25 Untapped business that can make you rich in Nigeria

Business is sweet but more sweeeter when there is little or no copetition. Most people think untapped or low competitive business in Nigeria will require a lot of capital to set up, while this may be true if you are aiming for high monopolistic business idea like seting up refinery, it is not so for untapped small and medium scale business idea.

Are you sure?

Well, very sure the reason you don’t know about it is because you can’t know about it, such business are not what average Nigeria will ever think about more over Nigeria like copy copy they will rather copy proven business idea even when they don’t have what it takes to build such business.

Below are the business that is yet to be untapped in Nigeria.

1) Wall paper business
Wall paper? You mean phone wall paper.

Nop, you are wrong.

Have you ever seen a design on in sidewall of a house especially sitting room, design that look like 3d printing but it is not 3d you could tell from how the design was made it is far away from 3d printing.

That design is wall paper, and people are making a lot from it.

But I’m not an artist neither can I paint?

Who tell you to paint or draw, take out the business man in you, if you can’t paint what you need to do is to find people that can paint, hire them or buy their painting and sell it to individual or mall. You can use social media to promote your business.

4) Shoe production
if you really want to know how profitable this business is you can ask aba people they will tell you in detail.

Seriously this business is profitable and it is untapped except in aba, before you will see a shoe production company in another state in Nigeria you will trek far.

I will tell you a secret, the reason people don’t go into it is because they think they have to know how to create shoe and all that, while it is require for anyone going into the business to have little knowledge of how to make shoe, it is just little knowledge of how things is been done. You can hire shoe maker to work for you or partener with shoe maker.

Well they use youtube, read material online which at the end of the day it does noting to them except frustration. If you can set up training center, hire professional to teach them what they can’t be thought in school you will keep smilling to bank.

Everybody want to start primary and secondary school, but no one want to start day care beause of the problem associated with it like cleaning baby when they deficate, but if you can put up with the problem there is little or no competition for you and you will keep smilling to bank.
