How to Start Soft Drinks Business in Nigeria
How to start a profitable soft drinks business in Nigeria, the step by step guide.
1. Decide type of Soft Drink Business
Yes, the first step to start a soft drink business in Nigeria is to first decide the kind of soft drinks business you want to start. Do you want to go into the business as a distributor or as a retailer? You need to decide and of cause, this decision will be based on the capital at your disposal.
If you do not have the capital start probably because you are broke, you can ask for financial support from your family and friends or simply save ahead of the business.
2. Rent a Shop or Container
After getting the capital you will need to start the drink business, the next step is to rent a shop or container where you put the drinks and sell. How much you have, how much you can afford, how big do you want to start plays a role in whether you will be renting a shop or container.
Your location also plays a role in which of these you will be going for. But my advice will be that you rent a container if you are going into the business as a distributor and rent a shop if you are going into the business as a retailer.
When you are renting this shop or container make sure the money you are spending is not more than 30% – 40% of your initial capital.
3. Buy Necessary Equipment Needed
The equipment needed to start soft drinks business in Nigeria cannot be ignored especially if you are planning to sell cold drinks. The kind of soft drinks business is under the soft drinks retailing business. The equipment you will need to start cold drinks business is majorly refrigerators and generators.
But there are other equipment needed to make the business comfortable for you and your staff.
1. Freezers
6. Padlocks
7. Generator
For the refrigerators and freezers if you cannot afford the new ones you can go for simply the tokunbo or fairly-used ones. They will last you for 2 to 3 years pending the time you will be able to afford new refrigerators for your drinks business.
Another thing I forgot to talk about when I was talking about renting a shop is that you should make sure there is constant power at the location you choose for your shop. This is to make sure you do not spend too much on putting on your gen to chill your drinks.
4. Register as a Soft Drinks Distributor
Registering as a distributor is very important if you want to be a distributor for these soft drinks companies. Doing this makes them know you and trust you. It also comes with many other benefits like they been able to sell drinks on credit to you, selling drinks to you at the lowest prices, financial support.
Which means they will be able to borrow you money to expand your drinks business when you want to, and much more. Being a soft drink distributor puts you at the top of the drinks business after the soft drinks manufacturers.
Another thing you should also put in mind is that registering as a distributor to some of these soft drinks companies is not free. This is where the #2,000,000 needed as a capital I mentioned earlier comes into play.
5. Selling Soft Drinks
When it comes to selling your drinks you have to open your mind to many opportunities around you. You can start first by telling your family and friends about your soft drinks business and selling to them. Also, you can sell drinks to people who sell in traffic or simply employ some guys that will sell for you and pay them on Commission bases.
Another thing you should not forget to always do is to take stock of your drinks. Always have a book or jotter where you write down the drinks you have sold and the ones still remaining in your shop. Also, another importance of your proper accounts is to keep you alert about the drinks business for example; knowing when to re-order for drinks.
6. Profits in Soft Drinks Business
There are different ways you can increase profits in your soft drinks business many of these I will be mentioning below.
1. Sell Drinks Online
I bet you never knew that you can sell your soft drink online. Yes, you can. With e-commerce websites like Konga, Jumia, and Jiji you can sell your soft drinks online without meeting your customers and get paid.
2. Sell Drinks to Parties Organizers
Yes, another way you can improve the profits in your soft drinks business is to sell your soft drinks to party organizers. Since they buy in bulk, you will make your profits in bulk.
3. Sell Soft Drinks in Traffic
You can also sell your soft drinks in traffic by getting guys that will sell it for you and pay them based on commission. Depending on the number of soft drinks or crates of drinks you sell you can make as much as #1,000 – #5,000 as profit per day whether as a distributor or retailer.
7. Risks in Soft Drinks Business
There are few risks you can encounter in a soft drink business in Nigeria. Some of these risks are:
1. Loss of drinks due to falling or mishandling of drinks
2. Drinks could expire in the shop. This will inquire losses if you do not pay attention.

