1. Fast-Food, Mini Food Stand or Food Delivery Business

“There is no sincere love than the love of food.” ~ George Bernard Shaw

There is one important fact about food. That is, food is one thing that human beings cannot do without. So no matter the state of things in the nation, no matter the financial condition of people as families and individuals, they must eat.

That makes the market an ever-green market.

Another interesting reality is that people are becoming too busy to do the actual cooking by themselves. Many workers leave the house too early and do not eat break fast at home. More so, most of the families that eat three square meals per day, do not cook three times a day. People buy cooked food to help themselves every day.

Therefore, if you know how to cook very well and you have as little as 50k, you may consider setting up a small food stand. There, you can begin to prepare fast foods and even the real foods. With time, you can introduce food delivery services where you offer to deliver to offices, houses and so on.

But to succeed in this business, you must be hygienic and very good at preparing delicious meals because most people don’t joke with what they eat.

You may choose to cook and sell all kinds of meals or focus on just one or two that you are very good at.

From your 50k, buy cooking utensils, food stuffs and ingredients for cooking. Also secure a stand in a busy or industrial area. Find an alluring name and design banner advert to inform potential customers about the mouth-watering delicacies you are offering. You can also leverage the use of social media platforms, like Instagram and TikTok, to promote your business.

2. Liquid Soap Business

There’s no shame about any honest calling; don’t be afraid of soiling your hands, there’s plenty of soap to be had. ~ Charles Spurgeon.

As long as human beings bath, wear clothes, cook and eat food, drive cars and so on, soap would remain an essential commodity.

The simple reason is because the human body gets dirty and needs washing; the clothes get dirty and need washing; the dishes get dirty and needs washing and the list continues.

Nowadays, people do most of their washings with liquid soaps. And you can imagine the millions of people washing different items every minute of the day. The market for soap is so huge and the demand for it continues to grow with every passing day. So much so that companies are unable to keep up with orders.

If you have 50k or even less, consider starting liquid soap business because it is a fast moving business that will give you returns quickly.

Don’t say you don’t know how to make liquid soap in this Internet age. Just make a few YouTube videos your companion for few days and you are a champ at Making Business liquid soap.

You can start with Making Business laundry and washing soaps. Publicize your business on your social media handles and leverage on the power of the Internet. Also find big supermarkets, restaurants, bakeries, caterers, offices, and become their supplier.

3. Okirika Clothing Business

“Clothing is like eating. You shouldn’t stick to the same menu” ~ Kenzo Takada.

Again, as long as people are alive and sane, they must wear clothes. Because of the economic situation of the country and several other reasons, may people do not go for already-made clothes or foreign wear. They rather go for fairly used clothes, otherwise referred to as Okirika.

The Okirika Clothing business is one business you can start with as low as 20–30k. So you don’t even need all the 50k to get started.

Whether you are a stay-at-home mum looking for a business to start or a graduate looking for a lucrative business to venture into with low capital, the okirika clothing business is for you. You can deal on children jeans and polo, children mix, ladies polo tops, body hugs, bum shorts, and so on.

For this business, you can buy in bales or slots depending on your capital. All you need to get started is your money and one or two contacts. Getting contacts is easy. Just go to the nearest okirika market in your area and connect with the dealers there. For a start, you can book slots of 100 pieces from their bale or buy complete bales through them.

Take them to your own location and sell them off. The sales are always easy and fast because of the durability of the clothes and low price.

4. Charcoal Business

Nigerians are transitioning to alternative sources of energy like charcoal and that is creating businesses across the nation. ~ Mr HD

Because of the high cost of cooking fuel (gas, kerosene) in Nigeria today, many families and companies that cook or bake are scampering for alternative sources of energy. Currently, there is an unusual boom in charcoal business owing to the recent removal of fuel subsidy. The fuel subsidy removal caused an over 300% hike in fuel price from about N135/litre to over N600/litre. The hike in price also affected cooking gas and kerosene.

Because of this hike in price of cooking gas and kerosene, there has been major shift away from them to the use of other alternatives like charcoal and firewood.

The result is an increase in demand which has also lead to an increase in the price of charcoal in keeping with the laws of Economics.

This increase in demand and price of charcoal has made the business of Buying and Sharing charcoal a profitable and lucrative one. With as low as 50k, you can start a charcoal business and start smiling to the bank in a very short period of time.

