Lets talk about packaging a little bit.

To become a contractor with a difference you have to do some packaging. You dont have a choice. Truthfully, this is not a small boy's game. No matter how low you are on cash, you must be ready to spend a minimum of N200,000 for a start excluding office environment. And an office environment is a MUST if you want to make it fast. If you cant afford an office, then pair with someone to rent a space, i believe its cheaper that way.

Now you have done all the necessary registrations, and least i forget, here are some of the prices;
DPR registration - N30,000
TAX clearance - N25,000 (picking up your TIN number is free)
Nipex registration - N30,000 (This is compulsory if you want to get contracts from Oil companies).
Insurance (Workmen compensation) - N10,000, this is what i paid the last time i did it for someone using one of the insurance companies.

Now all these are set, there is something you need more than necessary. Corporate Website.

You must have a website if you want to position yourself properly. Last year when i was processing my vendor registration with APIN in Abuja (Aids Prevention Initiative in Nigeria), i was told that i MUST have a corporate email address and website. The organization will NOT contact you if you present your yahoo or gmail address.

This is one of the important aspects of packaging your company. Secondly, do you have a complimentary card? Do you have a beautifully designed pamphlet? Do you have a corporate profile designed as a brochure? Do you have a "previous jobs done experience"? If you don't have these then get them. They wont cost much but they will speak for you.

If you have an office, do you have a secretary? You really don't need to have so much money to retain one. Let the secretary do other stuff like typesetting, etc so income can be generated from those to pay him/her at the end of the month. Simple but effective strategy.

Do you have a dedicated office phone line? Nokia torch light is N3,000 and am hearing of a new package from Glo whereby you buy a line and pay N2,000 monthly, then have access to call any network for free though out the month. These are not really expensive but will package you to an extent.

And most importantly dress well at all times. You never know who you might run into especially in the bank. PSquare once said people tend to step out of their way and shiver when they walk, it's not because they are pompous or proud, but because of the way the package themselves. A popular saying goes "dress the way you want to be addressed" - Arch Bishop Idahosa.
============================================================================================================
[b]In the previous post, i talked about documentation. Pardon me cos i want to do some marketing, you can consider it my incentive for dishing out information on this thread nobody will give to you. These documents are compulsory and if you cant write them, pay a professional to write them for you. And trust me, they are not cheap. Sometimes i charge almost N70,000 just to write HSE policy document and HR manual which culminates to almost 100 pages. A guy i know did some packaging including writing these documents for a company and he was paid N450,000 (i was like: WOW, this guy don hammer).

It's not easy to cough out money for these and thus making it hard for people to set up companies as contractors. I setup a solution sometime ago and people who have requested for it are really smiling cos the solution really cut down their expenses almost 100%. The solution is the Office Manager Bundle Pack which contains over 200 official documents including HSE policy documents, Employee handbook, HR manual, proposals, business plans, financial documents and templates, Contractor's documents, Agreement documents, etc. If you want to become a contractor with a difference and have a piece of the local content chop, then you MUST possess these documents. You will thank me later.

The whole pack of documents is being sold for N8,000 in the official website www.officemanager.com.ng BUT my intention of opening this thread is not to make money but to help. I know if some of you guys here get established, you will definitely give me a call one day for JV or to work with you as a sub contractor in some projects (happy ending). So, if you need these documents i will give it to you for N3000 but it's for people following this thread. Send me an email on nwakstar2020@gmail.com or text me on 09050915360. To start this race in this year 2015, instead of spending over 100k for documents which are a necessity, am helping you get them for 3k. [/b]

It is expected that after filling ur annual return at FIRS or SIRS that u submit a copy of the annual report to the CAC with a fee of 1k. Failure to do this every year attracts a fine between 3 - 5k for each year u didn't. if these years that u didn't file the annual report with CAC exceed 5 years (or more), your company will be considered DORMANT, CAC has the right to delist ur company as a registered company but u can also get it restored back if it is delisted within a timeframe by paying another fee (25k I think) for reinstatement of company registration after u must have done all the backlog annual returns and other things. The filing of this CAC annual return is done once in a year.
