If you are looking for where to set up your startup in the South East, you should consider Nnewi. You may never have thought of a specific town to set up your online business. If you did, Nnewi may not be your first choice. Enugu City, Owerri, Onitsha, Aba, and Umuahia would come first, naturally. On paper.

But what comes naturally to you is not always correct and what is on paper does not always translate greatly in the field. For many who are not aware of the strengths and clouts of Nnewi, this is not a popular opinion. But we are doing this because we have intel that you do not. Join us in this journey and we may make a disciple of Nnewi-as-a-base-for-a-startup out of you.

1. Inexpensive Office And Sheltering Space

If you have ever tried to get an office space in Enugu or Owerri or Awka, you would understand that agony is a close cousin with landlords. But why should you spend so much when you are just starting out. In fact, you do not need an office in the beginning. Which still doesn’t make Enugu and the rest better alternatives.

Nnewi builds spacious flats which are quite affordable. A good one-room self-contained in Owerri or Enugu would cost you at least 200 thousand naira. With half this price you can land a similar space in Nnewi.

Nnewi has all the pecks of a big city without the cutthroat expenses and the maddening traffic that come with big cities.

2. Nnewi is centrally placed in the Southeast

They call Enugu the capital of the East and Onitsha the gateway to the East but the irony is in the injustice of not mentioning Nnewi which is more centrally placed. Mention all the big towns in the South East and their proximity to Nnewi would tell you all you need to know.

Umuahia, Awka, Onitsha, Aba, Enugu, Owerri, Asaba are some of the biggest names in the region. Nnewi is 103 KM  from Umuahia, 40 KM from Awka, 20KM from Onitsha, 123 KM from Enugu, 158 KM from Aba, 70 KM from Owerri, and if you must come by air, it is 40 KM from Asaba and 46 KM from Anambra State International Airport.

If you leave after breakfast you would reach Nnewi for a noon meeting from any part of the region...
