Business idea I thought about today - Start a laundry service somewhere in Lagos or Abuja (Or other metropolis-like city). In this case, the proprietor offers to pick up dirty washing from customers locations (for a fee of course), and also deliver them after the laundry has been done. This business will be aimed at busy professionals, people living in high-traffic areas who attend  functions and need their clothes drycleaned / laundered professionally. Maybe young, single guys or guys who have working girlfriends. . . Professionals, "big men" who attend a lot of functions, etc.

Fees could be comparable with other services in the area, but with a standard collection/delivery charge varying with location. For example Ikeja : N200, Ogba N250 etc. . . If properly advertised, having more than one client in one location would fetch additional revenue.

Of course a lot of research would have to be carried out before this, but I think it is an idea well worth considering. I've got an exam in the morning so I'll let you expand on the idea :-)

For those interested in investing money in fish farming but do have the funds required for capital construction,
or don't want to hassles connected with construction, I can get a  you a lease of a farm with in modern area of iba
off the new dual carriage iyana iba - lasu road. The farm has a three bedroom bungalow as farm house, fully fenced,
borehole, hatchery tanks and 10 production ponds.
Please note the farm is functionally but this lease is intended to utilise the full capacity of farm so you would only be
leasing production ponds not the whole farm at generous terms. This opprtunity is also for those who attended fish
farming seminars but haven't be able to practise yet. This trial could prove to you if fish farming is lucrative for investment.
For further inquires you can me on 08062746247 or email: duchilocks@gmail.com, i will mail the picture of site.

hmmm, mine's for the creative minded fellas. i started my business of hand-made greetings card last december season. i opted to raise around 10,000 ngn just to keep my pocket fat for the celebration. this turned out to be lucrative than expected. well, i'm now dreaming of making occeeeaanograpy a house hold name. i sold out 400 cards on valentine making around 40,000. now i had the big dream of investing 400,000 for the christmas season, hoping to go walk into the bank with a fat bag now this time. if you are good in artistc work, the sky is your limit ( though nothing comes easy). just keep your eyes on already-made hand-mades. I do not dublicate peoples work; i buy ideas and add to mine. i'll still be able to show samples of my work.

Re: You Have Money And You Need Business Ideas? by preneur(m): 11:57am On Jun 07, 2008
Lack of business ideas is actually why 8 out of 10 start up business fail. I believe, as an entrepreneur, if you really want to be a successful one, business ideas should be paramount. More so, it is actually easy to come by them, the only impediment being that alot of people fail to recognise the power of their subconscious mind. Probably they feel that the preaching of Napoleon Hill (Think and Grow Rich), Zig Ziglar, Wallace D. Wattles (Thought Vibration) are unnecesary, or worst still, a mirage.

In life, people who are successful have always, consciously or unconsciously, made it a dominating thought in them, be it in business, career, or craft. Then when the opportunity comes, they had an IDEA of what to do. Your idea is your dream, your aspirations and all that you want to become.

For all aspiring entrepreneurs, personal development is one first area you must work on to be successful. Ideas are everywhere, needs are everywhere. I can bet you that if you have money and have no idea about the business you want to do, you could as well be someone who will not make a good businessman, husband, investor, insert more.

The only reason why people lack ideas is that they don't want to think. They want the easiest way of making money; buying stocks and relaxing in their house popping champagne while it grows, playing casino. They are mentally lazy people. I am saying that buying stock is bad. All i am saying that imaging you are able to come up with a unique idea, start it up, even if you don't have money, with determination and desire to succeed. Then it grows, you become an employer. The nation's economy changes just because of you. Your stock will never reduce unemployment rate.

PRENEUR, you have right! Many people can get money easily but most you must work hard to get the moneys. Many people think they can get the money only to say I HAVE AN GOD BUSINESS IDEA! I dont understand these people. You have maybe god idea but thats not enough. Idea is always first step to realise. That business what we are starting to do there in Nigeria we planned for month. These is only my view!


Thanks

Re: You Have Money And You Need Business Ideas? by plawson(m): 9:00pm On Jun 20, 2008
As a way of giving out things- coz am a philan,
i love giving out freebies. here are some real
bizness that can fetch INSTANT cash at no expense.

letme know your take on them,

“All great structure you see today including those of tomorrow where mental pictures of yesterday”

It’s true that one can really make it big in Nigeria, anywhere, anytime irrespective of the instabilities around. The U.S economy is thriving today because her citizens are engaged in entrepreneurship/meaningful developments.

The early bird gets the worm first. Although people are making pure water business, plastic chairs, fast food, etc but it is those who started the venture first that made the real money that the business had to offer. Now they are into other major business lines while whiles they have leave their discoveries for copycats to ponder on. These people are trailblazers, they initiate things. Be a trailblazer today and be the first to start any of the following: -

1] DAILY SAVINGS: Daily savings better-called contribution (akawo) is one of the best ways to truly do your own thing and still profit from it. I have met someone who employed other in this venture although it is risky but the gain far outweigh the risk and there’s always a ready market for you plus the benefits of commission, bank interest, investing opportunities, etc.