Who Can you Sell Charcoal to?

Currently, charcoal is being put to a lot of uses and the demand for it is ever on the rise. So if you have up to 50k (or even less) in your account and are thinking of which profitable business you can start, I strongly recommend charcoal business. When you get your stock of charcoal, you can sell to:

• families that use it as an alternative to cooking gas.
• roadside food vendors who use it as a source of fuel for cooking and frying.
• bakeries who use it as a source of fuel for baking bread, meat pie and so on.
• poultry farmers who use it as a source of heat or warmth for their brooding chicks during cold season.
• restaurants and bars.
• suya and bean cake (akara) sellers

With time, you may even start exporting charcoal outside the shores of Nigeria. That’s when you will start Making Business money in hard currencies.

Where to Source Charcoal From?

I know the next question you’d be asking now is where to source charcoal from in commercial quantity. Well, that’s not a problem at all. There are several places in Nigeria that are known for the production of charcoal in commercial quantities both for our local market and for export.

The following are three examples of the major places you can source your charcoal from:

1. SAKI Local Government Area in Oyo State about 2-3hrs from Ibadan.
2. ITESIWAJU Local Government Area in Oyo State approximately 3hrs from Ibadan.
3. ISEYIN Local Government Area also in Oyo State.

Most of the major producers of charcoal only sell in bulk which translates to truck loads. As a beginner, you may need to pair with other buyers to buy and share a full truck load. Or just be buying at wholesale quantities from other dealers till you can afford to order a truck load. And that wouldn’t take time.

5. Home-Tutoring or Coaching Business

“Tutoring is the art of unlocking potential and igniting curiosity.” – Unknown

Home tutoring or coaching business is another lucrative business you can start with very low or no capital depending on the proximity of the venue. Otherwise, the money is need to start this business in Nigeria is just your transport fare and maybe money for snacks.

The reason why home tutoring or coaching business is ever lucrative with increasing demand is because most parents are just too busy to attend to the academic needs of their children at home. Parents are out there trying to make ends meet, and therefore need home tutors to guide their children through assignments and projects.

Another reason why home tutoring business is booming is the terrible security situation in Nigeria. So most parents are unwilling to sent their children to public lesson centers for fear of k!dnapping. Hence, they prefer the tutors to come to the house.

For you to venture into the home tutoring or coaching business, you must be sound academically. You must have a robust understanding of most of the on-demand subjects like Mathematics, Verbal and Quantitative Reasoning, English Language, Basic Science and Technology, Physics, Chemistry, Biology and so on.

6. Oil Perfumes and Jewelries Business

This business is especially for ladies who operate in cities dominated by young people, for example students. Many of those young people want to adorn themselves with jewelries to look good and they want to smell nice too. Many of them are students attending lectures almost on a daily basis. So they want to have different jewelries for virtually every dress. You can imagine the market that creates.

When you have the products in stock, begin to advertise and market them via your social media handles. You can do so with your contacts on WhatsApp, then Facebook and other platforms. Don’t forget to paste adverts in your neighborhood so that people will know that they do not need to go to the market to get these things.

7. Ice Block Production Business

Temperatures can get very high in Nigeria and people will always want to drink something cold. The vendors of Pure Water Distribution , soft drinks and juices are always itinerant and need to cool their ware on the go. So they always have need for ice block.

With your 50,000 naira, you can get the necessary equipment and materials for ice block production business. For example, your 50k can cover the cost of a small local freezer, molds of different sizes, water and electricity.

Once you have all the necessary equipment ready, the next thing to do is to pour water into the molds. Then put them in the freezer and let them cool. Soon, that water will all get frozen and ready for sell to the people in need of them.

Apart from small shops and vendors of Pure Water Distribution and soft drinks, you can sell ice block even to people throwing parties, wedding reception, meetings and so on. Chemist shops and other drug vendors also need ice block for cooling and preserving certain kinds of drugs.

“One cannot think well, love well, sleep well, if one has not dined well.” ~ Virginia Woolf

This is another lucrative business you can start in Nigeria with 50k. You can do it with part of your money and other people’s money. Most people, especially ladies, who are currently doing this business in Nigeria are doing it through a WhatsApp platform.

