Wow!
''Good Day Stella,
Please I need help/advice, my hubby gave me N2million to start a business since April and up till now I have not come up with anything, all of sudden I have no idea of a business to do, and he Said by September he will collect the money back.
He says that I am not serious, but truly i am trying so hard to come up with something but nothing yet, before now I can give people business idea, now that its my turn all the ideas have disappeared. please I need business ideas.
SDK bloggers good ideas please. Thanks and God bless you all''
*Wow,this life na wah!
Why dont you try 'second hand children clothes'.? I hear it sells like hot cake if you buy the large unopened rolled up bags and resell to buyers.
Try a lingerie store...different sexy colours and patterns in a friendly atmosphere,with window display.
Clothes Clothes Clothes. ......it seems to me everybody is into it. Why dont you think of Dry Edibles? Wholesale, retail. Though the interest is not much but it sells faster. All the best dear
ReplyDeleteFood business booms like wild
DeleteLike other well meaning BVs stated look for a basic need around you....it may be laundry business who knows....just open your eyes dear
1. Open up a shop to sell babies' necessaries eg- baby's clothes, shoes, accessories(for new born) , pregnant women's necessaries(breast pump), mother care etc.
DeleteGod bless your hustle.
Think of what people need and not what they want. If they need it your business will grow faster and less debtors eg nobody owes a pharmacist because they need drugs, some thing like that necessities of life building materials, gas/kero/fuel supplies, food/food items/equipments, water etc. If you do a business that capitalises on what people want eg clothes, shoes, hair you have to make it put up a website so you can manage your debtors that way if they don't pay they don't get it. Think on this line
DeleteGod! I wish I had that amount of money, my business and business idea will be in cloud 9. Hmmmmmmm, it is well.
DeleteActually poster you don't need such huge amount of money to start a business, so having such amount is an added advantage, and there are hundreds of business to start with such amount,
The main aim of business is to offer service and satisfy peoples demand, so whatever you do, look for what people demand the more this days and what can never go out of demand, and one of the main thing that can never go out of demand is foods and household items or goods.
So one of the business I will advice you to start is a superstore or supermarket, where you sell provisions, cosmetics, wines and drinks, household items, etc these are goods that will never go out of demand, what people consume and use on a daily basis.
With 500,000, you can get a good start of that business, but with 2 million, you are better placed to start in a big way, you are on a fast lane. Also location is very important with this kind of business
If you don't have any idea on the business or how to start, you can contact me, I can be your manager, I have close to 9years experience in the affirmation business or better still get someone with skill in such discipline to help you out, with two million you can afford the service

Poster I own a babies/kids shop and I can say it's a lucrative business especially if you get unique items and your prices are pocket friendly. Don't rush into it,may God order your step.
DeleteI must commend the poster for not being a shopping fool.You are very disciplined with money. If you must have a shop,sell food items.That's a very lucrative sector yet to be adequately tapped! Make sure its in the suburbs,where "real housewives"(Telemundo mums), find it tedious going to the market to buy "ogiri".Bring yams,palm oil,dried fish,egusi etc to their domain.infact,you will become royalty in their midst! Highly lucrative!
DeleteStart a poultry farm or cattle rearing business....
DeleteWww.omosarah.com
Okrika business includes but not limited to debtors, bad market, nasty competitors etc if you must do okrika combine it with another business...
DeleteMy problem with provision bizness is dat it causes too much confusion,cracking of brain with lil profit to show for it!abeg joor
DeletePoster try #eermmm#...can't think of anything,silly me

