There is clearly nothing more important than having access to periodic income. We need money and a regular flow of it to make purchases which includes basic needs, plan for family expenses, budgeting, pay bills, handle emergencies, and so much more.
How ever, in poor countries like Nigeria where even the government delay salaries for months, this access to periodic income is a huge problem and accounts for the general feeling of despair, poor economic activities, high crime, and other negative effects.

Nigeria is a blessed country full of lots of opportunity, yet our people wallow in poverty.
One of the greatest problems faced by Nigerian Citizens is Lack of steady period income. The unemployment rate is so high, which has led to citizens unrest, increase in crime rate and all this has affected the image of this great great Nation. Its high time we come together as one and build a great Nation, achieve our heart desires and live in peace.

I am calling on business minded Nigerians, with focus, target driven and goal oriented, let's come together in one accord and form a multi national equipment leasing company.

Nigeria being a developing country requires massive infrastructural development in term of road, earth dam, parks, canal channelization and drain. Lagos and other state are trying to improve its capacity for service delivery to its populace, where new construction sites are springing up daily; these sites engage professional leasing company to execute the strategic plans in land preparation such as bush clearing, levelling, excavating, construction works and sand filling.

Earth moving equipments such as Bulldozer, Excavator, Pay-loader, Roller, Grader and Low-bed (carrier) are used daily at enormous cost associated with the industry for this project. Specialised company such as Julius Berger, PW, OGORMA and Hi-tech are fully engaged and overstretched interms of equipment capacity. They now also sublet contract to equipment vendor to execute on their behalf and pay upfront.

In this business your products and services you always sell is your integrity as a person and your equipment performance within the period of usage. The widely used brand is caterpillar because of its durability, strength and knowledgeable of the equipment by the technician.

A key parameter in this business is for your staff to be conscious of safety at all time and use the equipment for its original purpose.

Over the year private and public have engaged service of non professional to handle equipment rental without technical expert to run and maintain the business. But a technical person with fore-knowledge of the business and large data base of clients and agents can start with only one equipment and move the company to enviable position with proper accounting best management practice.

THE MARKET

The equipment leasing / rentals have annual turnover of over #4Billion in operational capacity either procurement/rentals. It’s a big market awaiting major player to step in and advantage of the incentives that come with the business. The only major players in the business are: TRI-STAR equipment rentals, Samchase equipment, PTS equipment, OGORMA and Badewa group. The market is so large that requires newcomers’ every day. A key advantage is that all these companies cannot meet the needs of all the clients.

Good equipment will achieve result in no time while boosting the image of the company. Equipments such as Bulldozer, Excavator and Pay-loader can either be indirect or direct lease to a company or place in daily rental of #75,000, #80,000 and #55,000 respectively with a projected forecast of 15/18days when starting business operation and maximum of 22/24days per month at peak period.

Our strength lies in our ability of having foreknowledge of the business, knowing the agents and cartel that control the business industry with prompt customer satisfaction, good maintenance plan in place, we will be the company sort after in our chosen field. The client engages the equipment for 8hrs/day for various contracts i.e. daily, weekly or monthly. This contract must be accompanied with a contract agreement duly signed by both parties and payment made upfront in cash or open cheque.

MARKET STRATEGY AND SALES

Market strategy adopted in this business of leasing/rental is commission base system where agents is been paid 5% commission on whatever contract signed; by doing this we will built a network of customer around us and break into the cartel that control the business with maximum patronage on booking.

Maintenance is also a key factor in equipment leasing; if your equipment has less downtime the client cartel will always recommend the equipment to other. Proper maintenance prolongs equipment life span (preventive/plan maintenance rather than breakdown); the equipment requires servicing after running 180-200 hrs of operational time.

The operator must daily greasy all moveable part of the equipment. It’s strictly recommended that after using the equipment for a period of 3year should be put on sale to cut down maintenance cost and downtime.

