Fellow Nairalanders,

Please i need your advice on this. I am a young, fresh undergraduate and i want to start a business, I want to start buying clothes, jewelries, Accessories, Bags, Beauty (make ups) ,Dresses, Intimates,Scents, Shoes, Suits & Seperates and Tops from Dubai to sell in Nigeria. How do i go about it? What's the least start up capital. I have a friend who is currently helpingme build a website for my products. I need to know how much a return ticket to Dubai will cost and the least amount of money i can start with at least. I will appreciate it if there's anybody into the same business you can link me with.

Thanking you in advance for your swift response

Thinking that Xmas sales would allow larger purchase of goods, my aunt went to Dubai for Xmas and she came back saying things are quite expensive there. Infact she didnt buy anything for business.
I would recommend that you go to China because I have peeps who have stores filled with China products and are doing fine. Dont get me wrong: China products might be authentic, it depends on what u want. There may be stores in Dubai where China products are sold and ofcourse they would be cheap. So those stores should provide the clothes u wanna buy as an undergraduate. Know ur plans, plan ur business carefully.

The ticket+visa fee is about 150K(depending on the airline). So add it to your initial capital.

Good idea. Support you. When you sell them online, don't forget to inform of us.

Initial capital to start budget between 800k to 1 mil. that includes flight, hotel, transport, feeding and ticket. hope that helps
but if i am to advise u from experience don't start travelling to Dubai now, it is risky, buy goods in Nigeria Here and resale to test your market before travelling there are good wholesalers here who will give u awesome prices.