Lolz!...
DeletePOSH MIDWIFE
Look for a need around you and try to fill it, like SDK said ok sells Fast, 1st grade ok, but Since you Capital is big, why not go into pure water and bottled water Manufacturing?
ReplyDeleteI could do with the ideas too. Been thinking of an affordable business to do
ReplyDeleteWhatever business you do, make sure it's related to a necessity; food, shelter, clothing. Something the majority of the population can buy. The economic situation in Nigeria is not favourable to any frivolous business idea. At the initial stage, it's preferable to do the business from home and use word of mouth marketing/social media to reach friends/ family/targeted customers. I hope you have a car to make deliveries. You can also make use of despatch men.
ReplyDeleteIf you live in Lagos, by the time you finish paying 2 years rent for a shop and furnishing it, 2mn don finish.
Lol even in pH o. 2m. U will rent shop na and renovate before u put in woteva, dats d reason evryone want to do clothing and superstore
DeleteCheck your location and research into what people around there need but don't have access to. E.G, VI workers in Ikorodu, Lagos will appreciate a shuttle that will convey them to VI and take them back home. This will lessen the stress of driving and struggling for bus in the morning. They can pay monthly or weekly; the shuttle should be made as comfy as possible.
ReplyDeleteI also know that ladies are always buying stuff, be it clothes, jewellery, shoes n bags. You can use your car for the meantime and drive to your friends' offices and others for a start. When you recoup your capital, you can now rent and tush up a boutique.
There is also fish farming, with the amount you have, you can rent a plot of land somewhere and create a pond then get the fingerings.
Everything depends really on your location and the need of the people in your environment. All the best.
Amebo mistress,selling things in pple's office will only cause her money to be trapped in debts!pple are mean and selfish now o!hmmm
Delete@poster don't know ur location,but u can start property bizness as in real estate bizness on a small scale,dia is serious money in that thing.#u can tank me leta
Open à restaurant! Nigérians love food. The best there is around you. Have a delicacy that draw people to your restaurant daily. If you can't cook, employ one. Better still open a patisserie : make nice delicious bread, cakes, cookies, tartes, include a tea and fresh fruit drink in spot where people can come in buy cookies or cakes and drink and relax. Include coffee spot. Sorry my English is becoming rusty (live in France). Or again open a smoothie spot where pple can buy fresh smoothie (Nigeria has the perfect weather for that). Just know where to get fresh fruits each season and yoghurt. My 2cents. All the best. Chidi.
ReplyDeleteI buy stella's idea. Second hand childrens clothes aka okrika has gain u can add these OK shoes as well.
ReplyDeleteWhy not try ladies wear mixed with lingeres. Mostly the cheap ones an average lady can buy n not this costly designers. Dnt mean aba made, some cheap chinese n US stuff. With time u start adding little tns like shoe, bags etc. . Make sure u learn alittle bit of training like a month from an already established person in the field u wnt to venture into.
ReplyDeleteIt depend on ur location or the area u want to sart d busines
ReplyDeleteOne of the keys to having a successful business is finding out the need in the place u want the business sited and meeting it.........look around the area and find out the needs there and whatever it is will sell like hot cake.........a lot of people open nice businesses but they don't progress cos they aren't meant for people of that area.
ReplyDeleteLingere won't work......have you thought of bakery? Learn baking and start.something.
ReplyDeleteAm learning baking now. Will b tru by month end, pls how do I begin sum tin. Cos i gone to shops around me but dey have pple supplying dem already. Wot else can I do pls

ReplyDeleteBwahahahaha. ......
DeleteBush girl SDK with your low way of thinking 'second hand children clothes' How about buying brand new kiddies clothes? Horse hair is in fashion and i don't know anyone who sells hair who ain't making money. Can you travel? Better use of your 2M if you can travel.
ReplyDeleteWhy are you a fool like this though?
DeleteAsin!!!!! She's too razz, I knw she'll swallow this comment as usual but at least it's been read :p
Deletena wa 4 una oooo,how is she razzz or bush,seriously it sells like mad,if you can't buy a first grade okrika Dere re people who will,and FYI some second hand clothes re way better Dan d new clothes.
DeleteI'm sure you lived your whole life on hand me downs....and you are here forming trash....how many horse hair have you purchased? ordinary darling Yaki you can't buy you wait for hand me down human hair that your friends have used and washed a thousand times too small
DeleteThere is nothing wrong or razz in selling fairly used clothes cos there is a target population for it...there are stores abroad that deal in such...and besides before you form stable goody two shoes for me most of your so called boutiques in Nigeria have more of first grade okrika and clearance goods hanging for sale at the price of new ones.
It baffles me when people that can't afford a decent balanced diet thrice a day come to blogs and exhibit..their poverty mentality...
Dear unknown and prada...you really need to quit deceiving your selves.
How can she travel with 2 million? How much is two million again in euros? Ok, if I understood what you meant, you mean she should start going abroad to purchase whatever product she decides to sell, my dear, it's a waste! Lets start with visa fee, ticket cost both ways! Where will she stay? Definitely in a hotel if she has no friend or relative to stay with, cost of transporting herself within which ever country of her choice, mind you as a first time she is not yet acquainted with the environment, there are also costly minor
Deletemistakes that might occur, what about cargo cost. I think 2 million is still below the cost of embarking on such.

