HI
i want to start exporting bussiness with about 40,000.(charcoal and bitter cola).
can anyone tell me the possible challenges i will face and is it still profitable.
thanks .

do u mean u have start-up capital of 40K or what?
That sector is quite untapped,profitable and are in high demand abroad BUT i dont know how far u can go with ur 40K capital.
U can start by posting what u have at online trade centers like Alibaba and craiglist.

See: http://charcoalexport.tripod.com and http://bitterkolaexport.tripod.com for help.

Your capital of N40,000 will only be able to start exportation of gallstone i.e http://richstone2.tripod.com

@ poster,
I dont know abt the bitter-cola but for the chacoal i think we can do the business together if you are genuine and really interested to work on that,
I have the geniuine buyers for the chacoal over here and all you need to do is to make some geniuen contact in Nigeria who are ready to deliver it on FOB Apapa Lagos port,
For more discussion you can contact visit our website @ www.eglone-group.com
or write me direct at dgimanagment@yahoo.com.
Hope to hear from you.

All you need is the right info.
with 40k i hope you can do
well in this business.

Goodluck

Sir, do you have people who can deliver the chacaol on Fob Apapa port,
That is one of the major problem we have with Nigerian business.
Many people tell you they have the amterial on the groud and lead into accepting a contract and recieving LC which you have to place a performance bond, At the end you end up lossing your PB and all the comission chrage by your bank in recieving the LC. So if you r sure of wht you are saying then i think i can help you open a market there here in Asia and not only in Europe.

wait guys,are we saying that this charcoal importation can actually kick off with a 40K capital

I dont think there is any possibility of you starting up any export business with 40k Naira unless you are talking abt 40k USD or you co-invest.

@Princekovo,i know,i only wanted to be doubly sure,as the OP said hes got 40K as capital. . .it seems no one was addressing his problem.

@princekevo

I have charcoal in large quantity, i have workshop in ojeowode, western part s of oyo state where charcoal is being produced in large quantity.
I have a registered company with 'CAC' if you can assure me on transaction safety, i think the buz could be done.


This is my mail joseph_klinks@yahoo.com

N40,000 cannot get you into the business of exportation of charcoal or any other commodity. That is a fact. The guy has to get more money, or he should do some other business to generate the money and then kick off.

He needs a minimum of N400,000 to start the business successfully, because in addition to sourcing the products, he needs to pay the cost of freight, the NESS fees, insurance fees, etc.

I want to know if i can get contacts of possible buyers of Bitter Kola, and what is the packaging procedure and what postage procedure can i use to export 50-100kg. And also what is the procedure for Air freight.

there is another way of sending the product as export ,it is by posting it through courier services,instead of using shipping companies.

i think #40,000 is even enough for the biz

I have shipped several containers of charcoal to europe and it will not cost you anything less than N550k-N600K to move a container so the N40k story is far from the truth. The major challenges are as follows:

The local suppliers in the village will always cheat you, if you pay for 23 tons with should be the net weight of 40ft container you may find out that it was just 19tons. No weigh bridges in villages.

The oyinbos buying from europe often cheat too, some times they lie about the quality and quantity in order to reduce that amaount payable to you. while some others will just refuse to pay you. a guy in Germany is still owing me about 6000 euros, though is a Nigerian.
