P.S: Use your weekends or spare time to learn the basics operations. Never be a total novice in any business you own.

Barbing: smaller capital, maintainance and running cost. A barber may never use more than 4liters of fuel in their small tiger generator even on a heavy business day but Laundry needs very big generator that will consume more than 1liter per hour in order to use iron and washing machine which can also need servicing or buying new one. Extra risk of colour stain or burning customer cloths. You must buy new one.

The operator pays for fuel and equipment maintainance and pays you 3k-5k weekly some areas go as high as 8k-10k. He is paying you for leasing your shop and equipment for his business. You don't expect any other gain even if he makes 1million a day.

Location street junction or centre of neighbourhood where people and their kids can move around at night or close to hostels or public yards with large population.

Barber's salon is better and less stressful.

He is not the one managing it oga!

It is just got the barber to cut some hair and then pocket the money grin

He will sweep everywhere clean and when you ask how far: he will say market no dey.

Any business where you are not there, you have opened office for your employees to chop.

Both options are good but for a salon, if you're not going be the barber , then you should go for laundry. The problem with salon is when you change barber, you start all over again with customers building.

Nairalanders,

Pls, I want to invest N250k into a barbing saloon. That's what is on my mind for now. But some other person suggested drycleaning business.

I work with a private firm & earn N75k monthly. I won't be the one to manage the business if I open any. I would get someone to manage it for me.

Please, I need advice.

Or any other suggestion apart from the two mentioned above.

Location: south east, Abia to be precised.

Thanks

Go for laundry, employ capable hands and pay them on percentage not on salary. At first, u will not make much but as your customers increase u will find it very profitable.

Everybody will be working to increase their percentage while u make the gain.

Barbing.

Laundry has inherent risks that can close the biz...like spoiling someone's clothes or getting it lost.

Barbing salon. 95% of men cut their hair. Only those who can afford a dry cleaner use their services.

So you have sense like this?

Depends on your location and skill, barbing is something everyone needs, but dry cleaning can equally be good business in the right location, dry cleaning needs a location where you have people who are busy and needs your services, but barbing just needs where people are. Example babing will sell more in a school environment whereas dry cleaning will be a good business in a working class environment, and are you skilled in any of the two or are you going to be employing people?

A good business plan is what you need. It is the fundamental, rudimentary and foundation for a start up buinsess without which is like a skyscraper without a deep foundation. If you want me to help with that, then whatsapp me on 08054145713. A good business plan takes care of all you need to start and finish your business set up. Thanks

Talking from experience,I suggest you go for laundry. The biz is being neglected by many but there's awhole lot of money in it,once you are consistent n committed to what you are doing,n with laundry u can keep record of the daily happening up to a higher extent... I have run both but I finally settled for laundry n its really paying off. Starting a soccer betting enterprise(bet9ja,naijabet etc) is another hidden money making venture if u stay in a populated environment. Goodluck!!!

Funny people, someone that doesn't even have money, for fundamental things, you want him to remove from the little and give you do you can copy and paste. Who ever does a location specific feasibility study in Nigeria?

Don't forget to get your spelling right eventually when you go for the former business. It's really spelt " Salon", while Saloon is a brand of car.

It doesn't always have to work like DAT bro. e.g IPhones don't need 95% percent of men or women to get it product, yet it is one of the most successful phone manufacturer. same for gold-dealer, The questions is are your target audience ready to provide enough sustainance, if yes then you will be fine. Both business are good, location and people matter and many other factors too e.g electricity.