Delete#Dorooreladoroloveyou!
DeleteGod bless you orela dimples.
Deletelet me tell you moveable business you can engage in especially in naija.
ReplyDelete1. ice block business( buy the ice block making machine, buy two deep freezers and a good generator that can power them...bam! (those hawking on the streets plus those with shops will rush to buy, everybody wants cold drinks because PHCN will never stop withholding power)
2. second hand clothes like stella said (okrika)- lots of people from all classes patronize them.
3. drink business- wine, soft drinks, and all of that..but you are selling in cartons and a little retailing.
4. plastic business (rubber)- rubber cups, plates, buckets, baby bathing set etc (at least rat cant eat them up like provision business
5. open a small crèche - if u love kids (service kind of business yields profit.
I wish you the best. do fast o! before bros collect the money back.
Gbam! Bloglord u took d words from my mouth. Spot on.
DeleteOne billion likes 4ur comment.
DeleteGood biz ideas you've got and am so buying d first.
Thanks bloglord...am not d poster o!
Bloglord, your ideas are great but she has to get an extension. 6 months is too short to get a business profitable enough to repay the principal sum and still have capital to restock.
DeleteAboki Na Mallam (the fake one), why are you insisting on a repayment plan when the poster has clearly said the 2mn was a gift from her husband.
DeleteHer husband only threatened to collect it back from her if she's not started a business with it by September.
And I do t think her husband will collect it back, he prolly said that to encourage her. Which is very good of him. When u give someone money for business it's best u give them the impression that it's a 'loan' so that they can be responsible with it. Some other women would taken such gestures from hubby for granted, saying shebi he's my hubby I'll spend it anyhow and ask for more. Her hubby should be applauded.
DeleteIf it's a place where they party a lot.....go into rentals or selling of drinks.
ReplyDeleteIf its a place where a lot of building are springing up...go into sale of cement.
If its a low or middle class area....try okirika clothes,shoes and bags.....don't forget to add kiddies wear
If its a place with a lot of fashionable ladies: go into make up and hair extensions....most ladies would spend their last dime to look good.
You location help in determining the kind of business venture o. I wish you success
One of the keys to having a successful business is finding out the need in the place u want the business sited and meeting it.........look around the area and find out the needs there and whatever it is will sell like hot cake.........a lot of people open nice businesses but they don't progress cos they aren't meant for people of that area.
ReplyDeleteSo true o. I opened a lingerie shop in my area. Nobody answerd me o all dey do is come in to charge fones. For almost a year nutin, but wen someone advised me to add okrika pants bra sleeping clothes etc and dat was it. It sold like crazy. Pple kept coming until I moved to lagos, and got a job, d biz stil dey my mind o til now
DeleteHmmmmm be careful woman before someone dupes u here.u no get friends and family to ask from? Na wa o
ReplyDeleteTrue talk
DeleteWho'll dupe her here when she didn't leave her contact details?? **confused**
DeleteThe essential first step in starting a business is having a well articulated plan.
ReplyDeleteMadam, could it be that the short time frame given to you to repay is the reason you are afraid to execute any of your previous business plans? If you believe that 6 months is short to get your business into profitability, discuss a more suitable time line with the provider of credit.
Maybe also you are afraid of failure. Remember that business is all about risk. There is always risk whenever reward is available. Best of luck.
Credit?
DeleteYes Jessica. The 2 million is a loan(credit) and her husband is the provider.
DeleteThere are a lot of suggestions I have read today that make sense but unfortunately no one is taking into consideration the repayment date.
If she buys merchandise and is unable to sell them by September, what happens?
Starting a business is not like people say it is. Her husband should be able to extend the repayment time to allow her business to become firmly established.
Na wa o Aboki r u sure u can read? D money was given to her by her hubby he didn't say she should pay back hmmm
DeleteAboki na mallam, where was it sated that it's a loan? Abi na u be the husband? Na wa o!
DeleteBury it in the ground it will grow into a tree.

