Hello Nairalanders.

Please is there a reason why cashews that are grown here are so expensive to buy from supermarkets? And please if you can supply cashews retail kindly drop your contact here.

Thank you

Below are our top 20 reasons why you need a business plan.


1. To prove that you’re serious about your business. A formal business plan is necessary to show all interested parties — employees, investors, partners and yourself — that you are committed to building the business.
2. To establish business milestones. The business plan should clearly lay out the long-term milestones that are most important to the success of your business. To paraphrase Guy Kawasaki, a milestone is something significant enough to come home and tell your spouse about (without boring him or her to death). Would you tell your spouse that you tweaked the company brochure? Probably not. But you’d certainly share the news that you launched your new website or reached $1M in annual revenues.

3. To better understand your competition. Creating the business plan forces you to analyze the competition. All companies have competition in the form of either direct or indirect competitors, and it is critical to understand your company’s competitive advantages.

4. To better understand your customer. Why do they buy when they buy? Why don’t they when they don’t? An in-depth customer analysis is essential to an effective business plan and to a successful business.

5. To enunciate previously unstated assumptions. The process of actually writing the business plan helps to bring previously “hidden” assumptions to the foreground. By writing them down and assessing them, you can test them and analyze their validity.

6. To assess the feasibility of your venture. How good is this opportunity? The business plan process involves researching your target market, as well as the competitive landscape, and serves as a feasibility study for the success of your venture.

7. To document your revenue model. How exactly will your business make money? This is a critical question to answer in writing, for yourself and your investors. Documenting the revenue model helps to address challenges and assumptions associated with the model.

8. To determine your financial needs. Does your business need to raise capital? How much? The business plan creation process helps you to determine exactly how much capital you need and what you will use it for. This process is essential for raising capital for business and for effectively employing the capital.

9. To attract investors. A formal business plan is the basis for financing proposals. The business plan answers investors’ questions such as: Is there a need for this product/service? What are the financial projections? What is the company’s exit strategy?

10. To reduce the risk of pursuing the wrong opportunity. The process of creating the business plan helps to minimize opportunity costs. Writing the business plan helps you assess the attractiveness of this particular opportunity, versus other opportunities.

11. To force you to research and really know your market. What are the most important trends in your industry? What are the greatest threats to your industry? Is the market growing or shrinking? What is the size of the target market for your product/service? Creating the business plan will help you to gain a wider, deeper, and more nuanced understanding of your marketplace.

12. To attract employees and a management team. To attract and retain top quality talent, a business plan is necessary. The business plan inspires employees and management that the idea is sound and that the business is poised to achieve its strategic goals.

13. To plot your course and focus your efforts. The business plan provides a roadmap from which to operate, and to look to for direction in times of doubt. Without a business plan, you may shift your short-term strategies constantly without a view to your long-term milestones.

14. To attract partners. Partners also want to see a business plan, in order to determine whether it is worth partnering with your business. Establishing partnerships often requires time and capital, and companies will be more likely to partner with your venture if they can read a detailed explanation of your company.

15. To position your brand. Creating the business plan helps to define your company’s role in the marketplace. This definition allows you to succinctly describe the business and position the brand to customers, investors, and partners.

16. To judge the success of your business. A formal business plan allows you to compare actual operational results versus the business plan itself. In this way, it allows you to clearly see whether you have achieved your strategic, financing, and operational goals (and why you have or have not).

17. To reposition your business to deal with changing conditions. For example, during difficult economic conditions, if your current sales and operational models aren’t working, you can rewrite your business plan to define, try, and validate new ideas and strategies.

18. To document your marketing plan. How are you going to reach your customers? How will you retain them? What is your advertising budget? What price will you charge? A well-documented marketing plan is essential to the growth of a business.

19. To understand and forecast your company’s staffing needs. After completing your business plan, you will not be surprised when you are suddenly short-handed. Rather, your business plan provides a roadmap for your staffing needs, and thus helps to ensure smoother expansion.

20. To uncover new opportunities. Through the process of brainstorming, white-boarding and creative interviewing, you will likely see your business in a different light. As a result, you will often come up with new ideas for marketing your product/service and running your business.

What do you mean by nonsense? Seems like you’ve been paid to badmouth this thread because I haven’t seen any logical thing you’ve said to counter the post

drjprince:
what is the meaning of all this nonsense you made up

My dear it’s like it wasn’t gotten from a registered store like slot because TECNO phones come with warranty and the like.
I’m afraid you may have bought a badly repaired phone packaged as new.

Sorry about your experience

I’ve used TECNO Spark, TECNO W3 and Oppson

Great article
E-waste recycling is something this part of the world should take seriously

Here are some 10 ways the brand “Tecno” has improved on their newer devices. We picked this 10 as deal-breakers out of several other features/functions that comes with later Tecno devices.

