I think your best best would be to look for construction companies and delivery companies that need trucks etc. It's going to be a little difficult but you may have to cold-call companies and ask what their requirements are. You can get lists of Nigerian based companies from the Nigerian Yellow Pages. www.nigeriayellowpages.com All the best! |

This is not a business. Moved to jobs. |
The owner of this forum is actually a very hard-working person with a lot of productive ideas and does not sit in front of the computer, begging people via e-mail, forums and goodness-knows-what-else to click on this link for this "secret" or sign up to the other program for $600 a week. . . Bah! |
Nice site - Very very very very very very impressive!!! Keep it up!!! I'm usually very good at shooting holes in things but not this time. Well done! |

@ faliowino. Your pictures certainly look nice but the question is would it feel nice if you were in Africa? I would suggest devising a way to combat the heat, ,and testing it out in a couple of units in Nigeria for say, about a year (So as to experience rain, harmattan, heat etc). After then, you can make changes/proceed depending on your outcome. |
lol. (Sorry I cannot offer a better contribution than lol) |
Interesting concept but is it practical to live in an aluminium house in a country with temperatures as high as 34degrees? Are there measures in place to offset the heat problem? |
Well, since you are restricted for time and place, why don't you do business in the very bank that is owning you Buy and sell things your colleagues want! |
There's a guy on NL who is already workingon something like that. I think his NL name is spikedcylinder or so. . . You can chat with him and exchange ideas. |
Could you possibly give an indication of your prices? |
- Should this post exist? - Can anyone who is truly passionate about doing business, thrive off someone else's idea? - On the other hand, can someone who has a really really good idea not pursue it, if they believe in it so much that they are willing to put it up for sale. ? - Should I move this post to adverts, as it is an advert, or leave it here as it is an advert which relates to the Sub-board? |
It certainly sounds like a feasible idea, as you have identified your market already. German cars are quite expensive cars, so your customers won't be just any car owner of the street. Your customers are likely to be wealthy people, who obviously have these expensive cars, and who want their cars to be looked after by a specialist. With this in mind, you may want to think about where these sort of people live. I would suggest corporate parts of Lagos/Abuja - where wealthy, owners-of-flashy-cars live. I think it would be a good idea to go down to these areas and observe for yourself. Spend a day around the areas, see how many BMW, Porsches etc you see on the street - These are the people you want to attract. Also, check the area for competition. Walk into automobile repair centres and see what they do. Are they general car technicians who just fix anything? Or are they specialists in their areas? What are their prices like? Is there a BMW/Porsche dealer in the area? What are their prices like? Do they provide parts? Do you know a better place to source parts? If all is favourable, take another look around and try and select a good location. Are there certain areas in which your services are needed ? Are there available garages? Lastly, this is a new continent you are thinking of moving into. Things are bound to be different, new, strange and exciting. On your trip, you can ascertain whether this is a challenge you really want to take. Do you see yourself living there inthe next 2, 5 , 10 years. Can you adjust to the environment? I'm sure there are more things that need to be considered but these are just off the top of my head. Most of it involved proper research. You can ask questions etc - They are very helpful but nothing beats your own first-hand perception of the whole situation. |
Have you had a look at the first "Sticky" on this board? i.e "You have money and you want business ideas, " |
There is a guy on here somewhere who has been advertising fish farming for a while. Hopefully, he'll see your post soon and latch you on. All the best! |

I take it that you already have an existing customer base for the products you want to sell, and you are just looking to get affordable products that will be profitable. I think most people who sell clothes and shoes (if you're looking for brand new items) usually source them from places like Dubai. I know many people who travel monthly to Dubai to purchase stock for their shops. I know a lady who owns a shop at Balogun market and she goes to Dubai or Taiwan at least every couple of months to buy clothes and laces. I think if you approach such people prior to their trip, they can assist you in buying in bulk for your business. The only problem is that you are restricted in your choice as you cannot see what you are buying prior to purchasing it. You will have to judge the persons judgement in choosing things that are likely to sell. I think that people who sell second-hand goods are the ones who go to Cotonou or Togo. I'm not sure how it works but used clothes from Europe seem to end up there someway or the other. As for shoes, I think people generally get them from abroad as welL. I think what you are looking for is a wholesaler who sells good quality clothes in bulk specifially to people who are reselling. My advice would be to try and contact some of the people at Balogun market who travel for their stock - Or you can buy their stock directly,however you may have to pay more for this. I could refer you to someone who could assist you in getting brand new clothes in bulk directly from Europe, without you having to travel all the time - if you let me know what exactly you are after - Mens? Womens? Children? |

That was a better answer, duzz. At least, now we know you have a clue what you are talking about, and others can gain too. |
