Fast Food Business
The fast-food business is one of the most lucrative businesses in Nigeria to start with a small capital. The fact is there is no one who doesn’t eat. We all need food to fuel our system at one point or the other. One might argue about those who make their own food; especially breakfast, but is it all the time? Even those who love to cook or cook for a living have at one point eaten outside.
You might eat breakfast at home before work or school, what then happens to lunch? For a city like Lagos, which happens to be the most populous state in the country, the fast food business is one of the most common businesses you will see around. It is the kind of business you can start with 20000 naira or more. You can actually start a mini restaurant and start making money from it. You can also deliver to companies, thereby saving them the stress of going out to eat during breaks.
Real Estate Business
The real estate business is another business you can start in Nigeria with little or no amount of money. In this digital age, all you need to become a real estate agent is your mobile and intuition.
