ok.

Now before you begin this journey, you should understand that there are various types of niches or jobs you can bid for, apply for or execute. The most common are;
-Supplies (of anything ranging from building/construction materials, beverages, equipments, vehicles, etc)
-Installation (mechanical stuff, I.T installations, etc)
-Building
-Labour (or manpower)
-Products sourcing or procurement (this means helping an organization source for particular products and also help procure them or purchase them)
-Consultancy
etc.

Just pick an area you think you have some experience or if you have the confidence that you can deliver. That is a good start.

Registration of your company with CAC is just the beginning. Now you must register with Nipex, DPR, have your VAT and tax clearance documents handy (get an exemption certificate if its an NGO), have some insurance scheme (probably workmen compensation, goods in transit, etc). These are the basic registration papers you need, note that most companies request for these and some of them also have their own specific list in addition to these. You just have to find out when applying for a vendor registration.

The most popular list is;
• Certificate of Registration with Corporate Affairs Commission
• Tax Identification Number(TIN)
• Value Added Tax(VAT) certificate
• Tax Clearance Certificate
• Bank details
• Form C02,C07 where applicable
• Memorandum & Article of Association
• Total number of employees
• Registered company address
• Director(s)/Sole Proprietor’ s Signature Specimen where applicable
• Management contact information
• Organizational Structure
• Area of business and previous experience
• HSE policy statement
• Quality Assurance policy
• Insurances
• Financial Information

Registering as a vendor or contractor with most companies is free while some require a fee depending on the category of contract you wish to begin bidding for. Contracts are categorized according to their worth (monetary) e.g. N5 million and below, N5 - 20 million, N50 - 100 million, N100 million and above. This categories differs with the companies or organizations.

There is a new documentation now becoming one of the requirements, and it has to do with a pension scheme for your staff. This is one of the troubles with registering a LLC when you are just starting. It needs to be operated like its a big company with workers.

After your necessary registrations, you now need documentations (loads of documents) e.g. corporate profile, HSE plan document, Employee handbook, etc. We will talk about these more when we discuss packaging. Other contractors can chip in what i forgot to add and emphasize more on what i have said. Will be back in a jiffy.

HAPPY NEW YEAR FOLKS!

Nice thread between.

You can do branded shirts, especially coverall for companies.

tempbol:
hello friend, i am interested in the contractors business. my company is registered with CAC. i need more details. endy_tp1@yahoo.com. Thanks

Keep following this thread and you will learn a thing or two.

===========================================================================================================
To continue from where we stopped;

Company Registration

Before you can access contracts from multinationals and even government agencies, you MUST be legally registered with CAC (Corporate Affairs Commission). Your company or organization can be registered under three main spheres;
1. Enterprise
2. Limited Liability Company
3. Non-governmental organization

The first one costs around N16,000 if you walk into any CAC office and do it yourself (but costs around N25,000 if you use the services of a lawyer). It takes approximately 2 weeks for your certificate to be ready. The second costs around N65,000 of you do it yourself also (but costs around N90,000 if you use the services of a lawyer). The third requires a lawyer and costs around N120,000.

And before you ask, the answer is yes, NGOs can get contracts.

Now, importantly before you commence registration of your company, you should understand that there are alot of responsibilities that comes with the 3 different registration processes. If you have the money you can go for the Limited liability company and cope with the perks that comes with it which i will explain later. So also is the NGO registration. But if you have limited funds and wish to start small, you can go ahead with an Enterprise registration. Please do not allow people sway you, because some people thinks registering an enterprise is not good enough but like i said, if you want to start small especially with stuff you can manage, then its your best bet.

Let me give you some examples.

A friend of mine has a LLC. We both went to Federal University of Petroleum Resources to seek for contracts as usual. In fact, i actually escorted my friend there cos he was interested in a contract worth almost N100 million. The gimmicks and politics was much and he then requested for a smaller contract and our contact there told us there is a small contract available which is to clear the environment which is already bushy and the school management wants 5 contractors to handle the job with each getting N5million. They refused to accept his application because his company name is **** Oil and Gas Services Limited. They said a "big" company like that should not hustle for such small contracts, that such contracts are reserved for small Enterprise. And that opened my brain.

