@princemillia. Evening my brother, guess work is great. We once had a chat on my topic which I posted that I needed a mini-bus for passenger transportation. I came across ur post dis evening and was wondering if we cld av a chat again. U can whatsapp me at 08098791557 so we can have a thorough chat. Anticipating your soonest reply.

maramax:
Kindly advice me, I am thinking of going into transportation business with my Toyota Camry to raise at least N1.5m to start my choice business in the next 1.5yrs. please which city between Lagos and Abuja is the best place for me to meet my target all factors put into consideration? Note I will be driving it myself.

My dear brother, there are so many factors to be considered in considering which metropolis is good for ur transportation biz but I will definitely choose Abuja over Lagos with d following points:

Street urchins/Agbero: dis people r everywhere in Lagos and even if u choose 2 run ur biz as a taxi/cab service, imagine how much d union pple will disturb u. In Abuja of 2dai, u cn quietly run ur taxi/cab/kabukabu biz and make ur money without any inteference frm anybody

Good roads and network: need not expand on this, it is basically evident. Abuja roads are wider and connections within d metropolis is quite easy 2 understand.

Though we cannot compare d population of Lagos 2 Abuja, but ma bro, u can still make ur money

Movement: it is very easy 2 navigate Abuja roads. U can cross frm Gwagwalada 2 Maraba/Masaka within few minutes, to and fro anytime of d day except closing hours sometimes which is d rush hour in Abuja. Can u compare even though it is nt d rush hour in Lagos, that is even if there is any 2 dat of Abuja? Move frm Ikeja 2 Ajah during d rush hour in Lagos na. Or frm Egbeda 2 Surulere. Or even Festac 2 Apapa na.

U av every chance 2 also maintain ur car better in Abuja and still even do ur fine boy and dictate time u'll work affording u d comfort needed 2 do ur biz. Try dat in Lagos make I hear

@Op Quoting from ur post, since u said ur vehicle can go long distances and its in a very good condition, hope u'll b interested in inter-state transportation biz. Let's talk more if ure interested.

mrsage:
Let us move our transportation business forward

Yes mrsage, let's move our transportation biz 4ward. Wonderful contributions, advices and ideas since inception of this thread. For those reading and those yet to comment, I'd like 2 say av had a wonderful discussion and time with d Op privately. Thanks so much 4 all d efforts @mrsage.

As educated as I am, this is 1 industry that moves me anytime and am just waiting for a breakthrough, God knows I'll b limitless when d opportunity comes. One other fact av always seen everywhere, not limited 2 NL alone is dat transportation has always been pointed out as one of d most lucrative ventures in Nigeria up till dis moment considering u get all d factors mentioned in d previous posts right of coz.

It suffice 2 say as an investor, it will always b a win-win scenario hence d need 2 make good investments in dis sector. For some of us still looking for an opportunity, we can only hope 4 d best at dis time and keep praying 4 d survival of dis great income generating idea in Nigeria. Things will change when d likes of educated ones like us rub minds and bring in more 2 dis ancient and lucrative industry. God bless u all as u make views, interests and ideas known.

I'd like to use this opportunity 2 thank each and everyone who has either contacted me directly or commented on my thread so far.

In some views, I have bn critised, appraised of my passion and career move, misjudged and misunderstood. But am still not relenting on my efforts to start up dis inter-state passenger transportation biz.

As I av explained in my previous posts, am looking for an investor in form of a partner who is willing to give out his/her 3 seater row mini-bus on a hire purchase for dis business purpose. Though I av received considerations from a number of people which shows and explains my genuineness and passion, please do not be offended if I'kd turned down ur offer, I simply do not want to be hooked with a prior arrangement while what I wanted later shows up.

Please everyone, help spread d word and if u can invest in hire purchase deal, my contacts are given above, do not hesitate to contact as am still seriously seeking. And if u av any reservations, pls air ur opinions.

