There really is no one-size-fits-all answer to this question, as the best way to create a fintech app will vary depending on the specifics of your project. However, some tips that may be useful include:
1. Research the fintech industry - Before you even start brainstorming ideas for your app, it's important to understand what fintech is and what it entails. Do some research to familiarize yourself with the basics of the industry so that you have a better understanding of what your app should focus on.
2. Think about how you can improve the user experience - One of the key ways to make your app stand out is by improving the user experience. This means designing your app in a way that makes it easy and fun to use.
3. Consider how you can monetize your app - Once you've created a quality app, it's important to think about how you can monetize it. This could involve developing new features or selling advertising space on your app.
4. Plan for long-term viability - Making an app is one thing - sustaining it over time is another challenge entirely. Make sure to think about how you will keep your app updated and relevant, as well as find ways to generate revenue from it in the long run.
Hopefully, these tips will help get you started on the right track in creating a fintech app! If you have any additional questions, please don't hesitate to contact.
Creating a FinTech app can be a complex and multi-step process. Here is a general outline of the steps involved:
1)Conduct market research: Understand the needs of your target market and identify any gaps in the current FinTech landscape that your app can fill.
2)Define your app's functionality: Determine what specific features your app will have and how they will help users achieve their financial goals.
3)Create a business plan: Develop a clear and detailed business plan that outlines your app's value proposition, target market, revenue model, and financial projections.
4)Obtain necessary licenses and approvals: Depending on the type of FinTech app you are creating, you may need to obtain licenses and approvals from regulatory bodies such as the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) in the UK.
5)Build your team: Assemble a team of experienced developers, designers, and business professionals who can help you bring your app to life.
6)Develop the app: Use agile development methodologies to create and test your app, working closely with your team to ensure it meets all relevant legal and security requirements.
7)Test and launch: Test your app thoroughly to ensure it is user-friendly and secure, and then launch it on the appropriate app stores.
8)Market and promote your app: Create a marketing strategy to promote your app and attract users to it.
9)Monitor and improve: Monitor your app's performance and user feedback, and make improvements as necessary.
It is important to note that this is a general outline and the specific steps and requirements may vary depending on the type of FinTech app and the country in which you are operating. It is advisable to consult with legal and financial experts to ensure compliance with all relevant regulations.
The short answer is to build software using certified components. Unless you run into specific issues of availability or complications, you can also opt to build everything yourself. The only question here is to have enough capital to go this route. This is also viable if you have funding from investors or grants to bridge that gap.

What is the ideal percentage of revenue you should apply to a marketing budget for a new business?
I think differently about this, because of two reasons: 1) I've always (and only) been involved in bootstrapped startups; and 2) I've been lucky that those startups grew organically and fast (enough) which minimized our need on marketing spend. Instead of deciding on a specific budget for this, I would instead look at your current priorities (in terms of budgeting and re-investment into your team): 1. Build a great team. 2. Build a great product. 3. Craft incredible customer experiences. 4. Spend money on marketing. If you've already hit all 3 top priorities and you can't reinvest any further into those, then you should start spending money on marketing. If you don't have revenues today and you are hoping to generate revenues through marketing spend, you're on slippery slope (says the bootstrapper). Whilst not wrong, this is tricky and you'd need to take a realistic look at your customer acquisition cost (CAC) and how much you can invest into acquiring new customers.AP

Business partner I want to bring on will invest more money than me, but will be less involved in operations, how do I split the company?
Cash money should be treated separately than sweat equity. There are practical reasons for this namely that sweat equity should always be granted in conjunction with a vesting agreement (standard in tech is 4 year but in other sectors, 3 is often the standard) but that cash money should not be subjected to vesting. Typically, if you're at the idea stage, the valuation of the actual cash going in (again for software) is anywhere between $300,000 and $1m (pre-money). If you're operating in any other type of industry, valuations would be much lower at the earliest stage. The best way to calculate sweat equity (in my experience) is to use this calculator as a guide: http://foundrs.com/. If you message me privately (via Clarity) with some more info on what the business is, I can tell you whether I would be helpful to you in a call.TW