2] OFFICE SERVICE FOR HIRE: most companies are short staffed either due to temporary relieve or otherwise and sometimes require external support for their operations. You can offer to do the office cores/secretarial duties for an agreed fee; I bet you if you know your pigeons you’ll live like oil consultants.

3] WEBSITE DESIGNING: This you know too well. I heard of a guy who made N1.4million alone five years ago in two seminars just by telling people how to design/create a website talk less of designing it for consumption. This venture although there is perceived proliferations of quacks…just ensure you know your guts the rest are up for grads.

4] DAY CARE CENTERS: This venture is another lucrative enterprise been over looked most especially by women. Most women’s reasons for not starting this line are usually flimsy and irrelevant. Time and events has never allowed single parent to care adequately for their wards, if you offer to do this professionally- they drop their children off on their way to work or so while you take care of them until they return at noon/evening to pick them up- you will be rewarded handsomely.

5] EVENTS PLANNER/ORGANIZER: Planning/organizing events are the cheapest, popular and most respected way to make money while you do your own thing owing to the fact that we (Nigerians) like enjoyment. Ask Opa Williams, Ali Baba, Basket Mouth, AY live. People have been making a living from this line you can start yours now! Its not too late and they are still people waiting to patronize you…you hear.

6] PUBLIC SPEAKING: Most people claim to be speakers but in reality they are just mere talkers and borists. Am not making mouths you need to hear me speak most people have wondered where I get my confidence and expertise. If you want to do this get professional training first. For each event I anchor am paid not less than N50, 000 you can multiply this to the number of events you alone can anchor in a month.

7] CASH RECOVERY SERVICES: In just 10 minutes I got N20, 000 just by assisting a friend to ‘block’ a chief that was owing him good money more than a year now. Nigeria is filled with debtors-although they have the money and won’t want to pay unless they are been forced to do so. If you can help creditors to use this professional coercion of your to recover their money they will be grateful and give you some percentage. Banks and other institutions are in dire need of this service.

8] HOME TEACHERS SERVICES: Owing to the degrading standards of schools and tertiary institutions, parents/guardians are now looking for easy and convenient ways their wards could study while they physically monitor the performances. If you will offer to teach the children of ………educational subjects at their respective homes for an agreed fee, the number of homes you cover each month multiplied by how much you charge will determine how rich you’ll be. Ensure you provide quality.

9] CELEBRITIES PAPARAZZI: In this line you look for a way to snap or get the pictures of celebrities and very important personalities and in turn sell it to magazines/newspapers houses. You may add a little news of this people if you know them very well.

10] GOCCERY/SHOPPING SERVICES: You won’t believe that a guy left his promised and secured job in banking just to start this venture. How did he get his inspiration? He went to shop for his pregnant wife only to reach the gate of his house and discover that one of the most important things the wife needed was forgotten he said he would have paid someone else to
get the item for him. On second thought he realize that he might not be the only one in this dilemma he went on to form and enterprise around the rest like they said became or was history. You too can, what are you waiting for?

11] PROFESSIONAL GHOSTWRITERS: Don’t be scare am not talking about ghost here. Am talking about ghostwriters- do you know that most people do not write books themselves they get others to write their thoughts while they concentrate on other things and for doing this you can make just enough money as a billionaire. Examples are Bill Gates, Hillary Clinton, and Barrack Obama’s book. You can contact most of the notable people in Nigeria to write for them and experience what am sharing here.

12] PET-GROOMING SERVICES: Do you know that they are lot of pets not adequately cared for around? Not because there’s no money or time. Well. It may be because of time but another thing is that the people involve do not know how to do it professionally. If you can get your expertise on this act you can truly be one of the richest millionaire among your age groups.

PS. i have over 150 business ideas one can start-up on a shoestring budget,
but untill i know what u r doing with these, i may not post anoda, GO START SOMETHING!
Re: You Have Money And You Need Business Ideas? by DDMoses(m): 10:55am On Jun 21, 2008

Re: You Have Money And You Need Business Ideas? by jagz: 11:19am On Jun 21, 2008
its interesting when folks talk biz. however, i found out that in my experience when people and societal needs are primary in your mind, it becomes easier to provide needs that would make good money for you.
seemingly "uneducated" folks make a lot more by "filling" the gap. i am an aquaculturist among other things, i raise a unit of catfish for as much as 140 naira. one dirty looking young man buys from me at 320naira per kg and sells at 600naira. he makes 280naira in less than 24 hours while i made 180naira in 6 months. hmmn, i am starting a catfish retail business thats decent and lush and i am even buying from other farmers. i think we should all think proactively.

