hahahaha

U forget that they will give u soup for free on top that fufu
If fufu is 100% Profit and meat is 100% Profit and soup is free, it means average 50% Gross Profit to 70% Gross Profit will be gotten DAILY.

That is good business.

Precisely here in the south west.
Business experts please advise me
If you already have a shop.
Remove cement cos cement alone can chop the 2 m.
You might not be able to buy everything for now but just buy small units in half dozens, quarter dozens.

Do this.
1. Do market survey. What is selling well in building material business.
2. Check the wholesale market price
3. Check your potential business location retail price.
4. Do check and balance with transport cost.
Then you can know if the 2m will be enough or not.

All these are stories. Building materials strives well in areas were new constructions are going on especially for retails except you want to start big. Most building materials dealers stays closed to each other, that is they have their own markets; except perhaps cement dealers. No one building materials move more than the other they are inter-dependent on each other. Example, if you buy cement today, before you finished the building, you will need Iron rods, nails, plumbing materials, pop materials, keys and doors, etc.

I have been in the business for year. In fact, I inherited from my late Mum but I have closed down due to reloction.
You are in southwest and Ogunpa market is your best bet. Some claimed things are cheaper in Lagos but I never tried because of Lagos Wahala.
Go to the market yourself, go round very well and dont just buy from the first place you see things. There are a lot who bought and resell in the same market so the more you go around, the more you are likely to get it directly from the "major distributor".
Whatever you want to buy, don't buy pieces, ask how much is carton or dozen and tell them to give you half or even quarter.
A lot of things you will need to learn from going to the market but later, you can just be sending money for waybill and your goods will be delivered to you.
The first thing is to go and survey the market yourself.

Am considering linking up with the importers who I assume are major distributors themselves then buying in cartons from them.

That your guy failed doesn’t mean he will fail. U will fail like your guy because he already sow the seed in your mentality. Leave people to pursue their dreams. No one asked for your negativity. Keep it to yourself. When you fail, remind yourself again.

She supplies them to nearby restaurants. Some come to meet her at home to buy. Like average of 30k worth of fufu/day.
She has sold 50k in one day b4.

Besides she has a big cassava farm now.