ReplyDeleteMy dear, relax your head first. Not everyone is cut out for business o..Its better you return the money back for now and get your head sorted out than running into a business and losing so much resources at the end!

@orela pimple shut the entire fuck up, iirritant!
DeleteHoerela pimples u are a fucking irritant, if u grew up on okrika clothes it's not an excuse to irritate us here with all it's benefits....
DeleteBack to the matter depending on where you stay second hand clothes could move cos if the people in that area...... Not all of us go to boutiques where they wash second hand clothes like Orela but truth be told that's what some people can only afford...
And my dear unknown still accepted the truth.... Now run along child

It depends on ur location. I wud hav suggested u open a boutique/clothin line but every street/plaza/mall/complex for lagos now na boutique. Why nt try a wine shop, perfume store, phone/gadget store,hair extention store,mothercare store, or even a supermarket, or a clothin line for just corporate wears&shoes.. hope u mk a decisn fast b4 dear DH vex collect him money bk.. Goodluck!
ReplyDeleteHallos
ReplyDeleteWhy don't you invest in children's clothing. There are many online stores that deliver to Nigeria from UK and US or you buy from Dubai.
ReplyDeleteYou could also sell ladies dresses and accessories including shoes and bags. You can get good designer brands from Dubai, UK and US.
You only need to know a couple of ladies who can spread the word for you. Open a blog where you display your wares, and use the pictures of your wares as DP on your BB
2mil is enough to kick start the business from home if you are mobile.
Good luck and all the best.
You could start a creche/ daycare. Do your research. It will be very rewarding if you do it in the right place (where there's a need for it) and add a touch of class to it... You could also sell goods (clothes, Accessories, perfumes, etc).... Or start a small dry cleaning outfit in a nice place... ideas are endless, just choose something that is feasible.
ReplyDeleteWith 2 million naira dear, you can do a lot of middle class business! You can start with something to do over there in naija, I won't advice you to get into any cross border business for a start, unless you have someone who will buy the products and cargo them to you.
ReplyDelete-poultry farming
-fish pond
-second hand cloth business.
-Mini day care center
-Mini hair salon
-shoes, bags and accessories
- kids toy shop e.t.c
What ever decision you make, try to survey the market first.

DeletePepper ur head dey dia. Dear Poster, DO NOT START CLOTHES BIZ. Telling you from experience which is currently my nightmare. Everybody dey sell clothes, and travelling to buy ur stock is even worse cos by the time you add Visa, ticket, accommodation, miscellaneous, cargo or excess luggage, how much u go come take buy the main thing? Plus the exchange rate is thru the roof. My dear. Keep 1mil in fixed deposit. Use the other 1 mil to start a basic needs kinda biz. Na person wey chop bellefull, na im dey buy clothes, akpa na akpukwu.
DeletePepper the business Adviser lol

DeleteNa wa for u stella, how can u tel her to start okirika with 2million, how many kids stil wear okirika up til now when they r affordable good quality cloths

@queen no mind this unknown I'm sure she has bin dealing with okrika all her life even breastmilk wey she swallow as pickin na okrika.... They will be forming I buy new clothes and they are busy buying aba mass production clothes.....
DeleteOrela u need too be killed
DeleteOkrika get grade...if u see original okrika cloth ,bag or shoe u go bow. Mind u dey re authentic designers..beta dan al dos fake dubai designer imposter. Visit kantangua mrkt wen u see kiddies u wnt Eva wan to b buy new frm boutique. My sista bot her kids exam clths der at 4k for jst a dress, she bot 3dresses for 12k. Original designer kiddies dat if u enta d main designer shop u culd buy for nt less Dan 15k each.
DeleteOrela u don't need to lash out at the world cos your parents raised u on okrika clothes...... I don't wear them but I know people do cos all fingers are not equal..... Even abroad you have loads of charity shops and people who don't have much get stuff for less.....Orela stop spending time on blogs and go back to work.after u come here defending doctors when your types are the ones who don't do much for their patients..... You are truly becoming an irritant on this blog
DeleteThere is someone whose most used word is irritant.... Sorry dear,if I'm so irritating try washing me of.....
DeleteAnd even if my parents brought me up with okrika I av an identity.... But your parents got everything for you and still forgot to get you a name....you need to sue them unknown
If na 100k hubby gv her, we for hear ur okirika idea, but 2m, hell no
ReplyDeleteGo to China and have ur own hairline like Funmi hair.Hair business is very profitable!
ReplyDeleteChina ke with 2million?...hmmmm...it won't work...
DeleteOnly sensible advice *hugs*
DeleteWith two million naira????
DeleteDiamondk, well said.
DeleteDon't mind these people who underestimate China. Take 2mn kobo there, they will create a hair line for you. It might not be top quality but the price will attract non-aristo chasing girls from middle class homes. You don’t have to travel all the way. You can conclude everything online with the supplier sending samples to you.
Na real stuck wit 2mill lol... poster it depends on where u r n Wat u av a passion 4...u can start dis recharge card biz,ie d printing n selling in bulk to ppl dat sell,dat biz has ready buyers.but whatever biz u'r doing mk sure it is in wholesale if not dat 2mil will turn to 2nil. Good luck
ReplyDeleteGbam!!..you made a lot of sense...you make 50 naira profit on every 100 naira airtime you print if you are selling whole sale...
Delete*in
DeleteLinda that's not true. I have done a research on airtime business. The profit on N100 recharge card is not even up to N10.
DeleteNa lie profit is very small and it's frustrating.... If u don't do large volumes daily it's a time waster

