HOW TO. START A BUSINESS


Every business starts with an idea. An idea is that unique gift  that comes from within. It is unfortunate that only  a few put it to use.
First step in business is "Conceptualization". I just love calling it that. this is a stage where the business is conceived. At this point, you can choose either to leave or chase the dream.
Next step; Write it down: Most times we lie to ourselves that we will remember the details of the idea but truth remains that we lose some tiny but important details. So writing dow your idea is another step.
Talk to Someone: Don't talk to just  anybody,  Talk to people who are sure to contribute  to the development of the idea.It might be a financial contribution or simple advise or guidance.
Commit Yourself: There are several ways to commit yourself but basically, its about taking a step in the right direction.
You could buy some of the things you need, or  rent the work space.
To start a business in Nigeria, you have to be registered with the  Corporate Affairs Commision (CAC). 
Many think this step to be really difficult but in actual fact, it isnt.
A simple business Name costs about 6000 naira but when you go through an agent it might cost about 10,000. An agent saves you the stress  and fast tracks the job. A limited Liability Company costs 60-70,000, Naira depending on the agent.
For more details on registering with CAC, call me on 08067124340, 08051480265, Or 07068871340. I will gladly hook you up with a good agent.
After this phase, you are good to go because you know; There is no turning back
