| Business / My Business Plan by structuredan(m): 10:22am On May 27, 2020 |
I am Simon Daniel from Abuja and I have been around for some time now I have also done a lot of investment here on nairaland some paid and some where just a crap. Growing up I have always wanted to be financially free and that's why I never let opportunity passes me by, with 20k as take home salary from Micro-finance bank where I work and funds invested by individual I approached, I started a side hustle which is turning into something I thought Its time to incorporate it as a company. I have decided to share this business plan with the public because I thought there might be someone somewhere who wishes to start something similar but don't just know how or where to start from this business plan can be of help to such an individual or perhaps you are out there in need of a place with tracks of successful trades to invest your money you are welcome. Gentlemen and ladies below is my business plan suggestions and contributions are welcome as two good head are better than one EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Uplink Multi – Concept will be a conglomerate of businesses targeted at rural and under – developed towns. Owing to the stress of having to travel miles to carry out some basic day to day transactions, the company is set on making life easier by providing these basic needs. • We are looking at providing solutions like Agency banking to enable business men/women make daily savings, withdrawals, and transfers to foster alleviates the stress of long queues in the bank. • We are also looking at being a recharge card vendor of all Gsm networks in Nigeria so that retailers can easily buy and resell to final consumers • As an IT solution company we will be selling quality mobile phones as well as sourcing agent for those who will wish to import stuff like mobile phones, electronics, clothes, and wristwatches from china, USA, and UK • With years of experience in small and medium enterprise (sme) we are considering working with business men/women by providing them with soft loans to help expand their businesses. • Several other services like Job application, taking of urgent passport, checking of waec/neco,jamb result will be carried out at the business center Recently people have abused the platform of Agency banking seeing it as the quickest way of making money, not minding whether the people patronizing them are happy with the service charge or not. We are looking at solving problem rather than creating one by not only rendering banking service to the people but also teaching and encouraging people to cultivate the habit of daily savings in the bank. This also goes in line with the CBN directives to enforce cashless policy in Nigeria banking system as practiced in other countries. In which case the more people we are able to convince to use our Agency banking platform the more commission we will be generating from our principal bank. We will achieve this by going after the people in public places as well as their business centers, interact with them and make them see reasons why they need a bank account for smooth operation of their business. To every account opened we will ensure they have debit cards to enable them have access to their funds anytime, anywhere. For the Gsm part of the plan we shall ensure that there is always a pre-purchase order of e-pins voucher to ensure the availability of recharge cards at all times. This will also ensure that we do not run out of stock unnecessarily. Concerning sales of mobile phones we will ensure that customers have exactly what they paid for. We will do our best to ensure that a customer knows what he/she is buying by educating them on various options available as well as the benefit of each to enable them make an informed decision. We tend to achieve the goal of our sme programme by given free upfront or none – collateral loan to those capable of paying back without gimmicks. This will also give an edge over our competitors who would do same but not without the above conditions fulfilled. TARGET MARKET AND DEMOGRAPHICS In our quest to achieving this vision, there are three categories of persons we shall be targeting. First the salary earners i.e the civil servant, they are among the set of customers that will form a larger part of our Agency banking, reason being that when salaries are paid a lot of them find it difficult to withdraw their money given inability of banks to load ATM especially during weekends, distance, and cost of transportation. Therefore many of them would prefer using an outlet than taking the risk of travelling amidst the stress that comes with it. Secondly, the youths these are the category of persons that will boast our Gsm, mobile phones and electronics market. This is due to the fact that there has been an increased in the internet usability as well as the use of social media platform especially among the young ones recently. Thirdly, the business men/women, they will form the larger part of our sme programme as a lot of them will wish to expand their business but don’t have access to finance. They will be our main target especially as it has to do with daily savings on our Agency banking platform. In summary our target customers will be The working class The business men/women The youths THE MARKETING In our