Plus the amount required to open it. Varies according to banks.

abi that one no follow

'E follow' cheesy

You are right that the amount varies. It is also a function of the "product"; banks have developed different kinds of accounts to attract customers.

The applicant can just set aside about N10k to cater for the legal search and cost of chequebook.

Robert Kiyasoki my mentor once said that a research was conducted and it was discovered that 80 percent business never makes it more than 5 years before it crashes and that those that ever makes it, 90 percent of them never make a million dollars in 10 years. These days we see Businesses go up and suddenly fallout. It's so difficult to see a new business ever make it to the top without ever falling millions of time.
The reasons are not far fetched at all. We also understand that it is very rare to see any business starter to get it right from the very onset. Very very rare. But determination will stand you tall among all these. So, keep doing the right thing and the needful and trust me your business stands the chance of not failing but success will be all guaranteed.

We have done our due diligence and we have identified some reasons why most Small Businesses Fail in Nigeria. The list goes on and on but we are gonna take the most prevalent ones.

1. No Business Plan

One of the most important Reasons why most Small Businesses Fail in Nigeria, is that most business starters are never prepared. Sometimes they think lack of capital is the major issue. But that's not the issue first. Can you a builder building a house without a plan that involves an architectural work and other plans and yet you expect that house to stand? So many business starters go into business without a proper business plan and that is where it all begins. You can't go into a business without a business and expect to make progress. It's a mirage don't believe it.lick here for the full details
