Generating profits in businesses is one of the main aims of starting up any business enterprise. Making money as a business oriented person can sometimes be breath taking, as different strategies have to be followed to boost the business’ profits.
Small scale businesses are mostly carried out with the plan of expanding it if the profit margin grows high. Many of these petty businesses are carried out in a large scale form when many staffs are employed and the business is taken to a location where it can accommodate many customers.

am tired of the LINK CLICKERS...... if u have something helpful to say dont take us out of nairaland. at least say half and if its worth the read we would follow ya link.... THIS IS WHAT YOU WANT US TO CLICK YOUR TRAFFIC LINK for:

This article focuses on 10 petty businesses that generate much profit than what an onlooker may think, these businesses are considered as cheap businesses and therefore not many persons want to go into these lines of businesses.

I hope this will be a eye opener for every youngster and anybody that wants to go into a business but really does not have a business in mind.



Barbing Salon:

Looking good is good business, starting a barbing salon doesn’t require so much, but it is one lucrative business people don’t know. Being social with everybody is one of the things that must be taken into consideration when starting, so that your customers will be able to get acquainted with each other and come to your place to barb and even recommend you for other people.

Bars/ Drinking joints:

Business requires consistency and this is one business that one must be consistent and look out to how other bars and joints maintain their customers.

Bars are profitable as people all over the world drink and have fun with friends especially on weekends. To keep your customers, you must have other things like cigarettes, meats, and other chewables so that they can choose from your varieties.

Laundry Services:

A lot of people prefer professional touch on their clothes when it comes to laundry, and this is why most laundry businesses attract customers because they have the capability to deliver.

To be successful in this business, you have to first of all know the nitty gritty of the business, and approach people in a polite way and advertise your business either by word of mouth or by presenting them with your business card.

Restaurants/Fast Foods:

Selling food is very profitable especially if your meals are usually delicious.

Growing in this line of business requires that you try as much as possible to satisfy your customers with great taste and reasonable quantity, in addition to this, your restaurant must be serene so that new customers will always want to come back to you.

Computer services/ Cyber cafes:

This line of business depends on the location, and therefore must be located near a school or near an institution where people really need these services.

Manicure and Pedicure shops:

This business pays well because ladies keep on changing their nails and they are the ones that keep it moving.

You must be sociable to maintain your customers and deliver the services in a manner that will make them want to introduce their friends to your shop. Also a good promotion is need, either by placing flex banners at good positions where people can see and start coming to you for business

Hair dressing salons:

This business gives more profit because ladies keep on changing their hairs and they are the ones that keep it moving.

You must be sociable to maintain your customers and deliver the services in a manner that will make them want to introduce their friends to your shop.

Also a good promotion is need, either by placing flyer at some places ladies like visiting like eateries and banners at good positions where people can see and start coming to you for business

8. Transportation (Keke, Mini bus or Taxi):

The transport sector generates much profit and is a good way to make money in the country as people that have no means of mobility have no choice than to take a keke or taxi to where they work, school or when going out to shop

9. Selling of fairly used clothes (OKRIKA):

This is one of the best businesses you can think of when starting a business on low budget, as people tend to patronize fairly used clothes than brand new ones.

Since the business is on low budget, it can be started by getting a space at a market, and then move on to informing people on your new arrivals each time you are back from getting your apparels from your seller.

Betting Shop:

Betting shops gives more profit as guys tend to place bets on every EPL, LA LIGA, PREMIERSHIP matches etc. But you must make your shop accommodating, spacious enough and conducive with Television and music to keep the boys coming back to bet.

Promotions will always help your business boom, so I advise that after putting everything in place, you must always go about promoting the business on either social media, handbills and doing radio adverts.

Printing and distributing your business cards also helps in promoting the business, as people will always come to do business with you and this will go a long way in expanding the business