ReplyDelete1. What are the things u are passionate about?
2. Do they solve human problems? If ur passion can't solve human problem people wouldn't petronise u. If u become a makeup artist like me, u know that every woman wants to look good on that special occassion. U have solved human need. Woala!! U've made ur money. If ur going into the sale of different hair extensions that is another human need because every woman want to also look good. If ur going into the sales of children cloth, its also a good idea because babies are born everyday. Make sure ur passion is a pressing human need.
3. Also ask urself if u can handle the risk that is involved in the business. Some business will require ordering products from a particular country or different countries. While in some businesses u don't get paid instantly so u can be owed a huge some of money 4 a month or even a year. Like AGO business is like that.
4. Can u take the streSs that is involved in a particular business? As a makeup artist travelling from one location to another is normal. As a married woman with little kids (if u have little kids) it might not be a good idea for u.
There are many things to consider when u are about to start a business. Don't just rush into it without planning and considering the business. If not u will run into loss. And also educate urself on business finance with books.
Also make sure u have a long term plan for a business. See urself up there. Don't see urself small. This will differentiate a mediocre from a tycoon
To be able to advise you appropriately I need to know the city you reside. If you live in a town like ABJ, renting a lock up shop would eat up the whole N2 mil. But with your capital, whichever city you may reside, you could run the following from home: start a pet store, sell kiddies' wares from home, trade in gold jewelries, start a dry cleaning business etc. These are some things you can do but if you cannot stand the stress, you can get the money fixed in a bank for 3 months and earn some money.
ReplyDeleteDear poster,
ReplyDeleteIf u re in an urban region and have lots of fashion forward people around u.. venture into buying things online and selling eg Hair from Alibaba.com etc. U can start dat with less dan 500k dont invest it all in that. Then have a go out and create network with resturants... so that u can supply them of livestock.. (this depends on land) u can start small with fish farming with 100k and good space u ll be surprise. But in all do not invest everything at once since u re dabbling.. if the stock from alibaba moves u can then buy more or u can take pictures from the site and tell ur frnds to order once u re sure of the order u can then buy as much as u can.... remb dis never restrict ur self yo ur frnds only... link up with people u can supply morelike wholesale ish. Less stressful. NAZ

