Tv program? LMAO! Not even a music show o. A boring real estate program. Already, income from adverts is out of the equation because audience will be too few. I doubt if anyone on this thread EXCEPT one or two people here have really risked money on any endeavor before. I really doubt. I like the thread though.
Having looked at ur profile, I can deduce that you are more of a lonely gambler than a smart human. I bet top dollar you are a frustrated man

Dude, are you Jesus? Should it be your problem that people don't mind 30% of their debts paid back to them or should you be more concerned that you will really get the money back from those so called debtors? Ever heard of bad debt? Dude, this your idea is a very bad one o. Especially in this part of the world. Believe me, your generations unborn will curse you of you push your life earnings into this idea. And no need to insult the other guy. If anyone is making sense here, its him. Not you. Please throw that idea into the lagoon before rags begin to look like designers to you.
Wat has Jesus got to do in this thread.? And who called you as a judge in this discussion. If u have nothing to do with ur time, u rather go watch your dog chew on a bone.

Unto agbero levels, because the person them dey owe no fit collect am, na to sell am to u?

so if person dey owe me 50k for goods i supply u go pay me 30k buy the dept? if i keep seling debt my shop no go close? Buying war will be more profitable. Buy bokoharam war for fg and fight bokoharam. U can buy the war for 400m dollars and recieve the 1b loan from fg and fight the war.
I guess u havnt heard of bad debt. People havnt owed you for 4 years or more for goods supplied. Which do u prefer: having that debt in your books for years or selling it to a debt collection firm for 30% of the value. Any smart biz person knows which to choose.

As a business guy, I have many debts I am willing to sale for even 10% of its value. So oga think before u utter absolute trush.

Thanks

Idea 3- Gift and Hamper delivery Cmpany.

Now this is a business idea I have tot about so much cos the last time my wife celebrated her bday, I searched the entire Google looking for a company that can deliver a Happy Birthday hamper to her at home but couldn't find. You can start a hamper and gift delivery website. This site would have different form of hampers: birthday, child naming, graduation, baby shower, seasonal hampers etc.

The idea is people come to ur site, order a hamper that soothes an event, you deliver to the person who they want to surprise with the gift. Simple concept.

Thanks

Idea 3. Digital Primary School Books
Do u know u can meet MacMillan to make all their publications digital? U can achieve this with other primary school publishers.
Now the idea is to create a Tablet for primary school students with an app store where they or parents can pay and download needed books for school. This idea would do away with textbooks for schools. This can be extended to Secondary schools as well wen ready.
Thanks

Hello Freetown,

That your debt collection bizness is a very good idea. Abuja is a ready market for that. A Lot of ONIGBESE full this town. I pray someone does this

Cheers
Not only in Abuja o. Even in Lagos. People don't just want to pay. And companies don't want to pay either. This sort of biz needs a high placed politician as a patron. Cos my dear for some people, u wuld need SSs, police, Bakasi, Albert etc to collect ur casj

Idea 2
Real Estate TV program: there is currently know Real estate contents in any of the Nigeria TV stations. You can defo start one. Register a real estate company, approach one of the Top stations for a slot (Ebonylife TV preferably). Create a program where you help Nigerians relocating back to Nigeria search for a house in Lagos or Abuja. Go about the marketing of this program. Trust me once this program is on TV, your Real Estate firm would be the leading one in this sector.

Thanks

OK. Lemme shoot one out of my numerous ideas out.

Debt Collection Firm: You can start a debt collection firm. U simply purchase bad debts from companies and individuals for 40-70% of the present value. When such debt is purchased, it is now left for you and your staff to go about collection of this loan from the debtor.

Would come back with more

All am saying is that there is nothing like trust when it comes to money. If you are comfortable with giving a total stranger #6M with the believe that he will add his own #6M and ship the goods, then go ahead with the plans.

What i want you to know is that even if you involve lawyers and ask the partner to sign tonnes of document, it is still not certain what might happen.

Pray for the right directions.
OK seen

You are right about the human element. However, the said partner you are looking for would have the same mind set as long as he/she is nija.
Having said that, do your due delligence follow and thread with care.
I don't get what u driving out. The same partner having d same mindset-hell m investing 6m into this.

I will just give the break down here so people can learn too

You have #6M which is $34k with current exchange rate

Buy 4 car say camry and sienna (2000 upward) @ $2k each = $8k
Get a container. You have two options (the one for $4500 which takes 2months to get to lagos or the one for $6500 which takes one month to get to Lagos)

Then you buy those goods you listed $15k worth [ being modest, you would make atleast 40% profit on those good alone]

Now, lets add all the amount so far. $8k (cars) + $6500 ( one month shipping option) + $15K (other goods) = $29.5k

So, subtract $29.5 from the $34k = $4.5k

Now that $4500 you would use as part for custom duties (clearing). The total clearing at most will not be more than #1.3M in tincan port.

Now profit;
If you make each of the cars for #1M; that would be #4M

goods worth $15K @40% profit margin ; that would be $6k profit. so you have $21k from goods. In naira that is #3.8M

#4M (cars) + #3.8 M (goods) = #7.8M

Therefore you will make #7.8 - #6M = #1.8M

In my view, considering that this is in about a month or a little more, it is a good business and you can do it with the #6M you have
So you do not need a partner except someone who will do the procurment in US.

Send me an email if you have more questions
M really glad u broke it down like this. I needed a partner to help in the procurement but knowing how the human mind works, I decided it would be safer if the would be partner had a sort of financial contribution too

My bro since you have #6M cash, why not start with that. That money will be enough to do the business and still make reasonable profit. In my opinion, there is no need for a partner.

Just in case you want some breakdown on how you can effectively do it with that amount, send me an email for details. You did not leave any call back number.
E
I get what u saying. But I wouldn't have time to travel to the states, go about purchasing d products and back in time for my UK biz. Ordering products is easier from the UK cos u can just sit behind ur computer and place all orders online without even venturing to the UK urself.
But in the US, u need to be physically present to get the goods and the cars which entails more expenses.
And about the 6mill,trust me it's not even enough for a 40ft with 5 accidental cars inside.

Remember m investing 6million in this biz. And any partner will need to invest financially too. Might not b as much as m investing. But would b better if we invest same amount.

Before we go ahead, some documents would need to b signed with my lawyer and d potential partners lawyer.

Signify interest here first and ask any questions.

Thanks

Hey guys,
I am currently looking for a man or woman (living in USA) who is interested in partnering wiv me in bringing in goods from USA.

I currently sale UK cosmetics and toiletries at the popular TradeFair complex in Lagos. I have slowly studied the US market here and I am well interested in diversifying to US products.

I have enough finance, but looking for someone who would wanna partner wiv me.

The idea is the partner handles the buying from the US while I handle the selling in Nigeria.

Goods that we can sale well here are: Pringle, Bounty tissues, Daily Chef Non dairy creamer, Famous Amos biscuits, Quaker Oats, Wilson Cranola Oil, Irish Spring Shower Gels, honey bunches, Netscape, caprisuns.

The idea is d partner source for the goods in USA, loads d goods in a container with 2 accidented cars. I sale d goods in Nigeria n remit money bck
