BusinessTrumpet News was established in 2015 as a Nigerian online business news portal aimed at small and emerging businesses, entrepreneurs and startups. It has operated as a partner to organisations and events including the African Press Organization, African Media Agency, P+ Measurement Services, the National Business Conference, African Fashion Week Lagos and London, and the Affordable Housing Investment Summit Africa, and has taken part in the Thomson Reuters Foundation and Google North Star training programmes for African journalists. Today, BusinessTrumpet News is mainly focused on Nigerian business and economy coverage, SMEs and ventures, fintech, stock market wrap-ups, agriculture, manufacturing and energy, real estate, funding opportunities, and international football, from their headquarters in Ojota, Lagos State, Nigeria. One interesting fact: the publisher sits at the centre of a small commercial web rather than a standalone newsroom, linking out to its own business-brokerage site BuyMyBusiness, a franchise marketplace, a Nigerian classifieds platform, a health supplements shop and a study-abroad service, and describing itself as a member of the business referral organisation BNI.
