Good-day my people, please do any body knows the estimate of setting up a mini cyber cafe?
The estimate should include which hotspot to use or MIFI please, your humble sujection is highly neede an welcome. God bless you an merry xmas and a prosperous NEW YEAR.

I will like to be of help if you can furnish me with the following info;
1. Number of systems you intend to start with
2. Location (to know which network(s)'s coverage area it falls within) otherwise VSAT


Better still, I can be contacted at oazyz@yahoo.com

Like ten system and it will be located in Benin city.

I'm a young entrepreneur, but i'm smart.
I'm into so many deals but Internet cafe is my primary biz, in-fact i started with Love World Cafe. If you insist on starting with a whole ten systems then you are planing an instant downfall.

As a biz man its not bad to have great plans for your Biz but weather you like it or not you'll have to start a small biz, this is not because u mightn't be having the money but its a strategy, your costumers wont get to know you in a week.

the reason you're starting with small amount of systems is this; the power you'll use in powering your systems, the bandwidth you'll be using(i.e internet Speed).

If you truly have to open a cafe then have half of the money going into the cafe of at least 1 quater or a sponsor cos when you start so many thing you never budgeted for will arise. and dont trust any body online cos right now people would like to convince you to buy very cheap systems but be careful. you can hook up with me on FB @ http://www.facebook.com/dhahunk?ref=tn_tnmn

Cyber cafe can never be extinct, it depend  on the location of your cafe and your managerial ability.

Location, my brother is what you ought to consider first before embarking on any business.

Have been in the cafe biz for yrs. From my experience cafe is seriously seriously going into extinction. As much as location really matters. Most cafes are closing shop. Anyways if u still want to give it a trial. Try Ipnx. They seems to be reliable. Then start with not more than 8 computers. With that you can power ur cafe with 6HP generator. That will minimises ur fuel usage.
I wish you good luck. But do your homework well. cafe is not worth it again. Home internet is getting cheaper.

Cheers

Alright, if cafe is getting into extinction, which other good business can one invest into? I will be rounding my NYSC service next year February and i thought with the money i have on ground, i should set up a cyber cafe but people are saying is no longer lucrative. So, which business can one invest into of capital of one million or below. Any subjection, obsevation, correction an contribution is highly welcome.

I hope you have done your due diligence? Other wise, I will advice that you only the right information from the right people. There loads of other cheap businesses that you can start today and is capable of yielding high returns.
Think,

Business like? Please help me out, God bless you all.

the business is still payin sha, its good for a start up people. at least u will not be idle doing nothing.

While cafes may be dying, business centres and print shops seem to be thriving.

You need almost the same for both. The difference is just the isp, which is a major cash bleeder cos u need to pay a fortune for very fast link to attract clients who may not spend enough for you to recoup your investment.

Look for a decent link (speed + cost) and use just enough systems it can carry (4 systems on a 4k/mth link?)

use the remaining resources for document processing: typing, scanning, printing, laminating, pre-press, etc.

Sell stationery, computer accessories and other office supplies.

Throw in training or gaming if you still have space.
