Sitting down is not the issue but is there a need for the product or service you have to offer. You should fill a need and not just start a business for the sake of it.

He sounds like a young chap that's been giving an opportunity. I highly doubt he has honed in on any of his skills. That's probably why he's scouting for advice.

He should sublet the shop to someone who needs it, and pocket the change. Shikena.

Good one. But what will his actual profit margin be when he collects rent and then has to also pay the owner of the shop too.

Well OP, keep your day job and try subletting. Wahala go dey sha the month the worker no pay.

Hello pay4real,
You already have businesses on your hands.Search for those who need the services you can offer and satisfy them.Sit down, plan and organize a serious campaign on these services that you can offer and you you have cash streaming in daily. Common, shine your eyes and do something.

He has it for a year for free. He can chop the year's rent, and then try to negotiate a percentage on the next year's rent for the actual owner. Effectively becoming the owner's agent or caretaker.

Good point. Good point.

@OP: if you don't have the capital, try subletting. Make some money, have savings, and gather yourself together.
Re: Your Honest Advice Is Needed! by payne4real(m): 2:06pm On Aug 14, 2012

Well . . . I would think, smart dude. But then again, as a Nigerian, I would prolly beef you and kick myself, cos you did what I should have done in the first place.
You all see why handouts are killing the country grin
Re: Your Honest Advice Is Needed! by oladipo500: 2:13pm On Aug 14, 2012
I wonder why you are seeking for advice when you can simply commence school lessons now that sch is on break this can even grow into a school soon.
But if you are interested in making $40/day as I do send your email to 08083875144.
Good luck.
Re: Your Honest Advice Is Needed! by payne4real(m): 2:13pm On Aug 14, 2012
Good! I can't do that to the man. Any other option!

Unless you have goods to sell, what do you need a store for? All your bulk sms worreva, you don't need a storefront for that, at least not a physical one.
And you need to engage your benefactor. If all you need is capital, why wouldn't he let you sublet his property? He's willing to let you have it for free, isn't he?

You go to him and tell him that is what you want to do, i.e. lease out the shop for a year, and you get a commission of the rents. You can pitch to him that you would manage the property for him as a caretaker. The idea is for you to raise money so you can invest in some other business, and not just to leech off his property. He will likely say no (due to Nigerian mentality), but he might just say yes.

operate a business center, sell recharge cards and if u have a freezer at home, take it to the shop and sell stuffs like bottled water, can drinks and chilled bags of purewater for hawkers to buy in bulk from u.
