Hello does anyone have any idea about how one can get into LPG retail distribution business. I mean selling cooking gas.
I have a hunch that there is a big gap in the market. Converting those that use kerosine to gas and also offering delivery services might be a good idea.
Does anyone has a working idea of how this buiness operate? Thanks.

There's a great business opportunity but the government is sure to "protect" this business opportunity from those who don't have friends in high places.

with money you can make friends in high places
With good capital and serious business plan you can make friends in specific industry so you bypass the politics hopefully

With EFCC on the prowl and Mike Adenuga on the run, one should be careful about using one's money to make friends in high places. Otherwise, one could be arrested and forgotten behind bars.

I believe this is is a good idea, however you need to conduct your own research to find out if enough people will buy gas instead of kerosine.
The market is potentially huge but old habits die hard, Nigerians are accustomed to using kerosine, therefore it may take a while to persuade them that using gas is safe. Safety is a major concern for most people.

there is a huge market o, did u know that nigeria has by far the lowest per capita usage of LPG in the west african sub region? did u know that gas flaring will be stopped in nigeria next year? and that the oil companies are trying to figure out what to do with the enormous quantity of gas that will be made available from next year? there's big biz about to start in LPG very soon. i'm trying to figure out a way to catch in on it. you should too

Gas is more economical than Kerosine, and we now have gas cookers that are almost as cheap as kerosine stoves. Tha should be enough o convince them. Isn't it ironic that poor people use more expensive stoves?

Hello,
Its not that Iwant to start a mega company, I just want to set up maybe 2 or 3 outlets selling gas and also educate people that gas is cheaper than Kerosene .Maybe awareness campaigns and also help to finance the cost of the empty Cylinder and low cost gas cookers.And maybe offer home delivery on Motobikes(OKADA) for a flat fee.Basically add a few innovations to an old type of buiness.
Need to know the workings of the Buiness? where do they refill? how much e.tc.