Poster, invest in okrika business, aka BDS, it's a very good business. There are companies in the UK that sell good fairly used dresses, bras and corsets, shoes n bags, n a lot more in bales, n there wears are designer wears, n very lovely. If u buy them, they are the type of gowns u can sell for 4 to 5k, n there's plenty gain to be made. I'm currently expecting mine in few weeks. God bless ur business when u finally start.
ReplyDeletePls I need ur contact, want to ask some few questions. Thank you.
DeletePls what's the name of the company,sounds like smething I will be intrested in.help a sister out
DeleteHian, sounds intresting..
DeleteGo and open up a hair shop. Forget clothes business or any other. Hair is the Rave now for young girls and I'm not talking about only human hair but Expression attachments, braid attachments, wigs. Go and register to become a major distributor for hair brands and you'll be counting your money back in droves.
ReplyDeleteThank me later.
If you are looking to go into clothes, then it should be directed to a certain category.. If you want to go into babies, then go fully into babies; what you need to do is to do something unique and different from other people who are maybe already into it or looking to go into it. I am staying in the UK and I have heard a lot about the diapers market, giving that what is in Nigeria as I heard is what they get from china and a child only use it for a couple of minutes and its all wet and bloated. You could probably try to get a different affordable brand of diapers and penetrate the market; it is a movable market. if you are looking to go into clothes, then go for baby bodysuits... so I learnt that this sells upto 4500 - 5000 and it is sold for about 2000 - 2500 here. Do something that you know people need, important thing is to turn over, if you can be able to take 10-15% less profit than your competitors and turn over as much as possible, then you should be comfortable with what you are making and in a little time, it is going to eventually do you good.. There are people in Nigeria who we load up goods for from here in the UK, then there are the fashion jewelries as well, affordable ones.. it all depends on you on what you want but I think when you get to try out a few things, you can eventually decide on what to do. Goodluck and if you need my help in anyway, do drop me a line and we can take it from there.. email: solution.seekers@hotmail.com

DeleteYou that is from the city please download your city ideas.....tssk... You have none...empty barrels make the loudest noise....
DeleteHigh class people don't know okrika but they purchase okrika for the price of new in your high class boutiques....I guess you still don't know that because all you do is go to shop in the morning and be sales person for your boss without knowing the intricacies of the business
Thanks doc!
DeleteYou can go into children stuffs(unisex). Clothes,bags,shoes,accessories etc. U cn add school bag,lunch boxes for children.u can add stuffs for new born babies(button under etc) They sell well.
ReplyDeleteYour location matters a lot
That's my challenge(location),I pray to get a good location soon at an affordable price
To be on the safe side please get a distributorship from one of these fmcg companies. Less risk. Guaranteed returns.
ReplyDeleteHow about opening a bridal shop people get married every weekend u know.
ReplyDeletestart a wine shop. and depending on ur location u can add different kinds of juice