1. HiOS UI:

The HiOS is a customized User Interface from Tecno embedded to its Android 5.0 (Lollipop) devices and above; it packs a lot of cool features to give your smartphone an elegant look and ensure great performance of your device.
This UI comes with some Great features, viz;

d. Hi Manager: It manages the all apps in your smartphone, increases your device performance in just once click and minimizes your battery usage.

e. Hi Wallpapers: This HiOS has a lot of splendid wallpapers you can use to decorate your screen home page.

2. OTA Updates:

The new Tecno HiOS supports OTA (Over The Air) Updates, which means; users of Tecno smartphones with Android Lollipop (5.0) can now upgrade to any newer version of their choice (Marshmallow6.0 or Nougat7.0).

3. Fingerprint Scanner:

Tecno latest smartphones possesses multi-functional fingerprint scanner beautifully embodied at the rear-end, just beneath the camera.

The fingerprint scanner serves many purposes such as; security, media and payment verification when shopping on Google play store.

4. Iris Scanner:

With the current rise of fraud and hack in the cyberspace today, one has to adopt intelligent measures to stay safe and also out-smart the so called “Scammers”. One way to achieve this is through the use of smart-intelligent devices, which our smartphone is one of them.

Tecno flagship devices boasts of “Iris Scanner”. This allows you to operate your device with eye contact, secure your private documents and keep your E-gadgets safe. It is a features that isn’t found in their older devices.

5. Premium Body Build:

Nigerian mid-class income group often refers to Tecno as a brand that’s only interested in churning out cheap plastics and where hardly proud of owning one during its early days.

Not until Phantom 5 and other premium models broke the jinx with full-metal bodied premium devices. Even top Nigerian influencers are proud to flaunt devices like; Tecno L9 plus, Camon 9, Phantom 5 and 6, Camon CX and CX air nowadays.

6. Good Cameras:

Truly, one can hardly oppose the fact the Tecno phones comes with astonishing camera life. Starting from the introduction of its “Camon series” to the Flagship of the “L9 plus” and then to “Phantom Series”, Tecno phones has indeed proved to be unbeaten by its close competitors when it comes to Good Camera Quality.

7. Long Lasting Batteries:

One of the biggest problems we encounter with our smartphones is their battery life. Getting the best from our smartphone solely depends on the battery life.

Tecno smartphones pack encouraging battery capacity ranging from 3,500 – 5,200 mAh. And also, with the Tecno HiOS UI now present in their devices, your 3,500 mAh battery will last as long as a 4,000mAh battery of some other phone’s battery. The Tecno L series, Camon series and Phantom series boasts of good battery capacity.

8. Hardware:

Tecno has made a reasonable improvement on their hardware/firmware compared to its early days. Their devices are mostly powered with latest MediaTek Processors and powerful GPU’s that aids performance and multi-tasking. With a 1.5 GHz MediaTek MT6750T Octa-core processor and Mali 860 GPU, multi-tasking ain’t a problem for you.

9. OTG Cable:

OTG is a short way of saying “On The Go”. Therefore, OTG cables mean On The Go cables. When it comes to smartphone device integrated technology, the invention of OTG USB cables is one of the best and coolest innovations so far.

The OTG cable can be used to connect two devices and work with them at same time. Almost all newer versions of Tecno devices support the OTG feature. With OTG feature support, you can:

a. Connect to a Game Controller: With the help of OTG cables, one can connect his/her phone to a game pad and enjoy the best gaming experience.
b. Charge your smartphone from another smartphone: Yes, you can connect your smartphone to a friend’s own when you are out of power with an OTG cable.
c. Connect to a Portable HardDisk Drive: You can now easily transfer data from your device to your hard drive and vice-versa.
d. Connect to a camera: You can connect your digital camera to your smartphone using an OTG cable and transfer saved pictures to your smartphone in order to clean up and save some memory for new photos.
e. Connect to a LAN: This is needful when there is a Broadband network and no Wi-Fi router to connect. Just connect your LAN to a USB controller and then connect to your smartphone. Just that and you are good to go.
f. Connect to a condensed Microphone: A real mic can be connected to your smartphone using an OTG cable to deliver high-quality audio while recording.
g. USB keyboard: If you are tired of typing with the little keyboard that pops-up while in a typing space, you can connect to an external USB mouse with the help of OTG cables.

i. USB Fan: When you device gets hot on steady usage, you can cool it down a bit by connecting a USB fan.
j. USB Light: With the help of OTG cables, you can connect USB lights to your smartphone rather than using your phones flash as a touch in cases of low lightened environment.

10. Pricing:

This point is the selling point of all mobile devices produced by the Transsion Holdings. Tecno phones are very affordable comparing features VS Price. This is a point even the Tecno haters have come to terms with.