Happy Sunday 2 u all.

bravolad:
I doubt any business person who genuinely gets his money will give you a vehicle based on your terms. To get a mini bus for hirer purchase, you must make some deposits, pay up the balance within a short period so that such owner can maximise profit.

Also, your tone on this thread does not portray you as genuinely seeking for help but looking for someone to prey on.

I don't think you will meet the conditions for hirer purchase.

Just my thought based on your responses.

Well, I guess my responses has given me away which I didn't want to engage in, in d 1st place. My brother, anybody reading this is gonna b doubting my integrity and sincerity now which wz never intended. Am not looking 4 anyone 2 prey on, pls my brother that assumption is wrong. My solicitation is 4 any one who understands d terms and conditions of dis particular investment. There is d hire purchase act, docs online 4 referral, pls am nt a swindler and b4 am labelled 1.

@MPVGoddess, it seems ur arguement has given me another name and tarnished my credentials but I do blv pple will find ur comments just as appropriate.

Well, I still use this medium 2 reach out 2 everyone who understands d hire purchase act and willing 2 assist. We can discuss terns, agreements and conditions as 2 what will benefit either parties ind short term.

Thanks and God bless

MPVGoddess:
My point was and still is do not limit your options.
The tail of the elephant is better businesswise than a complete ant!

In plain English, say you want to be paid 2.5 million for a contract, but the client is offering 1.75 million, will you rather walk away or get less?
There are people who do hire purchase, I pray you find them, but if you don't will you rather stay unemployed? Under-employment is better than no-employment. Ask all the contract workers in Nigeria who faithfully report to duty day in day out despites the hues and cries of slavery. That in one sentence is the message am passing.

By the way, I made it clear from the onset I was not asking you to come on board my ship.
I wanted to help you see what goes on in the mind of someone who has funds or vehicles when someone who doesn't and needs same approaches him to be given one.

NO ONE IS INTERESTED IN HELPING YOU, UNLESS YOU HELP THEM REACH THEIR OWN GOALS FIRST! THEREFORE IF YOUR GOAL DOES NOT HELP THEM REACH THEIR GOAL, THEIR VEHICLES WILL RATHER LIE FALLOW AND THEIR FUNDS UNDERUTILIZED THAN OTHERWISE. SO SMART PEOPLE WILL PREPARE A PROPOSAL THAT MAKES MIND/HEART OF THE FUNDS/VEHICLE OWNER JUMP FOR JOY, SO THEY TOO GET WHAT THEY WANT. YOU CANNOT DO THAT UNLESS YOU KNOW/UNDERSTAND/APPRECIATE HOW THEY THINK!

I bet you no transport company can operate that model and survive.

No company can break even with the hire purchase model.

If hire purchase is cost x 2
Let's say a sienna cost 1,000,000.00
Then you want to pay the vehicle owner 2,000,000.00

Any company that operates the hire purchase model is not being forthright with its tax obligations and the need to truly break even and not appear to break even because:

Nigeria's corporate income tax is 30% of profits
so if he made 2,000,000.00 gross then assuming profit is 1,000,000.00

then he would actually be going home with 700,000.00 because 300,000.00 belongs to the government

but that calculation fails to take into consideration that he also has to maintain the vehicle and pay for fuel, etc, etc

He also needs to pay staff. He also has to pay VAT at 5%, although they are plans to increase it to 18%.
Then there are levies paid to local governments, state governments, licenses before the vehicle can be on the road, insurance, etc.
there is also education tax aka tertiary education tax,

What of the cost of the property from which the company operates?

Point is from the point of view of a business, the hire purchase model is not sensible.

Even if it were sensible, the multiplier will not be x2 but much higher. So a smart guy will tell the lender, others do x2, but I will increase it to ….
Of course, I am not saying no one will help you, am just explaining why it is difficult to break even from the standpoint of a corporate entity on the hire purchase model.