marketing budget we plan to invest heavily especially in offline marketing various means like X- banner for outdoor adverts Flex banner Trifold brochure stating our mission and a broad list of our product and services Outdoor signage board with a boldly written business name Business cards Polo T- shirt for staff identity Other means of marketing like digital marketing in view COMPETITION/THREATS We understand there are similar business center rendering same service but not all customers are always comfortable with their service. We will do our best to ensure that customers not only patronize us but also trust us with their money With years of experience in banking sector we will do everything possible to remain professional by taking regular classes in quality customer care service and relation We will invest time in ensuring that we achieve customer loyalty by rendering quality service through effective communication We will be running referral programme to reward those who will be referring prospective clients to patronize our product We will also have special package for our new and old customers from time to time Refreshment like cold water, minerals, and confectionaries will also be available for our customers to consume free of charge We will do everything possible to build and maintain quality relationship with our customers through interaction and follow ups. OPPORTUNITIES Our ability to rent or own an office will give customers confidence, privacy, as well as security. Our ability to connect with people and companies far and near will ensure that we stay in business for long time Flexibility and giving to learning new skills Innovativeness and ability to blend with technology Professionalism and good customer care service WEAKNESS/CHALLENGES Unstable power supply Proximity to other business centers Exorbitant shop rent OPERATION • we have plans to register our business with corporate affairs commission (CAC) The requirement for Agency banking has also been sent to us by FCMB one of those being that we will open a business savings account We have spotted a shop in Sauka town Airport road Abuja We have contacts of professional painter who will bring out the beauty of the shop, color combination being sky blue and white We are also planning in working with digital printing and graphic company domiciled in Lagos for the printing of our marketing materials like X – banner, brochure, and business cards We have also hook up a furniture worker in Suleja Niger state by name Johnson he will be constructing our show glass multi – purpose receptionist desk We have got contacts of recharge card dealers, companies like Vmtechnology, Ringo telecoms, and Donacom telecoms.

The profit made from the business will be compounded in the first one to two years and reinvested into other sectors like Agriculture and Transportation. Profit determination of our recharge card voucher sales Mtn voucher N100 Lets say we bought 60 units at N96 which is N57600 We supply at N98 within two days N58800 Profit = selling price (SP) – cost price (CP) 58800 – 57600 = 1200 Now let assume this is the profit we made for the other cards denominations i.e 1200 x 11 = N13200 now let go ahead and deduct all the overheads (expenses) let say cost of paper rim =2500 fuel = 1500 communication = 500 foods = 500 total =N5000 now 13200 – 5000 =N8200 we now have N8200 has pure profit for just two days it means on a daily basis we should be making a profit of N4100 while this is not possible however on the average we should be making at least 1650 as daily profit i.e 1650 x 6 = 9900 in a week and 1650 x 24 = 39600 approximately 40,500 in a month months for recharge cards alone In six months 39600 x 6 = N237,600 Profit on Agency banking Let’s say we have an average transaction of 10 -15 customers daily On a commission of N100 per person it means we will be making 15 x 100 = 1500 daily on POS multiply by 24 days N36000 Profit = revenue – expenses 36000 – 5000 = N30000 this just for Pos withdrawals In six months 30,000 x 6 = N180,000 Commission from principal bank Let’s say we have 15 – 20 faithfully customers who made an average of N500 daily savings through us. Our daily commission will be N10 times number of customers In which case the greater the number of customers depositing through us the higher our commission i.e 20 x 10 = N200 daily up take in 24 days we will be making N4, 800 In six month 4,800 x 6 = N28, 800 ONE TIME COMMISSION ON DAILY CONTRIBUTION Our daily contribution scheme is aimed at businessmen/Women to help achieve their daily savings target.

Daily savings from N1000 – N100, 000 = a fixed charge of N1000 naira only i.e if a customer decides to save any amount from N1000 and above he/she will be charged N1000 as commission on logistics. Now let’s assume we have a total of 20 customers who saves an average of N500 daily, that would mean we will have a total commission of 20 x 500 = N10, 000 every month end, in six months N60,000 and in 12 months N120,000 Profit generation on mobile phones Let’s say we have 20 mobile phones in stock and we are able to sell one daily at a profit of 550 daily that will be N13,200 monthly In six months 13200 x 6 = N79200 Profit generation on sme Let’s say we have been able to give out loan worth N300,000 at 30% for six months that will be N15,000 monthly profit.