Invest in research
Before you start your soft drink company, you must have gathered enough information and knowledge about the beverage industry. A good way to do this is through thorough research and feasibility studies. It is crucial that you have a solid understanding of your competitors, to determine how they’re able to succeed in your intending startup. Try to understand why and how they connect with consumers. Study general trends as well as your intended niche. Aside from that, other factors like capital requirements, basic procedures, manufacturing plan, etc, all need to be investigated properly.
Effective planning
The success of your soft drink company will depend largely on planning. Planning will help you understand how to approach your business.
It is crucial for you to prepare a strong business plan, along with a production plan before you start up. A business plan is a written document that should be able to fully describe your business, its objectives, its strategies, the market it is in, and its financial forecasts.
It will function to help you secure external funding, and to help in measuring success within your business.
In developing your plan; you should factor in the following:
Is your soft drink idea feasible?
There are several companies that are able to help you with recipe formation, ingredient supplies, processing and shelf-life.
Your packaging
Understand that not all packaging is suitable for every type of drink. Consider the following;
- Pack type e.g cartons, bottles, cans, pouches etc.
- Artwork e.g, branding and design
- Intellectual property, e.g trademarks, patents etc
Know your budget
It is very important for you to determine your budget from the start, before launching your soft drink company. You can not start up this kind of business if you don’t have sufficient amount of money to beat your capital requirements. The costs of manufacturing, packaging and all may get tacky along the way, so you want to make sure that you plan a financial budget to cover the first 6 months of your business. This should include, overhead expenses, production costs, packaging costs, business Incorporation, licences and permits, marketing and promotional, salaries, etc. All these should be fully represented in your budget.
Your company registration
Of course you know that you will have to get your company fully incorporated, by registering with an appropriate body; in this case, the Corporate Affairs Commission of Nigeria (CAC). To pick a name for your company; you want to come up with something catchy and easy to remember. Visit any CAC office nearest to you for details on how to register your company, or you could visit the CAC official website at www.cac.gov.ng
The whole process shouldn’t take more than a month for completion; at which time you will receive a certificate of incorporation from the Government.
Licenses and trademarks
A trademark is a symbol or a sign which will differentiates your goods and products, i.e your soft drinks; from other soft drinks and beverages. The importance of getting protection for your intellectual property( trademarks, patents, and industrial designs), cannot be overemphasized. You don’t want other companies to infringe your company’s rights by using your company’s drink formula, trade secrets etc, so keep this in mind as you go about preparing to startup your company.
The commercial Law Department provides protection of trademarks, patents and designs, in Nigeria. Visit the official website of the trademarks, Patents, and Designs Registry, Commercial Law Department, Federal Ministry of Industry, Trade and Investment at www. iponigeria.com

Central Laboratory Complex
Oshodi, Lagos.

Manufacture your drink

You also need to put in place a quality assurance unit or department, that will be charged to look out for product quality and safety, product storage, packaging and preservation.
Basic equipments

