With regards to me as the owner of the business, how many departments do I need to run this (remittance as a service business) successfully?

That is not relevant. If you opt for the sponsorship route, you will essentially need the following three tasks to be taken care of by you:

• 1st level of customer support
• Sales and Marketing of your brand/website
• Technical development using the API (if you opt for that route).