| Business / Covid-19: Firms Move To Secret Empty Offices In Undisclosed Locations by MidaserveNG: 9:12am On Mar 23, 2020 |
Some people call them “ghost offices”. These are buildings in suburbs and secure locations that are kept quietly on standby – for years on end. You might walk by one and never pay any attention to it. They have little or no signage. A high fence and some security cameras, perhaps. But inside are rows and rows of desks just waiting to be used in the event of a disaster – a safe place to bolt to if the regular office is inaccessible or even destroyed. Terrorist attacks. Natural disasters. And yes, pandemics. These are just a few of the events that might cause a company to abruptly ditch their usual building and relocate staff to a backup office – also known as a “disaster recovery” or “business continuity” site. And now, sadly, a crisis is really upon us. In response to the novel and fast-spreading coronavirus, companies including large banks have been rapidly activating such contingency plans. ‘Disaster recovery’ sites are alternatives to working from home, which isn’t possible for all employees The idea is that, should the virus hit a company’s main office, staff at the backup facility will be able to keep doing their jobs. It’s an alternative to working from home, which isn’t possible for all employees, including those who deal with commercially sensitive information, for example. Some companies keep name cards or lanyards on the silently waiting desks so that, when workers arrive, they immediately know where to sit. Computers, telephones and business software are all kept ready at some locations, too. The buildings themselves might be ring-fenced with tight security. Or be built to withstand hurricanes or earthquakes. Not all businesses can afford to have these dedicated facilities at their disposal, but backup offices can prove crucial to the survival and safety of certain companies whenever crisis hits. Often, disruptive situations only last a few days or weeks. But with coronavirus potentially lasting well into 2021, firms may find themselves relying on backup offices much longer than ever before. Built for disaster “We’ve got customers in all regions utilising our facilities – that’s never really happened before. This is the first global event that we are managing,” says Patrick Morley, vice president of global product management at Sungard Availability Services, a company that provides backup offices and technology to firms. Sungard has about 60 backup office locations across nine countries, including the UK, the US and India. Several of these buildings are in the UK, including a handful in London. Companies generally rent a certain number of desks at a disaster recovery site. They might share that space with other firms, but the highest-paying clients have access to dedicated spaces that are kept on standby solely for them. By spreading workforces across a greater number of sites, businesses are clearly hoping that they can mitigate some of the risk presented by Covid-19, the disease caused by the new coronavirus. But some observers say working from home is better than opening up more offices, since any shared workplace could become a hotbed for virus transmission. Morley says Sungard’s clients are indeed thinking about hygiene. “Customers have actually said, ‘Look, before we come in can you do a deep clean?’” he explains. Sungard has put out lots of hand sanitiser in its buildings. And there are signs reminding employees to wash their hands. The firm also has cleaning staff on standby to perform deep cleans whenever needed, day or night. Financial service agencies and banks are the most likely businesses to have backup offices like this on hand. But firms in the insurance, utilities, petrochemical or real estate trade are also known to have similar facilities. For security reasons, companies don’t usually disclose the locations or features of the disaster recovery sites to which they have access. On the clock but off the grid Although client names are confidential, basic details about some of Sungard’s facilities are public. The firm has a building in central London on Southwark Bridge Road, for example. It has desk space for nearly 1,700 people. When any business wants to send staff to a backup office, it means asking a group of employees to travel to a different workplace. Staff might be asked to transfer operations immediately or they might be given a time and date at which the new working arrangements will begin. All the equipment and software the employees need to do their jobs is ready and waiting Some workers will have seen the premises beforehand during tests and drills. For others, it will be a completely unfamiliar place. But there are ways to make the transition “seamless” upon arrival, says Morley. For example, Sungard’s Southwark Bridge Road site, which is practically empty on most days, usually keeps two of its three entrances locked. But once a client that rents desk space in the building moves in, one of those entrances can be opened and used as the client’s new reception area. This means that employees can be