How to start a profitable Business Center in Nigeria

Starting a computer business center is another viable option to break into the world of entrepreneurship and make good money in the process. It’s a business that can fetch thousands of Naira just within few weeks of establishing it.

Computer business centre in Nigeria is open to offer several services such photocopying, typing and printing project work, letters, correspondence, memoir, spiral binding and laminating of paper materials, scanning of documents, instant passport photographing, typesetting, installation of systems, computer training, internet services (for computer business centre with cybercafé ).

Other services that can go alongside a computer business centre includes sales and repair of computers, sales of examination scratch cards like WAEC, NECO, JAMB, sales of recharge cards, computer training services, sales of computer accessories, etc. You can conveniently make N50,000 in a day just offering these services to your customers.

The demand for computer services is high especially in tertiary institutions. If you check the school environments, you will notice small canopies with laptops and printers in them, positioned at different places around the school premises. All they do is check results for students; help them pay school fees online, type and print assignments, projects’, register courses and other school needs involving the use of computers and that’s how they make money in the business.

If you don’t have any computer skill yet, don’t worry. With computer schools cluttered everywhere in every street, you’ll get the skills you required. It is not a bad idea to attend a computer training class where you will acquire both basic and professional skills that will enable you to run your business successfully. Depending on how fast you learn, you might be able to learn the required packages within 6 months or a year. Try as much as possible to be a professional in Microsoft Word, Microsoft excel and CorelDraw.

How much does it cost to start a computer business center in Nigeria?

The cost varies depending on the size and scope of your center. However, you can expect to spend at least 1,000,000 Naira to get started.

Get a Laptop or Desktop Computer: Your business center is incomplete if you do not own a computer system. I always recommend laptop because of how easy it’s to manage compare to a desktop. The major advantage of laptop over a desktop is that it saves power. Due to how unstable power supply is in Nigeria, the battery of your laptop can serve you for few hours of fuel spent on powering desktop computer.

You need at least one or two photocopying machine. There are those who are willing to sell their fairly used photocopying machine at a good price but I strongly advised you buy new ones. Most business persons usually prefer going for the fairly used because of how cheap it is. However, if you don’t like entertaining frustration, then go for the new machine.

Other materials are Printer, Staplers, Pins, A4 paper, A5, Letter, portrait size, Envelop, Cabinet, Stand by Generator ,Internet Connection, Chairs, Table, Other necessary equipment include, Multi extension sucket, Laminating machine, Paper cutter, Scanner, Spiral binding machine, Flash drive & Card reader, Instant Passport Sized Photo, accessories,  stabilizers, and softwares for carrying out specific.

Find a suitable location for your business: There’s a high chance that the appropriate and suitable location for a business center should be close to offices, school environment or university campuses, hospitals, banks, Electricity Company, shopping complex etc. Post office or local government headquarters is usually a normal domain for any computer business. This will guarantee a lot of turnover for you. It doesn’t matter if someone is already doing the same business there, what matters is that you’ll always make your sale and go home happy.

Be honest in dealings. Charge reasonably and honestly from the customers. You can create your price list by checking out what other computer business centre collect for a particular service they render to their customers. As a new beginner in the business, the price for a particular service you offer may be a bit lower than what others collect for the same service to help you build a good customer base.

Apart from maintaining a healthy connection with your clients and focusing on customer satisfaction, it is also important for you to take care of your employees and make sure they are happy working for you. Stay grounded and be a mentor and a friend to them rather than being a boss. Be approachable and let them know that you are always available whether they need help in making a presentation or just a friendly chat.
