I Need Your Advice
« on: August 24, 2009, 03:18 PM »

I work in a bank (one of those that have been cleared by CBN, at least based on the recent happenings).

For weeks now, I have been thinking, reading and trying to do a little research on any little business I could go into. Great profit is not my immediate desire, but establishing a little business that can sustain itself (to a large extent), pay whoever may be assisting me (or working with/for me), and be giving me small profit.

I know that business is a risk, but my risk appetite is not so high yet, so I would want a somewhat low risk business.

The 2 years plan is to leave the banking sector and be doing something on my own, no matter how small.

Please I need direction, I need advice, I need help.

How about a mobile gents hair dressing ( barbers) business? 

Get 2 barbers who are good and all you have to do is have fixed days or sessions in government offices and companies and Give workers a haircut at workplace during lunch breaks or if private companies during their free time betwen work?? Investment required is zero!! You only make contacts at the venues and take your barbers who get 50% of wat they charge and u get the rest!! the barbers use their own equipment. if you buy the clippers etc then negotiate to pay them lower percentage and you take a bit more!!

Five days a week means 10 sessions ( a session is morning or afternoon) and that means you can book 10 venues or companies  a week. In a month it will be about 40 venues. In each session a barber can attend to about 10 people or more and with two you have 20 plus people being sorted!! Rest of the maths is up to you!!

Godmother-

You could start a mini cyber cafe (which doesnt require too much) or even go a bit low and start a business centre which could in turn give birth to your cyber cafe.

If you have a lot of cash to burn, then I'll suggest an event centre hall. With the way people are getting married everyweek, having a building with one or two halls in it will keep you in money always. Just make sure its in a good location and voila! Grin
