Bossforeva: @ ALL! Am still asking oh! Can i run this, without a certificate 4rm a tertiary institution, i did diploma, but drop out when i got a university admission. Now, i have this enteprenuership certificate from a consulting firm. Do you think i can run this with it, and what should i fill as my higest qualification?

sorry dude. Its strictly for graduates of Nigerian origin. During validation, you will submit your degree or HND certificate.

Randyjay: Hi Nairalanders, can anyone in the house help me out with a guide to writing an acceptable Business Plan by YouWin. My mail address is: okonjames89@yahoo.com or call: 07085999096.

Guy, business plan guide is every where especially on the internet. Go to bplans.com. The thing that makes a business plan acceptable is content. Realistically, it will be difficult for one to dole out their sweat to you just like that. My candid advice, download the business plan template, do your research and tailor your findings to your preferred state of business location (demand and business climate differs due to several reasons: culture, belief, society, etc).

Or you can approach a business development company.

But note that its a series of questions that you provide tailored answers to and not a straight forward business plan.

castello:

This is bad news, someone said earlier that she won while still in school.

@bossforeva I think u should apply, you just have to try your luck. We are in the same situation, but I would still apply, there's no difference.

castello:

You are very very wrong. You don't need university degree to participate, what you need is any form of post secondary qualification. It can be certificate from your computer training, entrepreneurship training, catering, OND etc. My sister that I help was never a university graduate.

In my validation (first edition) they did not ask of my certificte, it was my company registration, form of identification, statement of account or receipt etc and when my sister went for validation, they never asked her of her certificate or what ever.

For those still wondering on how to answer those questions, i have a free ebook that you can download free and learn more including the secrets on how to answer those questions. Visit http//utibeetim.com/youwin.

In couple of weeks, I will be sharing more tips and answers to those questions and also how to answer those questions on my blog.

I agree with utimatedes. The ladies I assisted last year told me they didn't show any certificate, only their forms of identity.

For those looking for sample questions and are yet to lay their hands on any, go read them up here:

if u run these with the certificates above, bro what will you now fill as your highest (post sec) qualification. Also, must one also have a company registeration for a business that's still about to be registered?

Bossforeva: if u run these with the certificates above, bro what will you now fill as your highest (post sec) qualification. Also, must one also have a company registeration for a business that's still about to be registered?

Bro, ur own too much. Fill secondary school as ur highest certification, ur business doesn't have to be registered.

chairman, wot of me dat i dnt av any nigeria id card or driver licence? I recently lost my temporary voters card,pls how can i do this?

@Tek%kyboy, I hope you know no one here is a Youwin staff and even if anyone is, he/she may not be the one to screen you should you qualify to attend their training. So my advice is that you go get one of the IDs.

Is it possible that only people who already have businesses and need capital to expand are the ones winning?

In other words, has anyone seen any new entrepreneur win this?

I registered my business in August this year and yet to get an office. Lots of New businesses won last year. Its assumed that new businesses can't win because they overlook important details in preparing their business plans. Established businesses already know wetin de so its easier to provide the requested information.

I have all the relevant information but my plan includes a building and giving out the money in tranches won't help issues at all except I'm given like 7m of the almost 10m I need in my first tranche, that way I can build and import some of the necessary equipment and start business in less than 3 months.
