Going around places like the Imo State University front gate and many other Nigerian tertiary institutions, you will be really startled at the number of photocopy depots, printing outlets, photography spots and so many others in the school.
This is because the businesses are mainly managed by the students for the students. They need such small businesses to combine their studies effectively with funding themselves.
I will show you how you can start a computer business center successfully in Nigeria and also invest the minimum budget while making the best of profits.
Things Needed To Statst A Computer Businness Center In Nigeria
- A good printer: You will need to print documents like the NYSC data, JAMB data and so on. A printer comes in handy. Printers are not so expensive and you can get a good one for as low as
- A good modem: For modems, I prefer the universal ones or I get to crack them later. However, you can still get an Airtel, MTN, Glo or any other modem as your choice will differ. I got my own universal modem for only N3,500 on Konga and I got the Airtel modem I use now for N8,000. I wonder why universal modems are cheaper...Lol.
- A good standby generator: You can consider combining with someone who has one if you cannot afford this yet. I don't think Tiger generators are upto
- A photocopying machine: This is optional, as the photocopying business is also a unique and lucrative one. You can get them on Konga too.
- Other accessories like the USB, flash, tables, chairs, canopy and any other stuff you will most likely use.
You can also get a fridge so you can sell cool drinks and water to your customers while you do your business.
Where Can You Get These Equipment
- Online: The trend of online shopping is here to stay and so you can rely on them. There are so many stores where you can get these equipment such as Konga, Jumia, Jiji, etc.
- Markets: Almost all the markets in Nigeria house these products and you can walk into anyone of your choice today to pick them at affordable rates. Only be sure to avoid being cheated.
- Retail stores: There are so many retail stores and supermarkets where you can walk in to pick your required accessories. They don't have to be bought one place.
- From individuals: You can see people who have some of these products for sale, whether fairly used (second hand) or new and purchase from them. They will be more avoidable. Go for the best and avoid stolen products because of future complications.
