Please I Need Help; What Viable Business Can #500k Start In Portharcourt

I lost my bank job of over 4 years early this year. My efforts towards securing another job since then has been futile. I've invested in all sorts of online business but none yielded reasonably.

I have resolved to set up a business with my only savings of N500k here in Port Harcourt.

Great Nairalanders especially those resident in Port Harcourt, I've come for your advice. What business (NOT ONLINE) can I start with my 500k savings here in Port Harcourt?.

God bless as you advise

Open an online bet shop.

Like food, mobile fone has become something we can’t do without...Nigerians are very funny, no matter how poor they are they wanna use a big fone or something that looks close to big....we like to form rich in the midst of nothing

Buy all this cheap techno, intel, gionee btw 28-35k, resell with ur profit...u can get as much as 10fones to display for a start with 500bar... and more if u deal in smaller spec fones....You will still have something left for shop space.
I don’t know where u stay, but all locations have their high and low areas... go to low areas where u will see shop of 70-80k per year... or u do collabo with someone...that’s what people do now in those big fine shops in the big places they share office space, three to four business and split the cost so far business do not conflict..as time goes by other ideas go dey roll in, no worry, no let fear of uncertainty grip you.....

if you believe in God, say a little prayer, remind him his word every morning with faith that he said he will not allow the righteous go hungry unless you ain’t righteous.... and if u are an atheist believe in the law of the universe that he who sow will reap and with some coincidence and luck you go make am... don’t you ever forget to help the poor no matter how little u have
Guyyyyyyy..... Last last u go dey alright...

Stop promoting atheism or i 'll get you banned

The best "business" with 500k in this Buhari era is just fixed deposits/treasury bills where you're guaranteed interest with very little risk.

Everything else, in my opinion, will cause you to work too hard for too little gain. After all the businesses you can start with 500k today, you are lucky to see consistent 2-5k profit weekly. Reason am: 500k @12% = 60k. Just my own sha...

Since it’s Rivers, buy AK/47 and the thugs, you’ll make it big time

Food stuff or agriculture...

Start up a blog. Choose a niche/platform you're good at either celebrity/entertainment, sports, health, food, travels, technology, cars etc nd write on it. If you're constant and persistent, you'll be a millionaire in 2 years

nextstep:
treasury bills.

to get 6k a month interest. Whats that.

IT IS VERY NICE TO SEE SOMEONE TRYING TO DO THE BEST WITH WHAT THEY HAVE.

I AM A PH-BOY AS WELL, AND I WILL BE HAPPY TO SEE ANY PH-PERSON DOING WELL.

AS A FORMER BANKER, I AM OF THE HOPE THAT YOU MADE A LOT OF S WHILE WORKING.


THIS IS THE TIME TO COLLECT ON ALL THE FAVOURS YOU DID FOR THEM.

MANY OF THEM WILL SO WILLINGLY WANT TO INVEST WITH YOU.

A GOOD SOLID IDEA WOULD SEE A LONG LINE OF PEOPLE DESPERATE TO NEGOTIATE AND INVEST WITH YOU SINCE YOU HAVE A BANKING BACKGROUND.

LIKE BANKS ALWAYS DO, ENSURE THAT YOU CONTINUE TO KEEP YOUR N500,000K SAVINGS IN THE SAVINGS DEPOSIT WHERE IT BELONGS, AND CONTINUE TO GROW IT.


DO NOT SPEND A KOBO OF YOURS.

AS A FORMER BANKER, A HANDFUL OF PEOPLE CAN PUT AS MUCH AS N50M IN YOUR HAND ALMOST INSTANTLY, IF YOUR IDEAS ARE VERY GOOD, AND ACHIEVABLE.

ENSURE THAT YOU WORK VERY HARD TO MAKE MONEY FOR THEM, AND YOURSELF.

MARK ZUCKERBERG DID NOT SPEND A DIME OF HIS IDEA THAT RESULTED IN facebook. PEOPLE BELIEVED IN HIS IDEAS.

SIT DOWN AND APPRAISE EVERY IDEA OR SUGGESTIONS YOU RECEIVE.


TO USE 33.3% PROJECTION ON EACH N100,000K YOU SPEND, AS IT IS THE INVESTMENT WORLD' STANDARD.


ANY BUSINESS THAT CANNOT GIVE YOU A RETURN OF 33.3% PROFIT OVER A 4-WEEKS PERIOD, IS AN ENEMY OF PROGRESS.


DO NOT BE IN ANY HURRY, UNTIL YOUR EVALUATION OF VARIOUS PROPOSALS BECOME SO CONVINCING THAT YOU CAN ACTUALLY BEGIN TO SEE WHERE AND HOW YOUR PROFITS WILL COME FROM.


LET YOUR IMAGINATION GUIDE YOU, AND YOU WOULD MAKE THE RIGHT DECISION.


IN 1988, I HAD JUST N15,000K WHEN I TOLD ALL MY FRIENDS THAT I WAS GOING TO START A BUSINESS.

THEY ALL LAUGHED AT ME.


TODAY, MANY OF THEM OWE ME FIGURES WITH A LOT OF ZEROS BEHIND THEM.

THE MOST IMPORTANT THING YOU CAN DO IN BUSINESS IS TO HAVE A GOOD IDEA.

DEVELOP IT.

GET PEOPLE TO SPONSOR IT.

BE HONEST AT ALL TIMES.

GIVE EACH INVESTOR WHAT YOU PROMISED THEM

IF THE PROJECTIONS GIVES YOU ANYTHING IN THE REGION OF UP TO 29.7%, AND NOT 33.3%, THAT BUSINESS MAY COLLAPSE VERY SOON.

DROP IT LIKE ITS HOT.

LET PH ONCE AGAIN BECOME THE PLACE WHERE PEOPLE WANT TO COME TO, LIKE coming to America.

DO IT FOR PH, BUT MOST OF ALL .....DO IT FOR YOUR SELF.

Don't just post a business name. Give some more details and if it makes sense, the OP just might on how to go about it.

Food stuff business is a very viable one.... Go to Aba to get your stuffs and sell in PH at a very good profit. Try it, thank me later.

us for your roofing jobs and roof maintenance services etc

just write them through your bet , they will tell you the requirements and come for shop inspection. usually a shop thats about ten munites work from another bet9ja shop
