Do you live in a major city? In a populated residential area? You can consider going into laundry business. Mind you I have no experience with it, but I've heard quite a bit about its profitability. The way I hear, most important is learning the business first; see if you can apprentice for a few weeks with at another laundry to learn all about the business. Then talk with your wife (you truly need her support for any new venture), extended family, and good friend as per raising start up funds. You will likely need a good washing machine, a reliable pressing iron, and possibly a sizable generator (so our epileptic power don't make you disappoint your customers). And then of course, rent for your new shop.

I'd like to think that ₦300k - ₦500k should see you started - but don't let funds hinder you. Start with whatever you have and push, push, PUSH to succeed.

All the best.
