Are you a Nigerian who wants to become an entrepreneur?
Are you stuck because you don’t have the perfect business idea?
Here are some nice business ideas that can kickstart your journey as an entrepreneur in this New Year.
Introduction
Due to the rising unemployment rate, a huge proportion of Nigeria’s youths have turned to self-employment. A big issue faced by the teeming population who want to become self-employed is the dearth of business ideas, hence the issue of overcrowding is prominent with certain business ideas. In this article, we will give a listing of unpopular but creative business ideas that can also be started with little capital.
5 Unpopular Entrepreneur Business Ideas for the Nigerian Market
Food Truck Business
Food vendors are a very common concept in Nigeria, including food hawkers. However, some people are skeptical due to the sometime unhygienic conditions of the environment where the food is served. You can innovate by using trucks to hawk the foods or you could set up the truck at a particular location, this way, you wouldn’t need to pay for rent and business could always be on the move to areas where your services are always needed.
It is not without its disadvantage due to the unsavory state of Nigerian roads in places like Lagos, however in the traffic gridlock, there’s a possibility of making sales.
Homemade Meals Delivery
If you’re good at cooking, you can make it a business to cook food for people and deliver it to their residence as many of the singletons in Nigeria have issues with cooking and prefer to eat out.
You can cook the food or soup in bulk, freeze it, and make deliveries to people who have issues with cooking. This is an idea that could sell well to tertiary institution students and unmarried people.
Cleaning Services
Cleaning is a very important entrepreneur business idea that has not generated sufficient clout in Nigeria. Segments in the business include apartment prepping- where the cleaning company cleans up a new apartment for a client, deep house cleaning services, where every aspect of the house is cleaned, industrial cleaning services are also included where industrial premises are cleaned.
You can decide to focus on one of the above listed segments of cleaning services.
Pet Grooming
There’s a couple of family pets in Nigeria with very few pet groomers. For many people, their pets are very ungroomed and untidy due to their inability to groom their pets, some people are unable to give their pets a bath.
Pet grooming is a professional and personalized service, the groomer is paid to come around and give the pet example a dog or a cat, a bath, sometimes a haircut etc. The groomer can decide to open up a shop and let the customers bring their pets.
Personal Shopper
Some people are often too busied up to go to the markets to shop. Some working-class mothers in Nigeria will appreciate if there’s someone to provide a service that will save them of frequenting the market. This idea involves you having the fast means of mobility, maybe a van, a car or a motorbike.
The idea involves you going to shop for people, either at the supermarket or at the market and at the point of delivery, receiving pay for your service.
CONCLUSION
These ideas are a very tiny fraction of the many unpopular entrepreneur business ideas that can make headway in Nigeria.
If you are faced with the challenge of a viable entrepreneur business idea, then you should look inward, what are your capabilities? What are the skills you possess? Then you paint a mental picture of how useful this idea can be to your immediate environment.