ReplyDeleteKai, I love sdkers, so many ideas. God bless you all jare.
Ask God for direction datz d Noz 1 basic..cos u gonna get so many advice n sure is going to throw u into more confusion..... No other person know u better dan ur know yasef.it also boils down to passion. What do u have flare for,what is ur perception about business,Are u a risk-taker, think of that business dat when u finally start u won't be bored against all odds n u will wanna strive to d end...Ask any business man/ woman abt how dey cope n u will be so shocked cos each business has its peculiarities,challenges and downturn....when all dis comes its d love of d business DAT will make u overcome n stay strong in d business. Good businesses to ventured into.
ReplyDeletePetrochemical business
Fish farming
Crèche
Frozen food/Abattoir business
Fitness home
Food business is also a good one...
Also understanding d needs of the people around you before u venture into any business shd be taken into consideration.
If u don't have flare for business pls don't borda to avoid loss after setting up d business. Wish you the best.
Drinks! Drinks!! Drinks!!! assorted drinks will always sell any season of the year, Fruit Juice, Wines, etc
ReplyDeleteBaking honey. In varsity I used to sell muffins R3 each I could sell 3000 a day within 3 months I had already made 1 million naira so I hired 3 people n 3ple my profit and thn got a shop n started making bread so on n so on today m a self made millionaire n m only 24. My advice is start small dnt be in a hurry to rent a shop or buy too much stock. Do something from home with just 200k and sell something people need not a want . Another advice I cn give u is dnt take small things for granted small things like garri, water, bread are very good because that is something people buy everyday. And do something that makes you happy 2million naira is a lot I started a business with just R1000 which is N15, 198 . Goodluck
ReplyDeleteWhat is your area of interest coz you have to be passionate about something so you can give it your all to make it succeed. Some ideas from me sha.
ReplyDelete1. Poultry Businness
2. Boutique ( I know its everywhere but it still sells)
3. Shoes and bag
4. Baby wears and stuffs
5. Send the money to my acc lemme help you decide
Just buy nice women's stuff like dresses, sandals, costume jewelries, bags,unique wrist watches, camisoles, corporate gowns and suits etc let ur car be ur shop, make contacts with bankers and go to their offices in d evenings. Go to other offices too.
ReplyDeleteGo to dosumu @ eko market. They sell nice and affordable accessories. U deliver @ offices. I having being doing this for sometime now. And u can't imagine, ow happy I am. You will tank me later, okay bye.
ReplyDeleteThanks I needed this info!
DeleteThank you! If 'bush' is your new word for 'being reasonable' good for you.
ReplyDeleteMy question goes to madam class that is so in a hurry to call others bush. How much do you think 2million is? you think it is that much? keep pretending to be what you are not and fooling yourself.
ReplyDeleteI have some suggestions for you:
ReplyDelete(1)If you cant get a space in a developing area,,then you are good to go for CEMENT bizness. its a very lucrative one.
(2)Food stuff in wholesale. There's nobody who does not eat. You are eating now and in no time the thoughts of the next meal comes to mind.
(3)`If u do not mind importation of cars.you can start by importing 2 cars,,the only thing you need is to get the services of a TRUSTED clearing agent that will work with you in the customs clearing aspect.the pencil/tiny light toyota camry is about 750-800k(importation and clearing) and it is sold within d range of 1m- 1.1m . it is my line of bizness and trust me,,it is so interesting BUT you must make sure you are able to source for buyers quickly. so in my case,,i reduce my selling price compared to what you get outside,like that pencil light camry,,i can still sell it for 900-950k.
So u have so many options to choose from.
My dear no matter your location or the people located within your vicinity they cannot do without spices. First of all put one million in a fix deposit. Use five hundred for shop, counter, a deep freezer etc. Then use three hundred thousand to stock the shop with different spices, different brands of seasonings, spagethii, noddles, tin fihes and beef, thin food. Make sure it is very colourful. Use 50K and stock ice cream cups. Keep the remaining 150K in your savings. Omo you go sell tire. Spices advertises itself when properly displayed. The ice cream cos it will be irresistible to all who troup in to your shop. Mind you by sept when Oga ask for his money you can withdraw the one million on fixed deposit account and give him and plead for more time to balance so as not to affect your biz. Before then you wld have tripped your principal investment.
ReplyDeleteJIA
I am really happy about this post. I am giving my brothers and sisters some money for business. I will just make them read this post because i have told them if they don't come up with good business plan NO SHOW. I DON WISE NOW.
ReplyDeleteWow this has to be one of the best post/ comments ever on this blog! Useful ideas pouring in from every corner. I also have been thinking of biz to do. For sure baby things (clothes/toys) and hair extensions are really good cuz they won't spoil and sell fast. In that your baby shop you can also open bale once a wk while still selling new thgs. A woman in my area does it n makes good cash. Just make sure you sell them at affordable rates.
ReplyDeleteDear Poster,
ReplyDeleteGod bless your hubby for his kindness.
Don't go into any retail trade cos u probably have to pay for a shop, govt levies and the rest, that is if you can't start from home. rendering service is more lucrative cos no one owes you large sums of money for too long, you don't have to worry about your products going bad or going out of fashion. rendering service include tailoring, hair dressing, fashion consultancy, make-up, event decorating, laundry....the list is endless.