How to start soft drink retailing, selling & distribution business in nigeria (2018-2019 guide).
How To Start Soft Drink Retailing, Selling & Distribution Business in Nigeria (2018-2019 Guide)
Do you have passion for selling soft drinks in Nigeria? Are you still contemplating whether you should venture into this particular business or not? Are you still doubting the profitability or becoming reluctant as a result of being discouraged by some people? You don’t have to bother anymore as to whether you should be starting or not. It’s a promising business.
Before starting, you should first of all make proper findings on all that you’ll need to know so you can operate at the highest level of earning profits in the short-run. The same applies to all other businesses in Nigeria, finding out first about a business before investing in it.
What are those vital things you should find out about first before starting up? What are the profit potentials you expect? Soft drink business is a volatile business in Nigeria as we know we’re in a country where a lot of people struggle to make a living at the expense of health, rest, and pleasure.
For instance, people go into businesses that demand drinking a lot in order to satisfy their thirst. And aside from that, people naturally love drinking before, during and even after meals including those in other countries of the world. This makes the soft drink business more profitable than most of the lucrative businesses in Nigeria.
Here are a few steps you should note when planning to start soft drink business in Nigeria:
- Find out how much is required for the start-up
- Visit the soft drink depots in your locality to make inquiries
- Get ready to start the business and start in a strategic location
- Buy some crates of empty bottles of soft drinks
- Deal in plastic bottle drinks
- Add table water to your soft drink business
- Attract customers by reducing prices
Find out How Much is required for the Start-Up
Prior to starting up, you need to know the minimum amount with which you’re going to start first. Of course, you know that expansion is feasible once you’ve started selling soft drinks.
The minimum capital you’ll need for starting up is what is regarded as the start-up capital and every business requires this for a start. No business can be started without setting aside some certain sum of money.
Visit the Soft Drink Depots in Your Locality to Make Inquiries
Because there a couple of things you might want to know before you decide to try out this business, you may have to visit the nearby soft drink depots in your locality to make proper inquiries.
You’ll get all the details you need and this will help you start the business properly.
Though certain soft drinks like Sprite, Mirinda, Pepsi-Cola are not produced in certain localities in Nigeria, you’ll surely find the depots for Coca-Cola and Fanta near you. That’s very sure. Coke and Fanta are found in almost all localities in Nigeria.
Get Ready to Start the Business and Start in a Strategic Location
Once you’ve made the right findings about the business, the next step is to give the readiness to start without any further delay.
You need to be an action taker so that you can be a money maker. If you don’t take the proper actions from the onset, you won’t be able to make money on time. Apply creativity into business and make sure you give your time to planning.
There is no barrier to success for anyone so far the readiness is given. Readiness to start and succeed is all you need to be a success in that business. You’ll be a role model for others who will be starting the same business in the nearest future. They too will learn from your own selling experience in the business and a lot of people will become successful through you.
One more crucial thing to bear in mind is the location you’re going to choose for the business. You need to rent a shop where the business will move rapidly.
Buy Some Crates of Empty Bottles of Soft Drinks
Soft drinks are in two main categories; the ones that come in glass bottles and others which come in plastic bottles.
For the ones that come in glass bottles, you’ll need to buy some extra bottles first before you proceed to the depot to order drinks.
For the ones that come in plastic bottles, they sell higher than the ones in glass bottles though, bottles are sold together with the drinks inside.
Deal in Plastic Bottle Drinks
As you sell the soft drinks in glass bottles, you should also add the ones in plastic bottles as this may be easier to sell to those who are traveling and may not be able to drink from the glass bottles immediately. Because of the problem of returning glass bottles after buying and drinking, plastic bottle drinks are more demanding by customers than the ones in glass bottles.
And aside from the issue of returning bottles after buying, dealing in bottle soft drinks encourages you to add several other bottle drinks such as Viju Milk, Lacasera, Yhoghurt and others. This improves sales and encourages expansion.
Add Table Water to Your Soft Drink Business
Once you’ve embarked on soft drink business, it’s a must to add table water as most customers who buy drinks may want to ask for table water too. People believe they can’t be satisfied by taking soft drinks alone without adding table water.
Water is natural and it helps to satisfy thirst more quickly than soft drinks. So, you’ll be wiser than other sellers who don’t sell table water if you can add table water to your soft drink business. You’ll make more gains, and expansion is guaranteed.
Attract More Customers by Reducing Prices
One of the best and most working ways to attract more customers is by reducing prices. Reduce the prices of your drinks a bit compared to that of other sellers and watch your sales skyrocket in no time.
People love to buy where things are cheaper than elsewhere. This is naturally the character of the generality of men. Everybody naturally loves to patronize those who sell at cheaper prices and with better quality.
This means quality should be put in mind while selling at reduced prices to the people.

Is Soft Drinks Business Profitable?
Yes, the soft drinks business is profitable in Nigeria. However there are factors that affect the profitability of this business, and they include location, competition, and time of the year.
Regardless, there’s still lots of money to be made from the soft drinks business in Nigeria, and this is mainly due to the high demand for minerals. It is hard to see a Nigerian party without soft drinks being shared to be consumed.
That’s not all, but soft drinks have become part of daily food (like water) which many Nigerians can’t do without consuming daily (I’m an example). So, whether you are selling as a retailer, wholesaler, or distributor you’re definitely going to make profits off the business.
Soft Drinks Business Ideas in Nigeria
There are different ways you can operate the soft drink business, and in Nigeria, there are majorly three ways you can approach the business including:
Soft Drinks Distribution Business
Soft drinks distribution business in Nigeria involves partnering with or buying soft drinks directly from soft drinks manufacturing companies and selling to wholesalers and/or retailers in crates.
If you’ve ever seen a soft drinks depot, that’s an example of a soft drinks distribution business. It is likely they are owned by an individual or a group of people. Operating the business this way, you’ll need a lot of money.

