no I'm not driving it myself ,

I only start driving it sometimes when i dont have job at hand after corona lockdown 2020.
What you should know is the right time for maintenance, like the underneath , wheel greasing, hub bearing change/greasing, engine oil services (3weeks), door bearing change, hydraulic refil, clutch plate rebinding, clutch pot rubber services against licking of hydraulic.

Importantly don't forget to always check your gear oil gage , banjo oil seal lickage , gear oil refill every two week ...
Remember the gear is the life of this bus and it very expensive to buy should it damage..
I repeat don't play or forget gear oil refill, check whether any lickage underneath when it pack so u can change the banjo oil seal, or the casing itself..
Naa only gear damage can kill ur moral in the business..

Other factor is you should pray against accident where there is a casualty

U better u give someone to be a manager for u who have the bus as a business , or like a mechanic, panel beater, or even conductor to manage the driver and the bus.

Definitely, venturing into business is great stuff, but the person must know what they are doing and what they want and have a stomach for accepting losses.

Can't count How many times I've been battered.

Hello, men in the house.
I'm planning on investing some money into the danfo business world.
But,I still haven't gotten any tangible info from most of the researches I've made.

I know there are a lot involved in it but,I want to know roughly, the total amount of money one needs to hold on to, before venturing into the business.
With the purchase of the bus, maintenance and perhaps government clearance.
Can a million naira be able to possibly get all this things sorted out??


For a fact I won't be the one driving it,how much returns do you think the driver should drop for me everyday?

Candid advice needed.

why don't you start with korope first or uber where it'll be more easier for you. you can link your vehicle with Uber so that they'll get a drive for you. all you need is just a legal backing and you can also put it up for weekly delivery. that'll be better for you or you can decide to put it up for hire purchase.

My advice, if you won't drive the bus yourself, don't start it.
Why? I did transportation business for years.

Hi,

Where's your location?

I'll need some help with contacting the agents that buy vehicles from Benin Republic.

Thanks

Yusufisraelj:


You see this depends on where you stay? Here in my place, you should be looking at #750,000 bkos of the demographics things are not expensive here and auto delears deal directly from Benin republic, so they buy the vehicle at 450 or so and sell at 700 while the 50K takes care of contingencies and the clearance.

Drivers license will be taken care of by the driver, while you take care of vehicle particulars until he remits as agreed that's if you would want to give over the vehicle.

But your location seriously informs cost. But the beautiful thing is if done right you have nothing to worry about as regards profit.

Are you the one to drive by yourself? If you are not the one to drive, is better you give the money to help motherless baby. Because drivers enjoy what the owners can't spend.
Re: How Much Do I Need To Start A Danfo Business?? by ashantitope: 8:47pm On Jan 12, 2021
Firstly a million can't be enough because you can't easily see varagon or T4 at that price secondly am not discouraging you about the business but you can't gain from it if you are not doing it by your self I have like 3 before I sold them off one after the other just because am working and expecting money but I received story everyday

I'm a fan of transport business as my side hustle, funding is currently limiting me. But my candid advise is , if you can't handle the business by yourself, don't venture into it

@Stacy I’m also thinking of starting a transportation business and I’m a female. I think the most important thing is to get someone you trust to drive the Danfo....Even if you are a woman they can still listen but you need to become like Margret Thatcher and be a Iron Lady.

Transportation business is high risk especially if you are not the one directly handling and managing it - keke, danfo or uber. It can run you down in a few months into the business.

Nigerian commercial motorists operating on hired purchase arrangements are the worst property managers and untrust-worthy fellows. It's takes grace for you not to commit murder and suicide when dealing with them.

Your best bet is to run it yourself. Keke, Danfo or Uber are all profitable. It depends on your capital outlay to support it. For example,
Danfo is about 950k
Uber Corolla, a very good first grade tokunbo 1.2m

Keke is about 750k.

I have known some acquaintance who started from Keke and added danfo in a few months.

The issue with danfo is the stress, not everyone doing uber can do danfo. as regards the stress "agbero" wahala. If u are not the troublesome type, you are going to find it difficult, troubles from passengers, agberos, name it, it will frustrate you, but that's if you are driving it yourself.

Danfo 950k? Certainly this your tokunbo danfo will require a lot of work before it can be engaged for transport business. An extra budget will be required. Even tokunbo golf 3 no longer sell for 1m.


Uber Tokunbo Corolla 1.2m? This is simply unrealistic sir whether from Cotonou or not except you are buying a stolen tokunbo corolla.

My dear, Transportation business is lucrative but stress filled and full of risks, especially in Lagos. If you really want to go into it, don't let anyone discourage you. There is no worthy venture without risks. I would just advise that...
1. Try to know as much as you can about the transport business.
2. You get a trustworthy person to drive it if you aren't driving it yourself.
3. Contact a lawyer to draft a proper agreement between you and the driver so that you can be covered in case anything occurs.
4. Continue to ask advice from people who are already in the business.
I wish you success in your business ventures.



Ps.. I am a lawyer and you can consult with me on anything.
