I have a big shop in front of my house and I will like to know if if 150k is enough to start a gas refill business. I will also like to know the requirements and how to go about it plus how profitable the business is.

also thinking of selling gas cylinder and burners. help a bro please

Jaeljael:

1) First, go and do internship with someone that is skilled in the business.



Since this bro has given you the template let me give you the costing.(you can learn this business in a day, there is no special skill unless you want to repair which is also simple)
I will be giving the prices of all the materials you need. Note there are two locations in which is the best bet to get this materials, Alaba international and Oshodi Arena. ( I learnt they sell in mushin but I've not verified their price). Alaba is the best bet because it's cheaper. Note Oshodi sellers buy from Alaba.
Price in Alaba(A) and Oshodi(O)

50kg cylinder. (A) 27k-29k (O) 30k-32k
Fillers depending on the size (A) it varies on quality 5k is better but u will see for N2500. (O). 7k and 4k respectively.
Electronic scale (toma is better) (A) 26k -29k. Note don't buy those once of 18k
,don't even buy manual scale, customers don't trust it.
It's advisable to start with at least two 50kg bottles (as a dealer you wouldn't be calling them cylinders, they are bottles).
Other minor things go to those market and verify them your self don't trust what you see online (lazy Nigerian youth). I'm running late I would given you the costing of everything from both markets, but go yourself.
As per if 150k is going to be ok? If your shop rent is not part of the 150k it's might (which I doubt).
Note you need to buy the content (gas) from that same 150k hmmmm!
Content is N210-N225 here where am doing my biz, and we sell 280-300 per kg.
So you need about N10500 -11k + to fill a bottle. Profit is between 2500-3k.
It's a very profitable biz if you are serious. (I've tired.) God bless you real big

Safety first.

Consider safety in your business plan, Get fire extinguishers, look at the shop surrounding if there is no one dealing with naked fire.

Don't be lazy to invest in safety if not, you're investing in death.

Also, for posterity sake, don't adjust your meters to gain more profit. You can even start a POS withdrawal and deposit business in the same location. Check online for Opay, you can get free POS machine from them.

I know a family who survive just on this 2-in-1 business.

If you don't mind starting very small.
Let me give you a break down.
1. You will buy a fire extinguisher #6500
2. You will need at least 4 units of 50kg cylinder. each costs an average of #35K. That's #140k
3. A scale for dispensing costs between #13-#20k depending on brand.
4. Two holes and 2 regulators (one for standard cylinders and one for the smaller cylinders). approximately #5k
5. Depending on the state you want to operate from, you will be required to pay a fee to the state Fire service. Here in Oyo state, it is #11k renewable at #2500 per annum. A certificate of operation will be issued to you.
6. You can earmark another #30k for sale of accessories and small cylinders. I bet, there is more profit on the sale of these accessories than the gas itself
7. Please, try to spend like another #30k on Indusrial gas burners; 1 unit of double and 1 unit of single. people rent them on weekends for events. The double one is rented@ #2k while the single is rented @ #1k.
8. You will need a carpenter to make shelf for you in the shop and another stand outside the shop to display accessories. That should not cost more than 20k.

In summary, 150k won't be sufficient. You would need at least 250k as start up capital, if you add up what I've put up there together.
Good luck.

PS: The business is a very lucrative one if you know your way around it. Meanwhile, I do it as a side hustle since I have a regular 9-5 job. I just trained a sales boy that I pay 10k to as salary

You will also need to fill the bottles with gas; that's 11k per 50kg bottle. you don't have to fill all four bottles at once if you don't have enough.
By and large bro, you are looking at 300k

I appreciate your analysis. Wants to major on gas accessories, cylinders inclusive cause refilling is everywhere now. Would 250k be enough? and where to get the best ones in Lagos?? Thanks.

As long as you have a shop, it should be just enough, but safety is very vital, you can't survive all these years and suddenly die from a gas explosion.

Bros, forget say gas filling is everywhere o. You will still make your own money o.
There are so many of us within my neighbourhood; i still make my money wella.
Just understand your kind of customer and their needs. Also be very honest in what you sell to them.

As per 250K, you're good to go.
But I take God beg you, don't just specialize in accessories with that capital. People who come to fill gas in your shop are the ones who will be discussing the problems they are having with their gas burners and cylinders, and that's what you will leverage on to sell accessories to them. If you don't sell gas, they won't have reason to visit your shop let alone discuss their gas problems with you. That's my experience on the field.
