It depend on how elaborate you want it to be. I just finish my Nysc and I am selling gas too. I bought 50kg cylinder 2. One is 32-35k. I got too for 70k depending on your area you can get it for 32. Buy scale the one you will be using to measure the gas kg for costumer. Either manual or computer scale. Manual 10k. Computer scale 35k buy any one you like. . Then a shop. Which I believe you must have seen a location already. Then look for the nearest gas mega station go there with your empty 100kg. Enter to see them and tell them you are a new dealer and you want to be buying from them. They will register your name and be selling for you in a cheaper rate. 08167848676. That’s my number you can chat me up anytime If anything is confusing you bro. But what I have explain is the most important info you need to know. God bless our hustle

He said the government will soon commence a clampdown exercise on illegal roadside LPG dealers and advised all skid operators to “immediately convert their outlets to micro distribution centres (MDCs) before the enforcement begins”.

Ataga explained that consumers would only pay for the content of cylinders when the exercise begins.

“The MDCs will essentially create and introduce into the market what we call the cylinder exchange programme, whereby the cylinders are owned by the distributors.

“There is no need for you to decant for anybody that comes in, and that eliminates illegal risks as well.

“You would fill them at the refill plants that would be tied to you and exchange it with your customers because you know your customers already.

“Your customers pay for only the content, while you own the cylinders and control the management of those cylinders.
.

In this Nigeria undecided

Good initiative but will it ever happen cheesy

I don't like the idea of operators owning customers cylinder.

What's your budget? What capacity are u looking at? Contact for advice: charbathnigeriaigeria@yahoo.com

Re: How Much Will It Take To Start A Gas Filling Business? by phadriz(m): 6:34am On Jun 09, 2019
Guy, depending on your capital, below are what you need:

50KG cylinders @ 28k each at ojuelegba.
Digital check scale double face 20k @ lagos island.
Accessories needed for transfer 12k.

I will advise you to get four 50KG cylinders and three 12.5Kg cylinder which is around 6k each @ ojuelegba, it will be useful for swap for resturant supply.

Please try to undergo 3 days training from street retailer on how to transfer and be safety cautious, feel free to contact me on any question.

Don't bother yourself on any of the proposed stupid regulation it can not stand this is Nigeria. They wanted to do that because a particular company just launch its factory for cylinder production.

Re: How Much Will It Take To Start A Gas Filling Business? by Bennycollins: 6:49am On Jun 09, 2019
How else can gas be sold if not in cylinders? Are they going to pipe it from depots direct to individuals gas cookers? Impossible.
Asquare84:
It will cost almost 3.5 million to construct the gas tank , very soon govt will ban the sale of gas in cylinder and in filling station

I'm not saying business plan is bad tho...

But I'm not a fan of business plans

it seems too theoretical and all to me..

As one who have run businesses for a while
I know for sure that contents id business plan
And the realities that HIT YOU when you are operating that business

Is very very WIDE
the difference is clear most of the time
Not the acadic business plans. Trust me when solid business plan hits you, you'll understand what I mean. It highlights all a business needs from start to finish

50kg cylinders,buy as much as you can because that is only way you will enjoy the biz. If you should buy only two,how many time will you be stressing yourself to the gas plant?
Secondly, you need at least two pieces of 12.5kg available for rent.
I will prefer you go for a digital scale to gain custom confidence because you will be dealing with both the informed and uninformed customers, thus that digital scale will save you a lot of stress because lots of customers will fight you for short filling.
Go for a thorough training from any gas plant or any serious gas filling shop to know what can cause fire outbreak such as hitting iron with iron, iron with stones and more while refilling. Making of calls and receiving of calls can never cause it because I as a person did it several time without any wahala. You need at least 6kg of fire extinguisher.
ITEMS NEEDED:
50kg cylinder=32/35 .At least you need up to 5pcs. One for display outside the shop while you try and fill up the remaining four as a first timer. When two or three cylinders are empties,you call the distributor to come and pick the empty bottles and be selling the remaining one bottle before the arrival of your new stock.The distributors are mostly working with the gas plants (common within lagos)otherwise, look for one regular danfo driver or keke napep rider.They usually carry one bottle for #400/#500 for to and fro.
2. Util transfer= 1k 3/4 PCs.
3.Nido transfer=#300 3/4pcs
4. Nido filling heads(locally made is the best)=4k/5k at least 2pcs
5. Camping filling heads (local)=4k/5k at least 2pcs
6. Standard f. heads (local)=5k at least 2pcs
7. Transfer hose=#100 per yard.At least buy 8yds. 2yds is enough for one 50kg,you keep the remaining 6yds in case that one expires.
8. Clip=2pcs for #50. Buy as many as possible. You will sell one for #50 for your customers.
10. Standard rubbers =3k/3.5k per nylon.#50 for customers.
11. Nido rubber #200 is enough in case the one you are using get damaged.
12. 12.5 kg cylinder =5k fairly used at least 2pcs. Mind you,no body sells 12.5 kg even in some plants. It's always 12kg because the remaining 0.5 will go while venting.
13. If you have enough cash and space,try and build 2/3 industrial cooker for rent. you will enjoy it.
14. Fire extinguisher 6kg= 3k at gorodom in idumota.I don't know your location sha
15. Patience and good customers relationship.

Oga, I am not here for insults. Drop the financial statement of a business you modeled and the website link.

According to your estimation, Peekay Gas would make over 60M in sales just the first year and the revenue would grow progressively and hit about 220M in 5 years. That is over, 200%.

Digital check scale double face 20k @ lagos island.
Accessories needed for transfer 12k.

I will advise you to get four 50KG cylinders and three 12.5Kg cylinder which is around 6k each @ ojuelegba,.
chai, information is key.If I have seen dis piece earlier on, it would have been better.I bought 6kg with gas in it for #10.5k at lawanson road in Lagos.
Re: How Much Will It Take To Start A Gas Filling Business? by miraclea: 9:08am On Jun 09, 2019
There are different types of storages but for a startup lik you i advice you to go for either 5 tons or 2.5ton storage capacity
5tons is about 4 to 5 million
2.5ton is about 2.5 million to 3.3million
You need a landed space rented or outright purchase
You can get a license within 8 hundreds to 1.4 depending on who you know the official price is far more lower than that
Instalation is negotiable +few materials
Building a small small open roof 500 k
You can start with scale instead of metres 40 k
You can get a chinko good generator that will consume less than 3k diesel a day for 400 with instalation
For now gas is around 200 to 210 per kg some selling for 270 to 280 per kg
I think I've been of little help
You can make further research yourself