Re: You Have Money And You Need Business Ideas? by ilekky(m): 8:06pm On Jul 09, 2008
This has been a terrible proplem for people but the best thing you can do when you have money is to allow it working for your.You can contact a good stock broker and put just 50% of the money on shares and stock at the secondary market not public offer and the remaining business on some internet businesses that can make you some good money.
I will advise that you get some training on how to buy domaim names,host websites and doing some other businesses line providing online payment for people.With these,you are on your way to the promised land.

Re: You Have Money And You Need Business Ideas? by bolaoni(m): 3:37am On Jul 21, 2008
Don't know why it took me so long to find my way here. shocked

Great jobs done by you guys. This is wonderful.

My own thought about this is that, ideas without the required knowledge may be dangerous, just as
Kazey said in his earlier post. A lot of people are more concerned about the money and not the
requirements/needed knowledge, which is not good.

Now the truth of the matter is that there are millions of opportunities surrounding us that we can all start
with little or no money. What we are required to do, is to shine our eyes and we will see them. Businesses
spring from needs and when we meet other people's needs, they will gladly pay us.

Let's always ask ourselves what needs we can meet in our environment and we will NEVER run out of ideas
to work with.

Will share more later wink
Re: You Have Money And You Need Business Ideas? by plawson(m): 10:50am On Jul 21, 2008

to start a business. its not really easy as one thinks.
Re: You Have Money And You Need Business Ideas? by larez(m): 8:38pm On Jul 25, 2008
Where are the big Nigerian Industrialists? Do they only believe in Oyinbo? There are many Nigerians with huge ideas and market strategies but cannot get funded. These guys who have gained much from the Country should feel a sense of responsibility towards sustaining growth. Nigeria is being left further behind, and the idea of only being concerned about one's personal growth is a travesty when you can reach out to bright minds to assist them in achieving their dreams.

Re: You Have Money And You Need Business Ideas? by NaijaEcash(m): 10:05am On Jul 30, 2008
themac:

i need ideas on a website idea
You already have an idea of what websites are like. I guess you need an idea of the niche to concentrate on. Well as you must have found out, there is no magic formula anywhere, it takes time and much effort to build something like Nairaland.

My suggestion is this, list down 5 different areas of interest in your life. I encourage you to start about 5 different blogs (use Blogger ie mysite(dot)(dot)com). Each one should focus on different things you are passionate about. e.g. Blog number
             1. Focus on your hobby.
             2. Focus on your profession or career.
             3. Focus on the thing you are angry about - Maybe injustice in Nigeria
             4. Focus on your pet project e.g. your social club
             5. Focus on yourself e.g. an online personal diary

Start writing on each of the blogs everyday. Within the space of one month, you will discover that you are more passionate about a particular blog than others. Feedbacks in terms of comments will also show you if you have a willing audience.
Once you discover the niche you are passionate about, then you can work more on it while you discard the other blogs. I know this works because I have tried it. My major blog Nigerian Entrepreneur is just about 4+ months old and it is already having a Google Pagerank of 3. That was achieved without a single paid advertisement. You can check it out by clicking my signature
I got so much encouragement from Philomena's blog http://www.gardenersdaughter.(dot)com/ the blog has a minimum of 350,000 page views per month. That is quite an achievement bearing in mind that she started the blog just as a hobby.  I do hope I have been helpful.
Re: You Have Money And You Need Business Ideas? by esoneek(m): 2:39pm On Aug 10, 2008
well i think we are talking too much story on this topic ,
wot i believe is the most important thing in starting a business is COURAGE,
take courage , go in and learn the lessons, u cant learn to ride a bicycle by listening to lectures
I believe one should just jump into any business that interests u (though commit little capital, just as much as u can afford to loose at the start) and u'll find ur way out.
You cant invest stocks without putting your money on the table , its good to do enough research but at a point, one must dive in,,,.,, lets go there.
Of all virtues, Courage remains most important for upon it genius and all other virtues rests.

Re: You Have Money And You Need Business Ideas? by gbengaijot(m): 9:52pm On Aug 14, 2008
Except you win the lottery or you happen to be a recipient of a will, its unlikely that someone with huge cash will need business ideas.

My reason is that the person must be a fast thinking person to have generated the money from an initial idea anyway.


However, if you have really heavy cash, its best to invest in properties. Its the safest in terms of appreciation for now.


@naijacutee, you are right, this thread needs pruning. I see a lot of post on "investing in internet business". Except you are prepared to start the next DotCom company that will take the world by storm, YOU DO NOT require so much money to start internet business, moreso, its not about the money, its about the dedication . infact, apart from forex, no internet business requires more than $500 to start. Moreso, Forex require due diligence and i don;t advise a novice to invest in it!