greeted by the same receptionist who usually greets them at their regular office. One firm even keeps access card swipe machines on location so there is no change in how staff enter and exit the office. “They literally have machines that they roll out into our reception, just to enable that to happen on a more familiar basis,” explains Morley. Once inside, staff might find signs posted in the lift explaining what floor and area they should go to, depending on their role. All the equipment and software they need to do their jobs is ready and waiting. Such backup offices are termed “hot sites” in the industry because they can be used immediately and don’t need to be kitted out or “warmed up” first. “Cold” sites, by contrast, could be as simple as an empty warehouse to which equipment can be shipped during a crisis. Providing food is often a challenge because no one can predict when backup offices will be in use or to what extent. Morley says his team keeps lists of local food suppliers – cafes and restaurants – on hand for each location. Firms might, for example, pre-order entire buffets for lunch as Sungard’s buildings don’t have canteens. Pandemics are a very specific kind of crisis, notes Chloe Demrovsky, president and chief executive of Disaster Recovery Institute International. The main threat that firms have been preparing for in recent years has been a major cyber-attack, she says: “Pandemic was kind of sitting on the back burner.” Backup offices are crucial to the survival and sustainability of companies that deal with commercially sensitive data when big emergencies happen. (Credit: Sungard AS) But she adds that the recent history of disaster preparedness in business was actually defined by a very specific event – 9/11. After terrorists struck the US in 2001, destroying the twin towers of the World Trade Center in New York, droves of businesses invested in backup locations. “Presuming that a terrorist attack is the model, you would want to remove your people from a city centre, which is likely more at risk,” says Demrovsky. ‘They’re quite soulless places’ It’s partly a legacy of 9/11 that so many backup offices exist today. But why not just ask staff to work from home? Demrovsky notes that some businesses handle highly sensitive information, so allowing employees to work via their personal devices or home internet connections would not be secure enough. Such firms might have regulatory requirements to handle data securely, which is why they take such things so seriously. Plus, there are sometimes practical problems. “I’ve heard about some organisations that are struggling because they issue desktops, for example – people are having trouble taking those home,” she says. Some firms also rely on ultra-fast computer hardware to process data from the financial markets with minimal delay. These are all reasons why a company might choose to have a disaster recovery office rather than an emergency work-from-home policy for staff. Some backup offices are inside bunkers and bomb-proof buildings capable of withstanding natural disasters David Teed is a business consultant who specialises in disaster preparedness. He says that backup offices, often being bland and furnished only with the essentials, may seem bleak to employees who find themselves suddenly posted there. “They’re quite soulless places – they’re not places you want to be stuck for any length of time to be quite honest,” he says. “But they do a job.” Some of the backup offices Teed has visited around the world are built to withstand all kinds of threats. “Some of them are in bunkers and bomb-proof buildings,” he says. In US states like Oklahoma, for example, such buildings may be constructed to survive tornadoes or hurricanes. The roof of Corus360, a data centre in Norcross, in the US state of Georgia, is designed to survive wind speeds of 100 miles per hour or more. “It is a hardened facility,” says Steve Gruber, an executive at Res-Q, which runs Corus360 and provides backup office utilities and technology to clients, which they might call upon during an emergency or disaster. The company’s Norcross building has 150 seats for workers. There’s an 18-inch raised internal floor with leak detection system, a backup generator and 48 hours of fuel. The walls are poured concrete and most of the structure is underground. There’s even a shower in case workers want to freshen up. According to Res-Q, the site is designed to function with a miniscule rate of failure and offers “a guaranteed uptime of 99.982%”. A luxury in uncertain times Due to the spread of Covid-19, Gruber says that staff at Res-Q facilities like the one in Georgia have had their work schedules staggered – which the company has never done before – so that operations can continue around the clock. “We’ve had several customers already enquire as to availability,” he adds, referring to the pandemic situation. But one concern Gruber has is that some clients aren’t overly fastidious about testing their backup facilities ahead of time. The tourism and entertainment industries have been hit hard by the restrictions in response to the outbreak of COVID-19.

