him and the entire FundQuest team. He described the 10-year anniversary as a “huge milestone” and a dream come true, recalling how the company started and the tenacity that has kept it growing, maintaining best practices and satisfying customers regardless of the challenges of operating in a volatile economy.

Mr Akinjayeju said, “This 10-year anniversary is worthy of celebration because of the huge successes we have helped our customers achieve and the many testimonies that validate our vision to be a leading destination in the quest for innovative funding and financing solutions in Nigeria and beyond.

Our joy is not just about longevity but the consistency with which we have been able to sustain our culture of quality service, customer satisfaction and transaction integrity in all business engagements with our customers, who are found mainly within the MSME community.

Speaking on how they have achieved many successes in 10 years, the Executive Director and Chief Operating Officer, Mr Bisi Oni, highlighted the value they place on training their staff to attain the highest level of professionalism and capacity.

He said, “I reckon that close to 80 people would have passed through FundQuest in the past 10 years. Some, we recruited from school and in few months, they were ready to take on new jobs in banks. Although, we became like a training ground because of our capacity to impact knowledge quickly but at the same time, those who stayed have developed uncommon capacity, usual understanding of the terrain and have assisted in building a solid culture.”

He admitted that this has been made possible by the support of the company’s board of directors who he said has allowed the company to be run without undue interference. “No stakeholder nor investor has a direct or indirect influence on the administration of capital, not even our recruitment process" he added, stating that this culture of due process is the unwritten law that has guided the management for a decade.

Since 2012, FundQuest Financial Services Limited has focused primarily on providing financial intermediation services to Individuals, Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) and Corporate Institutions through creating Consumer Loans and Advances, LPO Financing, Project Financing, Export Financing, Equipment Leasing, Fixed Term Investments, Funds Management, Financial Consultancy and Business Advisory Services. These services have been rendered mainly through physical offices and in-person service channels.
