Learning how to grow your business in Nigeria matters a lot for business owners. Nigeria is a consumer driven economy which makes it easier for companies to enter the market unlike other developed countries. As a business owner in Nigeria who wants to grow a business and improve its profitability has a lot of things to work on.

From experience, I will say that most business in Nigeria do not understand the importance of key factors that made up their business and this often makes their business to fail within 2 years. You make several decisions each day that create a huge impact on your business financial structure and these decisions is what shapes the future of your company. The easiest way to increase profitability in most business in Nigeria is to reduce costs which are mainly variable costs. Reducing these costs will increase the profits even if you maintain your sales record.

6. Be focused

This is important, as you have to be focused on your companies’ mission. Make sure that your company is working to achieve its mission as this will make it is easy to achieve the vision. Set a challenging vision and don’t lost focus no matter how things seem to be.

7. Prevent theft

This is important in every organization. Prevent theft from customers or employees. This is will slow your business growth and most often will end your business if you do not prevent it on time. If you are offering a product, install machines and cameras that will detect any theft going around and work on it to prevent it in the future. Make sure that your records are all in tack and most often employ some chartered accountants to check on the records from time to time. Losing cash is very costly.

8. Increase your marketing bar

Understand the importance of marketing for your business. Just like MTN , GLO and other companies advertise their products always, learn from them and advertise your product. It is once said that every time you advertise your product or service, you will more customers and expose your business to many people.

9. Provide Great Service

Even if you are selling a product or a service, it is very important to provide good services to your customers and potential customers. If you do that they will be addicted to your product and services and will also refer their friends to your company.

Every business needs capital to grow but the question is can they be able to manage the capital? You know it is easier to misuse someone else money than your own hard earn money.

I often advice young people to either save or start small business first to raise capital before venturing to that your dream business.

you can get loan from bank along the way or you can convince other friends to raise a particular amount of money and all of you will kick start the business.

So many people go into different types of business that they don’t have ideal of and at the end the business fails, they are other that start a business after a while they lose interest and they go bankrupt. While in some cases they do not see it as a business they sees it as something they need to do to get extra cash from and that is the problem.
