@Somebody & othe rpotwential investors,
Nice thread and I am really impressed with people's contributions so far.

Anyways, I have an enticing proposal that will not only ensure a steady flow of income but also provide employment opportunities. The proposal is on Laundry/drycleaning and Car wash/car care biz with some other 'plus'. Its a multi-faceted biz and I implore any willing investor to contact me on 08062350129 or email via zskimprexions@gmail.com.

@Somebody, I seriously look forward to doing biz with you.

somebody: How about a nairaland version of Dragon's Den? For those who don't know/watch it - Dragon's Den is a reality TV show which features entrepreneurs pitching their ideas to potential investors for an equity investment. On this thread, entrepreneurs could pitch their ideas to Dragon's who could potentially finance their business. Personally, I am happy to fund good business ideas BUT with a maximum cap which I will not disclose. Also happy to co-invest if my maximum investment is reached. My interest lies in this because I am not a business people and would rather see my money go to work as opposed to leaving it in the bank. Please note the due diligence will be carried out and legal documents will be need to be signed before any investments are made.

Personally, I am NOT interested in ideas like forex and animal farming, would like to hear more original ideas. Just give a vague overview so the idea is not copied and discussions can be taken offline after signing a non disclosure agreement which protects the entrepreneur.

So the thread is open to entrepeneurs and potential investors grin - lets hear from you.
Nice thread! Following...if I see a good proposal, I might also invest!
If they state what you need.
With company's profile and proposal to include amount needed, when and how they plan to payback plus % return on investment (financials). If I see good proposal that promises upto 100% annual return on investment, I will go for it!

hottprince: I've decided to add some more cash to the one on the table, at the range of 20 makin it 120.
Pls investors should also add d amount the r willing to invest.

@elvis btw should we continue d discussion here or via email?

@mcleo its not that no one read ur post bu speaking for myself, I really think d fashion market is a highly competitive n congested market already, diving into it is not something I'll go for. I know its lucrative but its not my thing.

Thanks for the observation, but I believe you got it wrong. The market is not congested, not at all. There is room for every business competitor. Ever wondered why there are endless boutiques all over Nigeria? There are over 160 million Nigerians, but there are less than 2million boutiques or fashion stores all across the country. That tells you something! tHERE IS ROOM FOR EVERYONE. Clothing is as essential to man as food and shelter. The rich wear clothes, so does the poor. I may just look elsewhere. Thanks for the thoughtful words though! Thanks

Thanks Leo for your contribution but I am also skeptical about the clothing market. I have friends in that market - big names even and I know it is as it seems for them. But I wish you goodluck with your expansion plans.

Top Business ideas for Nigerians(Virgin Idea)

Hi Guys

I have some few business idea you can develop freely if you have the capacity.I will be glad if investors show interest in this idea and entrepreneurs take it up.I am a free thinker,a problem finder and a solution hunter.I think about problems and try to find instant solutions to this problem.But my current situation makes it impossible for me to progress with my idea so i am letting it out to Nigerians and hopefully get referenced after the idea is developed.

Here are a few ideas and if you need more.feel free to consult me and when i have the time i will analyse and respond.

University graduate database

Database of graduate and their degree,thesis and competence reviewed posted by school authority and reviewed by lecturers with competent feedback and recommendations.

Its an E-curriculum vitae for potential employers searching for the best graduating students from university.


How it works.

Graduates post their credentials online which is viewed by every potential employer freely

Student credential verification:
Student pay a fee to have their documents verified and the site admin begin verification process by requesting additional documentation from the graduate.after the graduate upload his documentation,documents are verified with the university and the students information is sent to the lecturers who took their course for review and feedback which is privately provided and only potential employee can view them after a subscription fee.

Potential employers:
Potential employers can view free student credentials for free. In order for them to view verified certificates and browse lecturer feedback. They have to pay a fee for each student.


Searching for graduate:
The search will be able to highlight student credentials based on performance scaling,grades,specific job requirement grade,lecturer review and random lecturer review.


Random lecturer review:
To cover up potential loopholes in the review process, a random lecturer review will be conducted on each verified student credentials after the specific university departmental review.this will help improve transparency in the review feedback process making sure students dont manipulate the lecturer review process.

Note:This random lecturers can be rewarded by a recharge card



Most viewed /reviewed graduate search:
the search can show most reviewed and viewed graduate with rating.


Employer Subscription:
Employers pay a fee to view verified documents.verified document has a price tag.lecturers feedback and random feedback has a price tag which are pricedseperately.

The subscription is priced based on the specialization.ie. if the employer is an oil firm, he pays 5000, and if its banking or telecom,it pays 3000 and 2000 respectively.


The search engine help the employer get the best graduate with ease. And he pays to view the student profile and contact them.

communication:
Students are sent a text or email to notify them about the employers reviewed stages. By this, the student is aware of what to expect.

This idea will help solve recruitment stress faced by most employers by speeding up recruitment process.employers are guaranteed the best graduates with ease.

Graduate do not have to fill in and send application every time their is a new opening thereby saving time and making it easier for employees.

Just imagine all companies and business organization using this website for their recruitment.its lots of millions bro

I don't like biz with long thing. I prefer doing biz that give returns as fast as possible with the lowest risk.

As you all know, there are so many construction works going on in the country now and I am involved in some of them at the moment and I tell you, its the way to for in investing with lowest risk cos you see what you are doing liveeeeee.

If I can get about 10 - 20 people to come together and procure like 2 or 3 trucks, we will be getting good weekly returns.

There is no way on earth www.businessdens.com will be 'home to investors'. I have visited the site several times. Please spill your business here.

Brilliant idea. I once nurtured such an idea, just mine has a little alteration here and there. Its quite tasking and cash gulping, considering the amount of time that would be taken on the part of the developer to get the site up. I hope you find someone with interest soon.
