[DONT MISS THIS] Looking for a Job?! - 100 self-employment options for you!

Looking for a job?!

There are a lot of employment opportunties you can setup in Nigeria and make a good profit. Some of them can be done on the internet while others can be done offline. In the business world today though, all business can be represented online. There are people who are already doing them and making a living from it. You too can do them and add your own style to it.

Once you decided on which one you want to do, the next thing is getting started. Do a market research and feasibility study. You need to understand what you want to venture into and get feelers from people who are already doing the same thing or similar things. Consider expenses such as your rent and utility bills carefully too, manage that properly. Make a business plan. You may register your company. A business name or a Limited Liability Company registration would suffice. Get a Tax Identification Number (TIN) for filing your taxes. Open a bank account and get started. Remember to keep proper records. Do not forget advert and sign fees for your signboards and posters, and local government fees.

The key ingredient to a successful business is the value proposition - "what problem are you solving". Successful businesses provide something that meet the "needs" of people. It therefore goes without saying that your primary role is to meet the needs of your customers first. The biggest economies have a large cluster of Small and Medium Scale Enterprises (SMEs). You could even get access to loans from certain banks and government agencies!!! Why not start today and join in the next crux of Nigerian entrepreneurs.

There are some schemes on ground to encourage such such as YOUWIN, Access Bank W community (for women), Fidelity Managed SME etc. But the real joker is the ability to utilize creativity in the absence of any institutional support.