And which is why to the true corporate player, your proposition does not fly.Which is why you present this proposal to the bank, and it will be land in the bin.

There is next to nothing to be made, it favors you, not the owner of the funds.

And with the economy as it is, people are taking the time to ensure they don't run losses.

I wish you the best...with the hire purchase model.

I hesitated to comment all along even though I saw the thread from the moment you created it, now I have, tried to help you look at matters from the angle of those whom you are seeking help from.

Assuming you are dealing with an individual and not a company, then personal income tax rates apply, and if the person is honest with his tax obligations, then the x2 model is still not reasonable because are looking at the following taxable deductions:

First 300,000 is 7%
next 300,000 is 11%
Next 500,000 is 15%
Next 500,000 is 19%
Next 1,600,000 is 21%
Over 3,200,00 is 24%

I will comment no further, since my aim is not to detract from your mission.

I have already succeeded in educating anyone who wants to be a driver for a vehicle he does not own to see the big picture, so he can prepare a winning proposal for both parties.

Someone somewhere will most definitely thank me for this analysis.

Case Closed

Surely someone will thank u 4 dis but my silence over ur reiterations doesn't mean acceptance. What I seek is assistance which will metamorpse into a big scale venture in d nearest future nt starting or running an org now. Am nt adamant on my views but ur xplanations can best b utilized by dem Uber and d rest.

We talking making money off d streets hia and ure talking tax and returns. Thanks all d same 4 ur comments. Appreciated.

@MPVGoddess, well xplained 4 those interested in ur model and business operandi but mind u am nt here 2 argue and neither is dis a thread 4 sm emotional outburst. That's y in business there are competitions, incentives and all that and 4 what purpose? Workers welfare or customer retainership? Look inwards, nobody cares how ur management is structured or how much profit u make yearly except ure a shareholder, d business owner or an employee of d organization.

D risks u outlinedd above is necessary coz u wanna b in d biz 4 a long term jus as u said. U wanna b in control so what d'u think is expected? There r instances and likely possibility dat wht ure toiling afta 4 d said 5years, pple cn make it in 2-3years and wlda already moved on 2 something else. Its about what we want.

My thread wz created 2 look 4 someone or an org who cn help me on a short term basis with a vehicle on hire purchase terms and am focused on that rationale and nt deviating. Am nt interested in d profession or how it's a means to an end, am passionate about it, focused and very zealous 2 turn my passion into income

MPVGoddess:
How about expanding the options:

I for one do not subscribe to the hire purchase model.

We wish to remain largely in control, plus the hire purchase profit model is too shallow for our liking.

For our vehicles, we will do comprehensive insurance, we will be in charge of servicing, we will insure our drivers, and we will pay our drivers a percentage of earnings that we believe is decent, but we will do a proper/legally enforceable agreement which means if a driver messes up, he is kicked out, but if he plays nice, he is nicely rewarded better than what normally obtains.

There may be vehicles out there that are available but not on hire purchase, from others apart from us.

Just a few thoughts for your consideration

Well, thanks for ur candid thots but lemme clear something here. I believe to some extent it is the greediness of sm investors or d opinionated idea of turning drivers 2 slaves that has largely crippled d transportation biz and d dishonesty exhibited at most times. Consider working 4 an organization 4 example, after u've negotiated ur salary and d coy now pays u what they like coz its ur fault that d coy is nt doing well or being managed well so u av 2 pay 4 it. Just imagine that scenario. Or they blv ure earning above ur paygrade so without consulting u they shld cut ur earnings.

If u've decided to do biz in a certain way irrespective of whatever profit that has bn agreed upon by both parties, who earns more or less shldnt b a problem. There r diff scenarios I can site but let me not eat up space.

Ure right though, but d question is how much longer d'u wanna exploit a man who has given u twice ur investment in a biz which u cannot even get frm financial institutions dis days. He will become dishonest and start working 4 his pocket 2
