Please ask your friend how much he charges for computer training?

nuelsylves:
he said he didn't take it serious but he charges b/w 10k nd 15k though depends on how dt person negotiate. But he said full computer school centers charges b/w 20k nd 25k.

N/B: I will not advise anybody that wants to run a biz centre to buy new printers, they are fragile. Second hand printers last longer than new ones - talking from experience.
Success!

I need to know how much your friend charges for typesetting.

nuelsylves:

bro am sorry for late reply....., I have been bussy these days. Typesetting is N70 per page. Note: he is not in school environment. His office is located @ busines area. So most of his clients are business and office people. Though sometimes students do bring assignments for him.

It's been a while, Mr. jmoore.
How is life? How is your computer business, hope all is moving fine.
Like i stated earlier (in my thread), i would like to start a computer business center similar to yours, but the difference here is that i don't intend to attach a cyber cafe to it.
i intend to offer:
1. Scanning
2. Typing
3. Printing
4. Photocopying
5. Laminating
6. Spiral binding
7. Desinging (corel/photoshop)
8. Email
9. Result checking/ exam registration (jamb, waec, etc.)
10. Other internet services.
11. Architectural design(not now)

After much contemplation on this, here is a list of equipment/ gadgets i think will be ok for me:
1. DESKTOP(2nd hand)
2. U.P.S(new)
3. Scanner/printer (new, mini, 2 in 1)
4. Coloured Printer (new, for bulk printing)
5. Photocopier, table size (2nd hand)
6. Laminator (new)
7. Spiral binder
8. Thumb printer(for jamb reg)
9. Generator (new, to power printer and photocopier at a time)
10. Any missing item not listed.
Please what is the price range for me to set up such, and what will be my profit margin. I stay in Imo.
Thanks.

Mods, please do something about this thread, move it to front page for people to learn.

Your list is okay. Let me do a price estimate for you

1- Desktop 2- (15,000-18,000 each)
2- UPS- 1200VA costs ₦15,500 while 1500V costs ₦18,000
3- Printer/Scanner- (3 in 1 ) ₦12,000
4- Colored printer (Some folks suggest laser jet should be used for black and white while deskjet/inkjet printers should be used for colored printing)
5- Photocopier - 40,000-45,000
6- laminator- 7,500
7- spiral binder? not sure of the price. I have not started that yet.
8- Thumb printer? No idea.
9- Generator- 45,000


That's all for now.
