Good evening...
I really took some time thinking of how to begin this thread but anywhere I begin from, I just want to be sure am communicating with you, that is, am able to pass an idea to, almost a replica of what is on my mind.

Over the years, from learning and experience, I have come to fully understand that making money is just by selling goods or services. Any business falls under that, manufacturing, entertainment, whatever. And behind every Business are 3 pillars: Idea, Capital and an Entrepreneur. Before, I used to hear that the greatest hindrance to starting a business is capital, but letter, I learnt that idea, was really the greatest problem. So since then I had alway placed Idea as a priority in my business drive. And I also discoverd that Ideas that made people were Stunning, innovative, exceptional, and most attimes new.
But after my stunning and innovative ideas, I discovered that start-up capital was still a problem. Though not the greatest problem, it is a great problem.

As entrepreneurs, ideas may not be a problem. Capital might. We know we have ways of raising capitals, like loans, savings, investors, cooperatives, etc And at times, we exhaust some of these options without being able to raise money for our business. Personally, I have been an entrepreneur for some few years and I know how difficult, it is raising funds. I have an experience where my business idea was hijacked by my investors.
************
So I came up with an idea of a cooperative. If I have 500 people who would make a one-time contribution of #2000 each. We could invest and re-invest both the capital and profit for a period of 12 to 18 months. And at the end of the period, the money is shared to the owners. And certainly, it would be possible for each person to raise #72,000 to #80,000 within that period. But as an individual, raising that amount may seem difficult.
*************
And on the businesses to invest on. With so many lucrative business opportunity, finding the right business wouldnt be a problem.The business to invest on will be agreed by the members. The business must be short or medium term like Oil and Gas deal or contract. And it would exclude:
HYIP
FOREX
FOOTBALL BETTING
STOCKS
and any other high risk business
**************
BENEFITS:

-Startup fund for your business
-Exposure to different business opportunity.
-Business connections among members
*Loans (When we have a large capital base)
-Access to business aids and advice
-Business ideas updates
** more are coming
**************
Legal Issues

Every organisation is established on a legal ground. And this is exactly what we are working toward. For a start, we would employ methods of agreement available. We take full responsibility for every fund raised and would guarantee the security of our members. And in a shortwhile we would full launch our full legal package and registration proper.

**************
I wish to make this the official thread of this cooperative.
I wish to solicit the support Seun and the mod of this section. I also want to commend them for their effort in seeing that nairaland.com is what it is today.
**************
12 Months is a long time to achieve this and 12 month is a short time to wait coz time flies.

Nice one.

Good idea.

@ op, nothing was said about registering the cooperative and modalities put in place to guarantee members' contribution.

uboma: @ op, nothing was said about registering the cooperative and modalities put in place to guarantee members' contribution.

i talked about legal issues. Am working on that

I think this is a nice opportunity for students who wish to raise money for business. Other than business the money raised could go a long way of meeting some basic finantial need. ASUU is about to call off the 4 month strike, investing a little from all you have made will definately pay in a long run. Think fast and join us

nice one

Op, count me in. I have sent my request to join d online group on facebook. My No is 08098903321 (whatsapp)

This is a very bright idea. There's power in numbers...

i'm in ...07033356351

Good idea only if op will be sincere and let people have trust in you, because this na money matter, by the time 500 people contributed 2k each, what is the guarantee you disappear?

I like your idea but that 2k is too small. Atleast the minimum should be 5k. For business plan I would go with transport

Tonjeola1: Good idea only if op will be sincere and let people have trust in you, because this na money matter, by the time 500 people contributed 2k each, what is the guarantee you disappear?

the cooperative is getting registered. So till then, we are not collecting any money

I am in bro.. 2k is still OK for a start, when enough trust in gained people can start investing any amount they are capable of.. Nice idea. Someone here on NL have once suggested this type of idea to seun but he didn't take it serious then.

I doubt it that the op has really researched what cooperative means, its mode of operation and legal requirements.If your goal is to raise money from multitude to achieve economic of scale, a better term to use is JV or partnership!
You disclosed that registration of ur cooperative is underway when you claimed to have had only 4 members (you inclusive). How is that possible?. How many meetings have you held? Do you even have cooperative register ready?
I'm not condeming ur laudable idea or forsight, but you don't go about cooperative biz model the way you're doing. If you think I'm talking nonsense, you can challenge me to a debate on cooperative business.

So I came up with an idea of a cooperative. If I have 500 people who would make a one-time contribution of #2000 each. We could invest and re-invest both the capital and profit for a period of 12 to 18 months. And at the end of the period, the money is shared to the owners. And certainly, it would be possible for each person to raise #72,000 to #80,000 within that period . But as an individual, raising that amount may seem difficult.

@ bolded. How?

I have joined the group on Facebook. I hope the purpose will not be abused in the nearest future.

Pls, 2k per individual is good to start with.

I cant believe people are this gullible to fall for this. SOmeone tells you he is looking for 500 people to contribute 2k each and bluntly tells you your money will be invested in HYIP, FOOTBALL BETTING, FOREX and any other high risk business, hahaha, those three businesses each have about a 95% chance of failure. Heaven knows what the other high risk businesses are. If you are wise, run with your money now oo. We have been into online biz for too long to we even slightly interested in this.

@toluxa1, i think u shud look for someone to help you interprete op's post. He said, they'll innvest on other biz except Hyip, betting, forex, etc.
