Advice Needed: What Viable Businesses Can I Start-up With A N1million Capital by PoeticMind(op): 11:15am On Jun 13, 2020
Hello everyone,

I am currently employed but Inhave always had plans to work for a couple of years and start up my own business which I would eventually focus on full time.

I have been able to save up a little in excess of N1 million in about 2 years.

While I don't plan to quit my job just yet, I intend to start up a business (side hustle) which I hope will eventually grow to become my mainstay.

I need advise on viable business(es) I can start up in Lagos that would not adversely affect my job.

Thank you all in anticipation of your helpful suggestions.

PS: I work with a financial institution and I am quite constrained for time on weekdays

With a little less than 150k you can start up something which will yield 200% in about 8 months. It's not a get rich quick scheme. You can get info about it and if you are interested it's fine. You can reach me dominusprime4@gmail.com. if you like it you can put in as much as you like.

Money is meant for three things:
Spending
saving
investing.
With your job nature. You should go for investing.
When you are ready to retire, you can start a business, business is never a side hustle my Broda. its a main hustle. Unless na biscuits you want sell.
Invest in existing businesses. Shares, real estate, farm investment etc. I wish I can advice you more. But try and read this book " rich dad poor dad". your eyes will open

OP I'm a barber and business enthusiast, some years back I developed a nice business concept that will make customers come back to your shop thus inviting new customers, if you can invest in a unisex salon I can partner with you and promise you won't regret investing. I will only share this business idea if you're willing to do this.
Are you based in Lagos?

Can we talk more about it via email or other channels?

Invest that money instead. There are online options for you like risevest and investbamboo where you could invest your money in dollars.

Forget about business in Nigeria. It's not as easy as you think.
