Ok. I have a degree in optometry and I have worked with about seven eye clinics in Lagos and have run two of these clinics from scratch. Making money from an eye clinic depends on two things majorly. The people (age and population)and the location (proximity and convinience in relation to the people). The location I have in mind currently satisfies this. With a current population of about 500,000, most of which are advanced age-wise.. this is important because the older we get the more our vision detiorates. and there is no current eye clinic in the location for at least 11km, it’s the perfect location for a clinic, it’ll save the people time and money and above all it’ll be convinient for the residents.
I have worked for one of the best clinics in Lagos, and was the lead optometrist in charge of treating patients, the skill cannot be questioned. I have worked with more than 5 different ophthalmologist and I have contacts with few of them for Surgical purposes.
In any business, people equals money. Various marketing strategies exists to draw in a lot of people from regular weekly screenings to one on one marketing.
I understand the business very well.. it’s the one business I excel at and have been doing for the longest of time.
Is the business real? Well I have been working as an optometrist for a pretty long time so I know what works and how it work in that light the possibilities of making a good amount of money from it is very real. If you mean if the business is grounded, has a location and is already established, well the answer would be no. I wouldn’t be here typing this long message if it was. The good thing about eye clinics is when it starts its self sufficient under a year and grows steadily as time moves. The only danger to an eye clinic is another eye clinic in close proximity. Saturation reduces the amount of organic clients and that’s bad for business.

You say you have run two eye clinics from scratch...Why did you leave?

What are you doing currently?

Which state is the location you have in mind for the clinic (You don't have to disclose the name of the town)reside in t

Do you currently reside in this town?

Do you have the competence and skill to perform minor surgeries assuming the senior ophthalmologists are not available?

You said the initial capital you need is N828,000. How much are you ready to contribute as your share of equity to start up the business?

What I have doesn’t satisfy your all your requirements though but you I’m absolutely sure about the ROI. The business is an eye clinic in a Suburban location, currently untouched by any. If this interests you, I could elaborate more.

You don't necessarily have to meet all the conditions 100%.

Just prove to me that the business is real and you understand it and also have the skills, experience and knowledge to run it successfully in order to grow it and make money

So you want to open a business and you know nothing of how to get started, well NO WORRIES.
You do not need to find a lawyer, a chartered Accountant or an agent. All you need is an ATM Master Card and an internet connection. The Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) now has an on line portal that makes life easy for all potential entrepreneurs and Businessmen in Nigeria.

To register A company the first step is to

STEP 1: Search for availability of Name - Visit http://services.cac.gov.ng/ sign up as a new customer and provide all necessary details accurately. Once you are properly signed in click on 'Name availability Search' type in two names that are creative and uncommon as your proposed business name and try to avoid cliché names. Fill the form with your best Email address and Phone number and submit the form when done. The submission of the form would costs N500 and can be paid using you master card, visa card, verve card, on line banking etc.
The name search would take one to two working days to be approved or disapproved. If disapproved try again With a different and more unique name.

STEP 2: Register the Business name - Once your name has been approved the next step is to register the business name. Log in to your account with CAC and once logged in click on 'action' and download the the letter of approval from the CAC portal, open it and take note of the approval number.
Go back to the website, Click on 'Registration' on the top left of the webpage select business name and paste the number from the approval document on the space provided click on enter. Ensure you know the nature of the business, proprietors of the business and all other relevant information accurately. NOTE: You can 'save and exit' the form at any point where you have difficulties.

* When it comes to nature of the business ensure that you type in three (3) nature of business and it is always a good idea to add General contracts so you do not need to get another business name in the future as, General contracts encompasses everything. (I made the mistake of not adding General contracts and I had to apply with an additional cost of N6000 to get it changed and it was a stressful process)

Fill the form Accurately avoid Mistakes as a Correction would cost you more money and waste your Time.
Now one important thing is[i] When asked if you need additional copies of Certified true copy and documents, select Zero as this is applicable to only those who are registering a limited liability company.[/i]

Submit the form and Pay N10,000 for the business name using you ATM card. You would be given a form to submit to the CAC office in your selection.

STEP 3: Physical Submission - Download and print and make two photocopies of
- All receipt of payment from Remitta and CAC,
- The approval of business name document
- The form you received upon payment for business name
Take these documents with two passport Photographs, N250 stamp duty fee - to be paid into CAC Skye Bank Account (you can do this before going to the office the bank has the account number) and submit for filing with the corporate Affairs commission.