Another service related bizz that people are yet to really embrace in Nigeria is freelance accounting. here, you source for SME's that don't have or can't afford to have an accountant to look into their books and do the relevant accounting statements. provide the service for them and get paid monthly or they pay you depending on what you do for them. If you have up to 10 organizations you render this service to that's plenty money.... remember, you don't have to rent a shop but it involves a lot of moving around to source for and convince clients. (This shouldn't be a problem for peeps that can sell sand in the desert lol)
I'm sure other blog readers especially those in the accounting field will really benefit from this.
Also, whatever business you decide to go into DO NOT invest all the 2M into it. have some in fixed deposit that you can always fall back on if things don't work out the way you plan.
Cheers!
All Im taking away from this post is that Linda Eze and Orela are diehard Okrika customers. The way they pounce on anyone against Okrika is serious. Linda admits she wears them and Orela believes that all boutiques stock up from Okrika sources. Lol.
ReplyDeleteCalm down girls. It's a matter of choice. Some of us can't wear second hand clothes no matter how durable they are.
Ghen! Ghen! * grabs a sit* goldscent you are looking for trouble oo. Lol.
DeleteAnyway you like you interpret it. Not all boutiques my dear.....but most and even those that claim that all their stocks are new most times buy knock offs.
DeleteI just don't like the way people write others of my alot of us may not patronize second hand clothes but a lot of Nigerians live below average and they wear these clothes...all these are business ideas given by some people...that doesn't make dem bush all are ideas
Hahahahahahahahaahahahahahah..
DeleteHahahahaahahhahaahahahahhah...
Hahahahahahahahahahah....you are so funny...lmao...
Shut up Orela and we don't like the way u behave like a tout and answer every post... You re even becoming more annoying than Linda eze.... If you were raised on okrika clothes it's not the same with all of us... It's a pity u go to only boutiques where they mix okrika with others as for me I don't go to those kinds even though the clothes come from cheap sources like primary etc.... It's just a matter of choice..... I don't however bellittle those who wear okrika cos it's their choice
DeleteIf you don't like the way o reply it's none of my.biz....my data my biz.....your parents could raise you on tear rubber clothes and dey couldn't teach you manners? You are thriving on relieve materials and a borrowed fone.you can't even afford the said okrika...my dear go get a life.....
DeleteWow!u are lucky.i started my cake bizness with 5k.i started off with my mom's mixer 2yrs ago.two weeks ago I bought equipments worth 500k.i have 6 girls working for me.really look for an investor so I can take my business to the next level.start anything that has to do with food.people will eat before they remeber to buy clothes and make their hair
ReplyDeleteWholesale food products. We have wholesale smoothies, crisps and biscuits. Visit our website: www.nutritionalviands.com
ReplyDeleteCosmetics. Everyone needs thes supplies on daily basis. Then while at it, learn the art of cream mixing. Make special creams n put special prices on them. You'll triple you 2M in 4mnths. Trust me if I have that kinda capital,I'm going straight into this biz.
ReplyDeleteThanks for d post, I see ideas pouring out. Bin tinking of biz to embark on since white collar jobs ain't forth coming! I have a GALLANT idea already from dis. I know the capital wil spring forth cos my God is awesome!
ReplyDeleteRudegirl..
#hugs @ Lara.
ReplyDelete@ The Queen and the Boss of this blog....you should be banned for your illiteracy. Bush lesbian runs woman. Like you have ever passed the international airport. Abuja airport is the best you will see. You read magazines and see what other people wear and they tell you where they shop. Primark ko Portobello Road ni. Anuofia. She can buy brand new clothes with 2M. you illiterates keep on hating on people better than you that's why you will never see beyond your noses.
ReplyDeleteSo much hate.
DeleteDon't forget,when going into business,you put the masses in mind if you want your business to boom... Buy what the middle class and poor people can afford,they are the ones that make up the market... Go to yaba and see the way girls who are classy and all stroll in there,its not about what you wouldn't buy,its what others would buy..
ReplyDeleteI don't like okrika,but I was taking to yaba one day and I didn't believe what I saw. My aunt sells kiddies in lekki and they are all okrika from London. She buys the bails,sells them to parent for 4-7k,that's something you would buy for much more if you are to get in the designers store cos they are all top designers...
She necessary must not sell clothes but madam,make sure you sell what everyone needs not want.. Make sure you do something that you are passionate about..
Your hubby shouldn't have given you the money yet until you have an idea,when you get money before your idea,you tend to delve into something that might not bring forth money later.. But when you have an idea first,you would make your plan,strategies and then initiate... It doesn't take a day to do all day,you have to go on market survey and all.. Well you have the money already,use it well. Gather all the ideas here,research,go on survey,see which you can do,know that which the risk is big and small,check the turnovers and then know how much % interest you would be making at the end of the month after deducting all cost

DeletePending the time that you decide on what to do with the money, you can earn some interest on it by investing in the Nigerian Treasury Bills rather than just keeping it in your account. I will recommend HIP Asset Management Company. Their rates and services are top notch. Visit www.hipassetmanagement.com for more info.
ReplyDeleteNow I've decided to go into Supermarket or hair business with 1 million. God bless my BF, we're not even married and he gave me 1million for business. By the time we're married nko? 20million oh...
ReplyDeleteDonate it to the orphanage and God will reward you, good measures, pressed down, and running over. You'll have more than enough to pay back your hubby and keep for yourself..
ReplyDeleteMiss Chief the troll
On a more serious note, you should start a salon or set up an eatery or go into fashion designing. Good luck dear
