In Nigeria today, we are privileged to have good business men and women all around us however some few people still fail in growing their businesses. I'm going to show us step by step how to own a water production line and some other fruit juice production line.

Welcome on board.

front seat,

Following.

The major reason for setting up a business is to maximize profit at reduced cost.

How ever maximizing profit at reduced cost in Nigeria can sometimes be very challenging for entrepreneurs to achieve due to the following reasons.

I will point out one by one...

In few years back I hustled and struggled looking for white collar jobs while working as an auditor... with a small but semi-structured Audit firm in Lagos not until 2014 I virtually got a good job with a world class organisation.

But then, I really worked towards establishing my own Firm.....

I started a company called Roselle Fruit Juice and then started producing Water, zobo, and other fruit juice....

Back to subject of discussion.

The major challenge for entrepreneurs in this aspect is:

1. Unavailability of production raw materials.

Venturing into this kind of business, you must look at the challenges involved before any other thing. Raw material is key and it involves various types and qualities...

Every business set up in Nigeria has its own challenges and pure water production business is not an exception. After tackling the issue of Raw material very well, we have another major challenge which is Finance.

Other important issues to be considered are:

*Manpower

*Management

*Government policies

*Competition

*Electricity

*Clean water

*Accessible road

*Efficient transport system.

PURE WATER PRODUCTION IS A SEASONAL BUSINESS:

Packaged water production in Nigeria is a seasonal business and as such one should expect high sales during the dry seasons (from October every year to April the following year). And expect low sales during the raining season (from May to September). Though some people record large turn over and profits all round the year.

PURE WATER PRODUCTION BUSINESS IS ALSO VERY COMPETITIVE:

A good investor must be aware that the pure water production business is very competitive.

In the last few years a lot of Nigerians have found pure water production a very lucrative business and such you now have so many pure water production outfit scattered all over Nigeria.

The proliferation pure water production business in Nigeria has brought about stiff competition in the packaged water industry in the country and that is the main reason why the price of a sachet of pure water remained at N5 even in the face of rising cost of production and packaging materials.

But, a sachet of pure water in Lagos is now N10 and a bag is now being sold between N80 to N120, this is due to the recent removal of fuel subsidy by the federal government.

HOW TO MANAGE PURE WATER BUSINESS FOR MAXIMUM PROFIT.

To make maximum profit from pure water production in Nigeria, there must be an effective production management and marketing system in place.

With a sound production management and marketing system I’m sure you will indeed be able to overcome most of the challenges listed above.

My cousin really made millions in this investment that I became so envious... I mean the mney was just coming for a guy of his age about 28 years

THINGS YOU SHOULD TAKE NOTE ABOUT MANAGING A PURE WATER / BOTTLED WATER BUSINESS:


With sound management & maintenance culture in place, your business will attract serious minded people to work with you.

You have little to worry about.

Your staff will put in their best before letting you know there is a problem.

Efficient management will make your employed marketers to be proactive and monitor customers without being told.

Make sure your workers come to work early and on regular basis.


Most importantly, make sure every worker mind his or her own business, so to increase efficiency and less time for gossips.

Also make sure you motivate your Packers, drivers and marketers to work more in order to meet production and sales target.

Above all make sure your product is of high quality, sell at a reasonable price and put in a good customer relation system in place to keep customers coming back for your product. (Contact me for a guide on this)

Also, NOTE that your presence is very important to the success of your pure water business. Therefore you make sure you have some measure of control of your business or employ somebody is trust ward to manage it for you.