The staff professional conduct and safety precaution during operational hours go a long way in customer satisfaction and help to maintain good relationship.
the returns you get from equipment leasing or renting depends on the type of the machine you buy.

for example at worst scenario per daily work are:
N

bulldozer (D6h or r LGP) per day 70,000
Excavator (320,315,312) , 70,000
payloader (950,966 c) ,, 55,000
Grader (12c, 14b) ,, 55,000
swampbugy (320,325) ,, 250,000


all these equipments above can work throughout the year with little less turnover during raining season.
I may be right or wrong but you can find out yourself.

Another area to also invest in is leasing of dredgers.

It is widely agreed that one of the most basic needs of man is shelter and in time past man has experienced with different material in order to meet with his housing needs. In modern day history, the use of cement along with sand and gravel as come to be accepted as one of the best construction raw material because they provide durability, firmness and can withstand harsh weather conditions though other materials like steel and glass are also used.

The ever increasing deficit in housing supply in Nigeria which is estimated at over sixteen million {16,000,000} units and the need for the construction of other important infrastructure if the country is to meet up with the vision 20:2020 project of becoming amongst the top 20 economies in the world by 2020 continues to drive the need to sand, an essential construction raw material and the need for the use of modern equipment in the production of sand, in order to meet with demands.

Sand is a naturally occurring granular material composed of finely divided rock and mineral particles. The composition of sand is highly variable, depending on the local rock sources and conditions, but the most common constituent of sand in inland continental settings and non-tropical coastal settings is silica (silicon dioxide, or SiO2), usually in the form of quartz.

Though there are no reliable figures on the annual production in Nigeria, it is generally agreed that there has been an increased in production in order to meet up with increasing demands .In Nigeria and mostly in the oil and gas industry where they are used to make waterways more navigatable, Dredgers are required in commercial sand production.

Dredging is an excavation activity or operation usually carried out at least partly underwater, in shallow seas or fresh water areas with the purpose of gathering up bottom sediments and disposing of them at a different location. This technique is often used to keep waterways navigable.

It is also used as a way to replenish sand on some public beaches, where too much sand has been lost because of coastal erosion. Dredging is also used as a technique for fishing for certain species of edible clams and crabs, see fishing dredge.

Dredging activities produces lots of sand which are required in construction and other important activities. A dredge is a device for scraping or sucking the seabed, used for dredging. A dredger is a ship or boat equipped with a dredge.

Though dredging and sand production can create lots of wealth for the operator, it creates disturbance in aquatic ecosystems, often with adverse impacts and at such various states government in Nigeria are coming up with regulations and laws to protect the environment. The investor requires being up to date with the current regulations in the industry.

A fully equipped dredger can excavate approximately 300 cubic yards of commercial grade sand per hour, utilizing 8’ x 10’ dredge pump. The Dredger uses a hydraulic, submersible 12" radial fan pump mounted at the end of the boom behind a shrouded, horizontal cutterhead. The pump is rated at 3,500-gpm slurry with a maximum T.D.H. (slurry s.g. 1.25) @ 881 rmp w/2,000 feet discharge length.

Some of the areas where opportunities exist in dredging in Nigeria include

 Oil and Gas
 Construction
 Enviroment
 Transportation

Nigerian government spent over N70billion on dredging jobs in 2012. And 90% of the contractos don't have dredgers, hence there is need to hire. A new dredger costs between N40million to N150million and above depending on the dredging capacity.

The oppurtunitties in equipment leasing industry is massive despite the challenge. Due to large capital involve, a lot of people can't venture into the industry.
That is why we have come up with this wonderful idea of public partnership.
All partners are to invest a fixed sum of N150,000, this is fixed so that profit sharing will be done equaly. No money will be handed over to any individual, as we are working with the bank and professional lawyers who will ensure that investors money are safe and is used for its purpose. A General meeting shall be held in Lagos (date not yet fixed), for all investors to meet in person, bring up more proffessional ideas on how to move forward. You state of residence does not matter. Its time we stop seeking for paid jobs and be employers of labour.
Interested investors can drop their email for further briefing of email me on: soneztrading07@gmail.com or call 08155241178.
Please this is for serious minded business men and women, not for jokers.

God bless Nigeria, Merry Christmas and happy prosperous New Year in advance
