what kind of business can one start wit zero capital or with little capital.

If you lack financial capital, you must capitalise on your intellectual capital. What specific skills do you have?

Your massage looks some how. What is your skill as seun said. If you have a good skill with good creative idea you can make it.

i can do almost anything i set my mind on, i am good with computers, a wonderfull actor, rapper/lyricist, i am creative with adverts too and movie stories, poems,soccer, articles and a lot of other things.most of what i can do need capital to start, i am thinking of the catfish biz, i could raise funds to get d fishes and stuff but i do not hav enough to get a land or a place to put d funds.

starting a business does not really deals with capital but don't get me wrong that is one of the factors, It deals with what u know you are best in doing and it also really deals with your intellectual skills and ability to sustain the business in a very good location.

,there are a lot of things you can do,depending on wat skills you have,for me i tink you sud do some thing you have a flare for, and enjoy doing,that way when thing s get though you hang in there cause you really enjoy wat're doing,the opportunities are limitless.jst av a business plan,a good one little cash,and big ideals.

There are still better ways, build a standard stadium and import Kaka, Dinho, Essien, Drogba, Henry, and C ronaldo to come and play in our cherished local league.

Tha billions you will rake in from ticket sales will numb your mind !

buying and selling

I think ur question is irrelevant in this case. As it will still come back to you. As it all depends on wat u can do, not mainly wat u enjoy doing (As wat u enjoy doing might not be wat ur environment require or want at the time). Secondly wat does pple in ur environment require or need (At that point u are taking a realistic view). Thirdly how much do u need (for u must know wat a good starndard for ur businnes should be like. Even though you might not have all the money to put it up to this starndard initially, it will give u a view of wat u should be working towards). Fourtly how much do u have (Then u either start considering how u can get the balance - which might not be very easy -  or make ur budget according to wat u have). Immediately u have carried out this rigourous works u would surely know wat business to do with little capital. And aftre tht ur next question which will come back to u still is how to start. (In terms of location, working hours, discipline and customer relations). Take ur own bull by the horn man.

hoodboi ur tallent too much u say u fit do dis and dat are u sure no be say u wan begin beg 4 moni? if no be so then who no no say u fit start to fry akara wit small moni. Later u fit expand the buisness like that naija man in Australia wey NTA show us sometimes ago

@opuro, thumbs up boi -- or maybe, man.

What really interest me in ladies is that, they are always interested in buying and selling.
This is advance stuff not buying and selling,
Buy three cups of garri for 120 naira and sell each cup for 50 naira, interest of 30 naira - tax-stress,

For you to start your business with little capital, you need to have a good understanding of what working capital is.

Y dnt u think of something creative. like combining your al skills. i'm sure it wud b unique in setting you off

why dont you try to create a web page or get someone to do one for you, then you start something close to naira land and give seun a run for his money since you have so much skills i guess you would have so much up there at least to spark all the necessary conversations there
better still, start a nairaland fan club on the internet -something close to hi5 and with a lot of benefits at least football clubs too have unofficial websites and read all you can while you can to broaden your scope

In my own opinion, I think you cn strt mrketing things with little cpital. For example with as little as N10,000 you can start marketing some of our products

1. Cold Water liquid strch 2. Fruit Juice.

If you feel you re interested, you will be briefed on our mrketing model and you will discover the gold mine.

Just N10,000 you have started on your own nd potential is there there that you will make at least 50% profit.

Good luck.
