A New Business Idea In Need Of Suggestions And Objective Critiquing by AbuuUthaymeen(m): 10:52pm On Feb 06, 2016 |
Business Idea: An e-platform that shows people their lost item(s) has been found by someone. Details: The platform as described above is to offer a platform for people who have found an item(s) or lost item(s) to connect with the owner or know who has found it. When a person finds an item(s) he/she is confused as to what to do with it or where to take it to. This is when our platform comes in by allowing a person who has found an item to take a picture of it, give a brief description, and if he is still at the spot he found the item he clicks on a button, a Google Map plugin, that shows where the exact location is--instantly. This is to ease the connection and to help in ascertaining easily who the true owner of an item is--painlessly. For a person who wants to check, after knowing about our site, he/she will just run a brief search and also there will be room for filter so as to be able to mark specific search. Additional info shall be provided at request by critiques Cc: Wizeboy, Javalove, MrEnersty1985 and all business savvy people. A special call goes out to Lalasticlala if possible to move this to front page. |

didn't want to but... How many cases of lost and found do you know of- meaning, you believe there are that many good samaritans? And what means to prove ownership- will you say 'a watch', or 'a watch with leather strap'? If the so called owner shouts ole nko?! That is, if na truly dem. And if dem no claim say wetn dem loss pass wetn i find... What stops me from demanding a finder's fee? So if i find a purse, i should go online to advertise it?! If contraband dey inside, you go com bail me for panti?! Just highlighting a few issues. Goodluck! 1 Like |

Great idea, but here are a few points I think you should note. 1. What does the initiator stands to gain? How do you make your money and how would you reward those who find lost items? Not everyone would be willing to pick up lost items, take photographs and upload same online. 2. Assuming I find an empty wallet in Ikorodu, upload same online and eventually find the "owner". How do I verify true ownership after stating the detailed description online? 3. Assuming I pick up an empty wallet and the true owner shows up via your platform with the claims that the wallet holds an International Passport and $200, who would bare the cost and to what end? What if the owner descends mercilessly on the "Samaritan", would you be available to bail users? 4. The above issues can be rectified if you state your business strategies clearly and thoroughly. But remember, ideas are not enough, one needs to translate ideas into profitable ventures. All the same, your idea is unique sir and it's largely feasible. 1 Like |

On the first point you raised; how do we make our money and how will those who found item(s) be rewarded.
As to how the ownership will be verified after details of found item(s) given. First, not all the description will be available to users who have come to us for the availability of their items. While a person is filling in information on the item on item that was found, two options will be able to him if there is a means of identity in the item found, but if not he will be asked to state the place and closest time he found it after this he then can lay claim to the item. This links to the next method to be utilized. This other way to stall against laying false on item(s) is having a “Waiting time” whereby an item that has been found will be promoted using the social media for a period of time after which the former claimant can finally take away the item with him/her if no one else lays claim to it. |