To begin, you need to form a WhatsApp group and start adding mothers, especially the working class busy ones. Add all the mothers too busy to go to the market to buy foodstuffs by themselves. When they join your group, encourage them to also add their friends.

All you need to do is to decide on a food stuff to share, go to the local market and survey the price. Come back to your group tell them the price after adding the cost of transportation and your profit. Divide the price by the number of interested members and get them to pay up. Once they have all paid for their slots, you gather the money and go to the market to purchase the foodstuff. Share equally to all members that took slots.

Note that there is no limit to the foodstuffs you can buy and share. For example, you can deal on sweet potatoes, yam, tomatoes, salad ingredients, stock fish, smoked fish, and so on.

Popcorn production business is both a low cost and profitable business especially for people doing it in student-dominated areas. So, with your 50k, you have more than enough to start popcorn production business as long as you already have a place to situate the business.

For the business, you will need a cheap popcorn frying box, some nylon bags or containers to package the popcorn. If you choose to produce the popcorn on site, you will need to buy a small camp gas to power your stove. In fact, it is advisable to produce your delicious popcorn on site so that the mouth-watering aroma would be inviting customers to buy from you.

You can also advertise your popcorn online via your social media handles. Put great pictures of your yummy popcorn on your status updates and inform family and friends about your business.

19. Distribute Original Honey

“The sweetness of life lies in usefulness, like honey deep in the heart of a clover bloom.” ~ Laura Ingalls Wilder.

Honey is a very important commodity. It is used for different purposes, especially in the field of medicine. It is also used as an alternative to sugar by diabetics and other people who like to avoid synthetic sugar. More so, honey is put to many other uses including:

• cosmetic industry because it nourishes the skin.
• treatment of victims of fire accidents as it fastens wound healing.
• use in food and beverage industries for making food and snacks.
• professional singers take honey to soothe their throats before performances.

And so on.

Because of the numerous uses of honey, it sells very fast with demands constantly on the rise. If you are selling honey, you will never run out of business.

But to make money in honey distribution business, you must ensure that you source for original honey because most of the things people are selling as honey are adulterated.

If you can be selling original honey from genuine source, you will never lack patronage.

How to Know Original Pure Honey

This is how to know original pure honey that is not adulterated with sugar and other similar substances:

1. Dip a finger into the honey and allow to drop to the ground. If it’s pure honey, it will go down like a thread without breaking.
2. Pour some honey into a glass of water. If it’s pure honey, it will go down to the bottom of the cup without mixing up with the water except you stir it.
3. Dip a match stick into your honey and strike it. If it’s pure honey, the match stick will burn with the honey on it acting as a fuel.
4. Pure honey does not attract ants and insects.

Packaging and Marketing your Honey

When you source pure original honey, you need to package it very well to make it look genuine by getting nice bottles and printing branded stickers or labels.

You can sell your well-packaged honey anywhere. You can market your product by supplying to hospitals, schools, hostels, offices, supermarkets, churches and mosques.

20. Pure Water Distribution Business

Since your budget is 50k, I am not going to bug you with pure water production business. The amount of money you have cannot carry the investment.

I will rather advise you to start a pure water distribution business. In case you don’t know, pure water distribution business is a fast moving and profitable business. The reason is because millions of people consume sachet water every day.

To start this business, you need a small shop, a refrigerator and shelves for the bags of water. Then start purchasing bags of pure water in bulk. That way, you say money and increase your profit margin.

21. Online Marketing and Sales

“Good marketing makes the company look smart. Great marketing makes the customer feel smart.” ~ Joe Chernov

If you have 50k and you are looking for a profitable business to start with it, here’s another idea. Use about 5k to buy an online course that will teach you how to run Facebook/Instagram ads. After learning it, invest another 5k to practice the lessons by running awareness ads to your page.

I know by now you must be asking, “So what’s the business in all of these?”

Here’s the business…

Do some research to discover one or two products that people either consume or use on a daily basis. Go out and look for the major dealers of the products in your locality. Negotiate the price of the products with them and also make a deal with them with respect to helping them to sell their products. When you get home, add your profit to the original price; go back to your page online and start creating content around the products. You can also start running Facebook ads.

Before you run out of your 50k capital, you must have started Making Business sales and Making Business profits. Keep on reinvesting your profit until you have a strong audience and grow big.