You have to test it.” Although some firms have spent huge sums of money to ensure they have backup offices ready and waiting, it’s important to realise that this is a luxury, says Daniel Aldrich, director of the security and resilience program at Northeastern University in Boston, Massachusetts. “A lot of the firms that we interview here in the Boston area simply don’t have that,” he says. And he notes that companies are already being hit by falling trade as people stay at home more and focus spending on things like groceries. If there are going to be large numbers of bankruptcies, he asks, can the government do anything to help? For now, these backup offices may offer safe havens for employees who can’t work from home. Will everyone go back to the regular office when the coronavirus pandemic is over? Perhaps, but, perhaps not. We have yet to find out how this disease will affect society in the long-run – but changes to how we work could be surprisingly permanent

northbird: Just for clarity, I didn't say Lagos traffic laws are amazing. I said you would be amazed at the powers the Lagos Traffic laws gives the Police, LASTMA and VIO. Those are two different things. For example, an armed robber pointing an AK-47 at me is definitely not amazing to me. Rather the AK-47 gives him amazing powers over me. |

nitigriti: There is nothing AMAZING about Lagos traffic laws. Just an avenue for its operatives to extort the gullible masses. Making fines on one way roads violators without adequate signage indicating such. We all know d popular Bilikisu ayrede ( UNILAG) road being one way. For months, there was no sign indicating such. Of recent, I noticed a small sign indicating No entry. Just like a Maggi cube on a plate of rice.  I was lyk. Look at the sign banning Keke n okada n look at a NO entry. sign. And there are scores of one way roads like that without Signs, I guess no Traffic laws for that too. 6 Likes |

Facelessforum: Start that business today my brother, it's a good business that you can start with low capital. The following are the basic things you need to start; 1. A shop on a busy road (not conpulsory though as you can equally start without one. 2. If you have a shop, basic things like signage, desk, chairs, fan, shelves, ironing tables etc 3. You need to procure two pressing iron (steam and dry), washing buckets, washing machine (not compulsory), dryer (not compulsory). 4. Consumables like clean water, soap, starch, hangers, nylon etc You might need a receptionist, washer and presser but not compulsory as I started all by myself before introducing staff one after the other. You will need flyers and banners to market your business. If possible offer free pick up and delivery services. All the best bro. 1 Like |
| Business / Effective Marketing Strategies by zoomcorporate: 4:05pm On Jan 28, 2020 |
Effective Marketing Strategies Food for thought? Do you think customers know and trust your products or services enough? Do you know what your customers really want? When was the last time a customer talked about your product or service? Was it a complaint or compliment? When was the last time a customer referred your product or service? Does your company have a reputable brand? The answers to all these questions lie in marketing. How you market your business can determine if the enterprise will be successful or not. Marketing is a tool used to create and maintain demand, relevance, reputation, competition and more. Without it, your business is likely to close down due to lack of sales. I’d simply like to define marketing as efforts made by an individual or a company to boost the buying or selling of its product or service. Why is Marketing so Important? Marketing isn't simply an important part of business success – it is the soul of the business. Everything else in the business depends upon marketing. Check out these few reasons why marketing is so important to every business. 1: Marketing announces the existence of your business First things first, potential customers must be aware of the existence of a new business and the product or service it offers before even trying to convince them to patronize such business. Imagine you are starting a new business and no one knows about it? Who then will patronize your product or service? No matter how wonderful a product or service is, if it is not known, then it is as good as dead ab initio. With marketing, you can shout and announce a new product or service to the world! 2: Marketing Is a Communication Channel Used to pass Information to Customers Marketing informs your customers about the products or services you’re offering them. Through marketing, the customers get to know about the value of the products, their usage and additional information that might be helpful to the customers. It creates brand awareness and makes the business stand out from competition. There’s stiff competition in the market and you need to be a constant voice to convince the customers. Inform your customers of discounts and other competitive tricks you intend to use. Through communication, marketing helps your business become a market leader. 3. Marketing Is an Effective Way of Engaging Customers It is important for your business to engage its customers. Marketing is a tool to keep the conversation going. Engaging customers is different from pushing your offers. Engaging involves furnishing your customers with relevant information about your products and your business as well. It’s all about creating fresh content. Tell your customers what they don’t know. Let it be interesting, helpful and worth their time. Social media is one of the best platforms where you can engage your customers. Some organizations use short videos and other humor-laden tricks to engage their customer base. By engaging your customers, marketing gives them a sense of belonging. 4. Marketing Helps to Build and Maintain the Company’s Reputation The growth and life span of your business is positively correlated to your business’s reputation. Hence, it’s fair to say your reputation determines your brand equity. A majority of marketing activities are geared towards building the brand equity of the company. Your business’s reputation is built when it effectively meets the expectations of its customers. Such a business is considered a responsible member of the community. The customers become proud to be associated with your products. Businesses/marketers use effective communication, branding, PR and CSR strategies to ensure that a business’s reputation is maintained. 