SaintUlot:Every business has it challenges. Ask the Igbos. It's all about determination. Am into transport business currently and I know how much am getting on daily bases, to think that I didn't even have anything close to 10 million when I started. I started with one Toyota Sienna Mini Bus. So I know what am saying. My next business venture now is fast food restaurants. 3 Likes 1 Share |

PhilipReigns: There is no way a bus that was purchased for 5million to deliver 30K everyday will double the capital in just 1 year if you want to be realistic. There is no way the bus will deliver 30K every single day of the year! The bus will break down and need servicing from time to time There are low business periods when passengers will be few and this will affect revenue 3 Likes |

SavageResponse:2 buses I said, not one. Of course you will service it, as for low passengers at certain moments affecting revenue, did I mention there re also times ur vehicle are booked/chartered for occasion. I didn't even add that revenue to it monthly earnings, that can make up for the moments when passengers will be few. I only did an average summary of income which is very possible if you're determined enough. There are Saturdays my Sienna was booked for to and fro movement of some wedding guests thru a certain location for 70k full-day booking. I didn't even add that to the total earnings, I see it as bonuses that should be overlooked. A Toyota hiace bus can convey more guests to wedding or burial ceremonies than a seinna and more guests means more money. You can get an average of 5 different trips like that in a month which is even less stressful than d usual pick and drop of passengers during normal working days because you will be fed and well taken care of thru out the lasting hours of the occasion with food and drinks. If I have more money in future I will definitely go into full time transport business like registering a transport company like God is Good motors, Young shall grow etc these are end time billionaires that don't go about blowing Thier trumpet like dangote. So my friend, my analysis is very much in line with reality. a vehicle of 5 million naira should still be at it Very best condition, all the best! Money is not easy to come by, you must pursue it. Hardwork pays, am a living testimony. 6 Likes 2 Shares |

PhilipReigns: This your analysis shows you are really not into the Transportation business as you claimed. First let me ask you one major question? What's your location? Are you into Inter State transportation? Do you employed the service of a driver for daily deliver? If you really want to flush your hard earned money down the drain by a Car/bus and give it to a driver to deliver for you. I am 70% sure it will end in regret. 5 Likes |

OKB35:Daily delivery not deliver*, you also didn't go through my previous post before you mentioned me. while I'm tired of talking, I will briefly provide answers to your questions. No more details cos I don't see the need explaining things to anybody any further. Question 1: Lagos Question 2: Yes Question 3: I started first with a single vehicle (Sienna) , drove it myself, then bought another one within a space of 6 months, gave out d former on hire purchase to an elderly man while I retain d new one. From one to two, two to three, three to four. You give them out on hire our purchase, weekly delivery. That way they protect the vehicle knowing it's going to belong to them upon completion of the agreed amount. 10 Likes 1 Share |

PhilipReigns: Still all your analysis are only bases on Paper. From One to Two, Two to Three, Three, Four.. So easy. You bought your second car six month after, C'mon guy... How much are you really making everyday? You must be commuting between Lagos - Ibadan according to your analysis. How many trip do you do per day for for you to be able to buy your second car within Six Month . Transportation business is not as lucrative as you are painting it. Car Hire purchase is another Line of business don't mix it Transport Business. 1 Like 1 Share |

PhilipReigns: Just negodu the businesses you are suggesting and you are the one who believes with 10 million, you will never be poor again? Such simplistic analysis. Why should anyone leave the eatery they are already patronising for yours? How are you going to get premium space? Or you think landing a restaurant in any old place in a student environment would give you returns? And only foolish people go into business in order to get yes sir/yes ma. It is also obvious you have not done transport business before. Or indeed any business (hence your idealistic analysis). For all intending entrepreneurs, successful businesses are not based on how much money you have per se or business ideas you see on the internet. Successful businesses are based on exploiting GAPS in the market. A need or want in the market. A market that's not being served WELL ENOUGH. A loophole that existing businesses are not exploiting. A more efficient business process for certain things. A new product others don't have. Not use 10 million and open a restaurant, hoping on vibes and Insha Allah in order to succeed. 15 Likes |

einsteine:Just hear yourself talk A loophole that existing business are not exploiting? Really? so tell me which business thereof that you're going to be the sole originator in a market environment. Any business you intend to open in a particular environment that's unfamiliar in that location probably have no market, hence the reason people aren't exploiting it. You sound Very amateur and pessimistic when it comes to business and that's the first step to failure in it hence the reason we have so many regrets here. I'm telling you without missing words that food business is a sure ticket to high returns, ignoring the stress that comes with it... it's a business that blossom even if 15 restaurants re located on the same location let alone when it's sited in a student environment. so there's a legislative law restricting certain customers to a particular shop without having to exploit other new ones around, u re obviously not a businessman. Laziness is not an excuse in business. how do u think the Igbos survive in business where 20 igbo men and women will be selling the same items on the same Spot? 1 Like |

OKB35:15k daily, after subtracting fuel and agbero money. No police settlements cos I load at d park, all my papers are complete. Bought my sienna direct tuks (2004 model, second generation Sienna) not some Nigerian used car. So no serious issues besides normal oil change, tyre and other minor things u change in vehicles. Kola (Alagbado) to ibadan @2500 per passenger. 7 seaters Sienna(3 people at d back, 3 at d middle,1 at d front) plus driver(myself) that's 8 passengers total. ₦2500 *7 =₦17500 (*2) multiply that by returning trip, that's 35k total. When I subtract fuel and agbero,food, I still have 15k left to go home with. My wife is a goverment worker, so am able to save 10k daily from it in all things being equal. I go to work everyday, have no Reason to be idling away at home. On Saturdays I get bookings/charter sometimes two families I have to choose one. 70k full day, that covers my Saturday and Sundays earnings, even more than but let's just leave it like that. service my car every 3rd of each month from miscellaneous. ₦6500 for my engine's oil, power steering oil ₦3500(Not everymonth) Let's do our calculations on my compulsory 10k daily savings only, while ignoring d 5k on top. 10*30 =300k a month. 300*6months= 1.8million (An amount for another very clean Nigerian used sienna) 7 Likes |