Another time, i went to NNPC office in Benin and i saw ALOT of contractors. People struggle, lobby and practically fight for contracts but from information i got, it's easier for your company as an enterprise to get contracts worth N800,000 consistently than for your LLC to get contracts worth more than N10 million (lots of politics in play here). And in NNPC, such small contracts are ALWAYS available, just meet the requirements, register as a vendor and get an "inside man", and you are good to go. Don't worry, i will teach you how to get an "inside man" in companies you have never stepped you feet in. It's called the networking game and some people are good at such games.

So, from my own perspective, as a starter i rather register an enterprise and get small contracts from N200,000 to around N2 million (which is way easier to get these days and manage) than to register an LLC and spend 3 or 4 years chasing contracts worth N50 million (which i will never get cos they are for the big boys in the game and as a starter, i CANT compete with them except i wan finish my small capital and go into debts), when i have my footing, i will upgrade my company and go for the bigger contracts, by then, i already know how it works......my perspective!

Thanks for your interests. I will do my best to enlighten you all on how to become a contractor and make a decent living from it.

First we must understand the Local Content Act. This act sets out specific work scopes that must be performed in Nigeria and it guarantees fair access to foreign companies. The Act seeks to increase indigenous participation in the oil and gas industry by prescribing minimum thresholds for the use of local services and materials and to promote the employment of Nigerian staff in the industry. This act directly affects operating companies, contractors, sub contractors and service providers in the oil and gas industries. In addition, the Act also affects, professional services engagements including legal and financial services in the oil and gas sectors of Nigeria.

From this you will understand that it's your right as a Nigerian with an indigenous company or firm to get contracts from multinationals (basically oil companies). But just because its your does not mean when you walk into an oil company and "request" for a contract, you will get it immediately. There are rules, procedures and processes.

First things first, lets talk about company registration. It's the number one prerequisite.

***NEW UDPATE JULY 2018***

The OfficeManager project (contractors thread) which we began some 2 years was splendid. It had one core function: render help to contractors across Nigeria participate in the BPO "enjoyment". The Business Processing Outsourcing (BPO) industy in Nigeria is a N300billion industry and if you are not participating in it, you are seriously loosing out.

The OfficeManager (Contractors portal) followers, a lot of folks who participated had the opportunity to land new contracts, get their documentation right and networked. Then tragedy happened...

I could not manage it anymore. It became too large and somehow I had to shut it down and go back to the drawing board.

But..

For the past few months, it's been cooking. The OfficeManager platform has been redesigned and I can assure you, it's now PERFECT!

Yes, it can accommodate thousands of users and everyone will still remain satisfied.

I don't need to brag too much. See the features that can be found in the platform:

As usual, weekly updates of latest (verified) contracts published across ALL industries in Nigeria. Every sector is fully covered.
A new set up backend team ready to assist you with whatever issue you might encounter in your contract seeking journey.
Access to hundreds of documents for free download (this will be updated monthly)
Access to our LIVE contract bidding sessions **new**
Access to a chatroom where you can discuss, learn, and network with other top contractors in your industry **new**
Ability to submit your company's project so contractors and vendors can start bidding for it.
And so much more....

The new OfficeManager platform promises to be exciting and fully engaging.

Merry christmas and a Happy new year folks..

Merry Christmas and a Happy new year celebration to all NL folks out there.

This is the official end of 2014 and it's a time of reflection on what we have achieved, what we tried to achieve (and couldn't) and what we dreamed of achieving (and didn't try). If you happen to visit this thread then you must be a businessman or an aspiring businessman, and therefore we all fall into the above categories.

There are different types of businesses;

- The buying and selling class: This is where as a businessman, you own a shop (or mobile shop) and focus on buying goods and re-selling to existing and new customers and make some profits. You don't move anywhere but focus on your business spot.

- There is also the type that owns a shop or office and render a kind of service or the other. Here you have existing customers and also new customers who walks into your shop requesting for services.

