Kabarka, good job!!! The business is lucrative but that is if and when you get a few things right. I have gone through the thread and I fear that there is a lot to learn and I hope new entrants to the biz will exercise enough patience to learn before starting. It is possible to toil and sell a lot of bags in a month and still not make any profit. It happened to me when I started off and I wished I had seen anyone to advise me. It is good that producers are becoming more open minded now. I tried to visit a factory near me then and the owner was very angry and accused me of espionage of all crimes. I decided later when my biz started doing well never to hide information from beginners. A few tips: Look for high-yielding nylon. I will never accept anything below 23 bags per kilo. I also insist on being given credit facilities and have vowed never to violate trust in area of payment. Check over-loading by sales staff. My biz was almost wiped out once by over-loading. One big van was over-loaded by 154 bags the day God helped me catch the thieving team. Learn a lot about your vans and their parts. When I started, my mechanic rushed a four-bedroom house in less than six months due to my ignorance. I forced myself to learn and my woes ended then. Know your route very well and get police, FRSC, VIO friends on the route or your boys will steal all your money claiming they used it to settle the road traffic kings. Do not over-trust any staff. Have an arrangement that ensures your vans and machines are repaired fast so you won't keep customers waiting. Buy durable truck brands. For long hauls. mercedes benz products are good. Do watch fuel use and have a good idea how many litres you really need. Ikotun to Island for instance can take 15 litres with a mercedes benz 608 carrying about 450 bags. You work out details or your boys will start excess diesel sales biz. Let your trucks leave early. Mine all leave before 5am so as to beat hold up and all manner of traffic officials. Now, I operate more at night and have customers who pay in money to my account and get supplied at night. Breakdowns are low at night since everywhere is cool and there are no hold ups. The list is long but whoever wants to venture must do some training in another factory. It is very important. 2 Likes |

| Re: Pure Water Biz(Discuss) by madamL(f): 2:23pm On Jul 22, 2010 |
Kabarka, I will hang around and chip in my bit once in a while. You are doing a great job. @wonderb. No problems, it is good you are not planning to jump in like I did. It cost me millions, at least the money my mechanic used to build a 4-bedroom flat, before I sought for knowledge with all my strength. You can check out my website www.livcord.bloombiz.com. My email address is livcord@yahoo.com. |

Madam L, This is to thank you and Karbaka for your openness to develop this growing industry. If we have majority of people like you in this country i believe we will not face most of the problem we are facing now. I will get across to you through your address. |

| Re: Pure Water Biz(Discuss) by AGARIfoods: 4:37am On Jul 24, 2010 |
madam L: WELL SPOKEN MADAM AT LEAST IF PRODUCERS CAN GIVE THEIR EXPERIENCES LIKE WE DO IT WILL GO A LONG WAY IN HELPING NEW ENTRANTS AND BRING ABOUT MORE PARTNERSHIP AND BETTER WAYS OF DOING THIS BUSINESS - THIS IS THE REASON WHY THIS BUSINESS DOESN'T GROW BEYOND ITS FOUNDING LOCALITY. AT THE BEGINNING WE FACED THE SAME PROBLEM OF BEING ACCUSED AS SPIES JUST TO VISIT A NEARBY FACTORY AND LEARN THE PROCESS THOUGH WE LEARNT THE HARD WAY AND BECAME OUR OWN MASTERS. THANKS MADAM FOR THIS BEAUTIFUL CONTRIBUTION AND HOW'S THE BIZ GOING? HAVE YOU ATTENDED MEETING LATELY? |
| Re: Pure Water Biz(Discuss) by AGARIfoods: 4:52am On Jul 24, 2010 |
@KABARKA, WE SALUTE YOU COURAGE AND KEEP THE KNOWLEDGE GOING AND FLOWING, DON'T WORRY WE ARE BEHIND YOU TO CHIP IN ONCE IN A WHILE. WE HAVE BEEN AWAY FROM THIS FORUM TO SEEK MORE KNOWLEDGE IN VENTURING INTO ANOTHER LINE THOUGH FOLLOWING CLOSELY AND SEEING YOUR GOOD WORK. HOWEVER AND VERY IMPORTANT, NEW ENTRANTS SHOULD TRY AT ALL MEANS TO SEEK PRACTICAL KNOWLEDGE EVEN IF IT MEANS PARTNERING FOR A WHILE LIKE A MONTH TO THREE MONTHS BEFORE VENTURING FULLY ON THEIR OWN. THERE IS GREAT DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SETTING UP THIS BUSINESS AND THE REAL PRACTICAL ASPECT SOME OF WHICH CANNOT AND WILL NEVER BE PUT HERE. YOU RISE AND FALL EASILY WITH THIS BUSNIESS IF NOT PROPERLY MANAGED. MADAM L SAID SAME THING AND FUNNY ENOUGH WOMEN ARE BEGINNING TO CHAMPION THIS BUSINESS AND IT SEEMS TO BE CHALLENGING BUT WORKING WELL. SINCE BEGINNING OF THIS YEAR A WOMAN IS GRADUALLY PICKING OURS UP TO SPEED AND THE LEVEL OF SUCCESS IS OVERWHELMING. ONCE AGAIN A GOOD JOB YOU ARE DOING, KABARKA. REGARDS. |

| Re: Pure Water Biz(Discuss) by Hindsight(f): 6:07pm On Jul 24, 2010 |
@Madam L thank you for the insightful article. You mentioned using trucks for long hauls. what do you suggest for a starter i was informed that it is best to start with a ford and as business grows one can add other vehicles. Any input will be highly welcome. By the way am also a female wanting to venture into purewater (and MAYBE bottled water). |
| Re: Pure Water Biz(Discuss) by madamL(f): 7:39pm On Jul 24, 2010 |
my sister Hindsight, what vehicle you start with depends on where you intend to sell.The small Fords are mainly for selling around your locality and can only carry 250 bags max. If you plan to extend your market to distances up to twenty kilometres then there is need to carry more at a time. I was using LTs at first and then each will run three trips to a far distance and sell only 750 bags during all the three trips but with my MBs, three trips will mean 1200 bags minimum per truck. It saves diesel and no one wants to be constantly out on the road so if you can haul a lot with fewer trips why not? There are some truck brands that have some very troublesome parts notably ball joint. With such trucks, you will be at LASTM.A office every time since the truck will be stuck on a spot if the ball joint pulls. You also must ensure that the van has flat springs, do not accept anything with spiral springs for carrying water. MBs are rugged and can always get themselves back. With good customisation it has a good clearance from the ground. Just decide where you want to sell and how many you want to sell in a day and get advice from a good mechanic. Seek out a producer near you and go do attachment. it will save you millions, believe me I am speaking from very bitter experience. Be very very careful with what vans you buy, that can make or mar everything. 1 Like |

@Madam L, thanks a mill for the swift response. I am on a tight budget so i have no choice but to start with a smaller vehicle. The ppl in my area who are into the bizness make it out to be a breeze. Me sef have been made to believe that it's easy and the only aspect that i think will be challenging is how to break into the market, as there are a few which are kind of dominating the market. But from ur article i will surely train at an established place for at least a month. Am planning to start by selling a maximum of 500 bags per day and increase it to an acceptable level. I live in kaduna and it seems there is stil a lot of potential in the bizness. |
