You can't start small again these days. 500k is too small to start any reasonable business. You will end up spending the money for food when hunger strikes.
Oya, kuku start food business, so you can eat from there.

Truth is, if you can't start any business with N500k, you can't start even when more is given to you.

Let's be honest with ourselves; N500k is still a good amount of money.

Maybe in a village setting sha, because here that I am, shop rent is like 1.5 to 2 m. So how do I start a business with 500k when shop rent is higher?

That amount is too low for starting a business with no already available map/plan.... But however, it can still start a business that can sustain daily needs like, pos, recharge card sales and the likes....
I can't remember the last time i bought recharge card from someone
P.O.S is no longer a nice business as many people u will buy things from now accept transfers
Re: What Will You Do If Someone Gives You 500k? by CodeTemplar:
Go to ajegunle or any rugged ghetto and start a ganja café.

Lit it like mosquito coil and charge people token to inhale and exhale
. Lol.



That kind of business is what Tinubuonomics has left as options for 500k for most.

Though there are good things to do with such amount.

Buhari once boasted about lifting 90million Nigerians out of poverty with N5,000 each.

If you were given a challenge to start a business with N500k, renting a shop should be the last thing on your mind. cheesy

Ready-to-eat food business should be your best bet.
Especially around a busy area.
Food sells anywhere.

I will first stake N100k on this game that starts by 8pm tonight, If the game enters I can now know what to do with myself.

100k will win me 40m. with N40m, I will know what to invest in so I never get broke again.

I'll pay my house rent for 5 years,
I'll buy one GLE 450 series,
I'll Marry 2 more wives,
I'll start 2 companies and employ 50 people,
Then I will invest the rest for future growth.
Does it make sense?

Bot trading is the only thing I think that will genuinely yield tangible profit in one year, legal too.
Most businesses will fail or run at loss in the economic climes we are in.

You never hear say customers no dey like that again because of Inflation
Miscellaneous offline bills, impromptu bills etc
Some customers will plead for credit & you may have no choice but to assist if you rarely get customers lol

Naira or dollars? huh If it is Naira, take that question to teenagers who are still being fed at home. Any mention of thousand now has to be dollars for it to change something in the life of a Nigerian adult. angry

Many big businesses you see are floating because of loan facility. Not to talk of ordinary 500k.