- Then you have the contractors, these are the set that seek for contracts from Governments, multinational organizations, etc. And these contracts can run into millions of naira. It can be a one-off contract or a running contract.

This thread is for existing and aspiring contractors. In 2015, do you want to become a contractor? do you want to have your own registered company and start making money as a contractor? There are rules, there are guidelines, there are processes.....when you learn these, you find yourself on the right track.

Here, you will learn how to register a company, how to register with the necessary authorities, how to package your company (even if you don't have money), what to know about PR, how to get necessary documentations, how to bid for contracts, how to network, how to identify existing opportunities, etc.

Existing contractors can join me in delivering expository information on any of the topics or sectors. So, if you want to make a difference, if you want to explore new opportunities, if you want to become a contractor, indicate your interest so i can commence. I don't want to talk to thin air.

Cheers.

Its a collection of the best documentations (office administration documents, forms, templates, letters, Business plan, Proposal templates, contract documents, employee handbook, employment documents, general business documents, HSE policy documents, Agreement documents, Legal documents, Financial documents etc). These are not just templates but completely written documents. You can use them to help your company or business (and stop paying consultants to write them for you), or you can sell them individually and make plenty of money. Contractors will pay you well for these documents.

***Important update***

The idea is that you are promoting products from stores you know are trustworthy. When users want to make purchase, they will be re-directed to the checkout of the store you are promoting. The store will process the order and do the delivery. So yes, they will know its another store's product you are selling. Its more like: "any product you see in my website is super cool and affordable, so go ahead and order from my website...i endorse the product." This is a new way of affiliate marketing and it guarantees more sales and income compared to just placing banners on your website.

**Updates**

I havent updated this thread in a while, because i am very busy. Been working on some website projects, Wiko Mobile job, and others. If you want to become a distributor for the Wiko Mobile phones, please let me know. There is some good profits to be made if you are a distributor. And with me you dont need to start with millions as a distributor, with less than N100,000 you can order your first stock and start selling to make money. I will give you company pricing and retail pricing. You can check the company website to learn more about the company products and also view them on jumia.

=======================================================================================================
We are planning to launch a logistics services and a lot of preparation is being made to have a flawless take off. I really dont know much about it but i have done some good research and survey, and i think we are set. In my region, there are no courier services, you would have to journey into the other end of town to submit your parcel for delivery and so we thought; why not give people the service in this region? And save them the stress of moving to town before they drop their parcel for delivery. They will now happily avoid traffic, arrive at their place of work early, etc. Our logistics services is planned to start delivery to almost all parts of Nigeria. When we are fully setup, i will let you guys know.

========================================================================================================
You guys probably know by now that e-commerce is the in-thing in Nigeria. I personally know people who are making money with shopping websites and maybe you have been interested in having an e-commerce website of your own. The truth is, it costs alot of money! After you have spent some money setting up the website, you will still spend ALOT of money buying products to showcase on the site, sell and get some profit.

BUT

I just concluded an e-commerce website for someone and all he spend money on was for the website, yet the site has ALOT of products to sell. How? The answer is affiliate network! The website lists products from his affiliate networks (jumia, konga, dealdey, etc), all he has to do is promote the website using social media and people see products they like, place order and after buying he gets a fat commission from these online retailers. So he makes thousands weekly selling other people's products (Lol). Simple and effective e-commerce idea. A pic is attached below, and if you want something like this, send me a mail or give me a call. I can set it up for you....its not expensive. It's high time you have something online that gives you regular income.

Price: N30,000 (Negotiable).

Having some issues with one of my neighbors in the plaza where my office is located. The grudge is that he has been registering candidates for JAMB for a long time, but then i came along and am packing up all the candidates...."he is hijacking my customers" - is what he told the landlord. I dont know why he is scared of competition. My office is the busiest in the plaza (as confirmed by the landlord) and now i am a big threat to him. What on earth do i do? I really dont want to have issues with anyone around me. But on the other hand, this is money making and i have to make money.