5. Marketing Helps to Boosts Sales Marketing utilizes different ways to promote your products or services. Once a product has been advertised, it’s already on the radar and this increases your chances of selling it. Customers may want to try your products or services and this will trigger a purchase decision. When customers are happy about your products or services, they become your brand ambassadors without your knowledge. They will spread the word and your sales will start to increase. Ensure you offer high-quality products and services to complement your marketing efforts. 6. Marketing Aids in Providing Insights About Your Business and what it offers Every business marketer needs to understand the need for targeting the right audience. However, you must have the right content to share with your audience. Your marketing strategies can help you establish what business messaging will convince the target audience. At this point, you have to test different messages and see what works. Once you have tested different sets of messaging on the target audience, you will find a viable baseline for your marketing efforts. It acts as a metric and provides the insight needed to make you avoid guesswork. 7. Marketing Helps Your Business to Maintain Relevance All business owners and marketers need to understand the need for disrupting a potential consumer’s opinion about other products. But don’t make a mistake of taking this chance for granted. Most businesses assume that they will always remain the client’s favorite brand because the client has never complained. This is a wrong assumption. You need to find ways to remain at the top of the client’s list of options. Every relationship needs to be maintained. Marketing helps your business to maintain a good relationship with customers by making you remain relevant. Don’t focus on gaining new customers before addressing the need to retain the present ones. Marketing Strategies? It is becoming more obvious by the day that businesses which want to remain competitive will need to up their game when it comes to marketing. Effective marketing can be approached with the following methods 1: Digital and Social Media Marketing Nowadays, businesses are being careful about what type of marketing strategies they invest in. When you have a limited marketing budget, it is important that you spend it wisely to make the most off your money. Marketing through social media is one of the most versatile and cost-effective strategies that businesses can use to reach their target audience and boost sales over time. If you run a small or medium scale business in this day and age and you do not have a ‘’strong’’ social media presence, then you’re on a long thing. I can tell you for free that you are a step backward. 2: Use of Influencers Influencers are people with the ability to influence potential buyers of a product or service by promoting or recommending it due to their high number of followers and social media presence. There are people/organizations that have the power to influence a lot of prospective buyers and customers about a product or service. Just imagine someone like Davido, or let’s say Pastor Adeboye or a Tinubu comes out to tell people to patronize a particular product or service, such product or service is as good as sold out. You may not be able to afford or connect with big influencers to influence the sales of your product or service but the one you know or can connect with can do something. For example, you know someone with so much followers on social media, or someone who belongs to a group or association with so many members, or someone who runs an organisation that brings hundreds of people together constantly. 3: Referrals Simply put, referral marketing is spreading the word about a product or service through a business' existing customers. Referral marketing (also known as word-of-mouth marketing) is a powerful tactic and one of the best marketing drivers for sales and conversion. Referral marketing is exactly what it sounds like: a person telling another person about a product, leading to the purchase of that product due to the recommendation. Referral marketing works because potential customers trust the opinions of “real people” more than they trust traditional advertising and that is why you have to make sure that your existing customers are satisfied with the services you render so it can be easy for them to refer it to others. 4: Discounts and Promotions Offering discounts and promotions the right way for your business can be a powerful weapon in your conversion arsenal to drive customer patronage and loyalty. The fact is that there are multiple businesses that offer the same products or services as yours, so, you have to find ways of making it look like your customers are gaining something special when they patronize you. You can introduce promos at the slightest opportunity – this works magic. But hey, be careful not to go about it hazardously so it doesn’t become unprofitable. 5: signage signage for your business is integral to brand identity. It helps to enforce that strong statement about what your business stands for, how it should be perceived, what it represents. It may also communicate all necessary contact details. It’s very important for businesses with facilities to have them branded as that serves as on-the-go signage. it’s equally very important for businesses with a physical space to have a sign board. What more? Marketing is very important for ‘’our’’ businesses. The content of this article is one that I personally need to implement more on the businesses I run because, it allows businesses to maintain long-lasting and ever-present relationships with their audience. It is not a one-time fix; it is an ongoing strategy that helps businesses flourish. Gboye Daniel IG: gboyedaniel 24th October, 2019

Great idea - as this is actually one of the few businesses which promote a healthier lifestyle. People are increasingly conscious about eating healthy, so this is a growing market. I'm guessing you're looking to grow something like Nuli. For your budget, I'm also guessing that you already have a space on a high-traffic area, and it probably isn't a very large space. Your ideal location is a crowded space with high foot traffic where people are in a buying mood, and where they are likely to get thirsty. Like a small stand in a shopping centre or a modern market. If my assumptions are right, and location is sorted, then you probably won't have enough for a relaxation area like Nuli. You probably need a set up where people can grab fresh smoothies/juices on the go. One of the things you have to think about is whether you will have space for a sink to wash/peel fruit or will you wash, peel and refrigerate them before taking them to your site?