Soft Drinks Wholesales Business
The soft drinks wholesale business involves buying soft drinks from distributors and reselling them to retailers at cheap prices. Wholesalers do sell in crates, half of a crate, and even in pieces to retailers.
Operating the business this way is not too stressful, as retailers find wholesalers and buy from them. Although some wholesalers supply retailers using trucks. Wholesalers also sell in bulk to party organizers, schools, churches, hotels, resorts, etc.
Soft Drinks Retailing Business
Soft drinks retailing business involves the buying and selling of soft drinks in pieces to final consumers. Retailers buy soft drinks from wholesalers and go through a lot of processes to get them sold such as freezing.
You can start the business this way with a little capital usually anything from N5,000 Naira and above, as you can buy one crate of different varieties of minerals at once to get started.

How to Start a Soft Drinks Business in Nigeria
1. decide on the type of soft drinks business to start.
To start with, you need to first decide on the type of soft drink business you want to start. Picking a type depends on lots of factors including your budget, location, and the ease of operating the business based on your lifestyle.
If you’re in an area where there are lots of retailers but few or no wholesalers or distributors whatsoever, going with the distributorship, or wholesaling would be ideal. Although funding the soft drink distribution business may be difficult, you can seek money or partnership with friends and family, seek venture capitalists, or get a loan to get started.
2. Carry Out Market Research on The Type You Want to Start
After deciding on the type you want to start, the next thing is to do some findings that will help you understand more about the business. Research how easy it is to operate the business in your area, find out the legal requirements to get started and also get to know who your customers are.
Based on your result, draft a simple business plan containing your overall strategies including, management, and marketing plan. This will serve as a road map to a successful soft drink business in Nigeria.
3. Get a Store/Shop
After your business plan is drafted, the next thing is to start the practical aspect of running the business which starts with a storage facility. A shop or container is required as a retailer, a store as a wholesaler, and a warehouse as a distributor.
While looking for a location to site your store, make sure you consider the ease of running the business in that area including soft factors like:
- Competition
- Target customers
Firstly, make sure that there are few soft drink businesses in the area where you want to secure a store. Also ensure that your potential customers will be able to quickly locate your store, and make sure that there are low criminal records in the area.

4. Get The Needed Equipment to Run the Business
After securing a store, there is other equipment needed to run a soft drink business in Nigeria. Although not all are required based on the type of soft drink business you want to operate. The following are some of the equipment needed
These are required based on the type you choose to start. Assuming you want to start as a distributor or wholesaler, you would need a truck and generator. While as a retailer, a cooler, and possibly a freezer would only be required to run your business.
Also, regardless of your type of soft drink business, you will need other basic equipment like tables, chairs, and padlocks to operate your business.
5. Register Your Business (Mainly for Distributors)
This is not necessary for retailers, but if you want to become a distributor of soft drinks in Nigeria your business must be registered. This is because legal documents of your business will be required while applying to become a distributor of soft drinks companies including Coca-cola which is the most popular in Nigeria.
If you did your market research well, you should know all the required registrations. The most common one of these is CAC. Your business name needs to be registered with the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) to make it legal, and genuine in the eyes of the companies you want to partner with.
6. Find a Supplier
Since you’re not the manufacturer, you need to source places to buy your goods to start the business.
As a retailer, your suppliers are wholesalers or distributors, as a wholesaler, your suppliers are distributors, and as a distributor, the only place to source soft drinks for sale is from the manufacturers.
It is easy to find suppliers as a retailer, as there are lots of wholesalers in every town across the country, and some even hawk around using trucks. As a wholesaler, it is a little bit difficult to find distributors because there are just a few in a town. Here, your market research will help if well done.
As a distributor, for beginners, it is very difficult to get a distributorship license in many companies in Nigeria, as it takes a long process. However, you can start as a sub-distributor by collaborating with existing distributors of the soft drinks company you want to work with, e.g Coca-cola.

7. Hire Staff (For Wholesalers & Distributors)
Only if you’re a retailer you won’t need some helping hands as every soft drink retailing business activity can be carried out by just a person. As a distributor, you’ll need to hire staff to fit in every aspect of the business including supervisors, marketing agents, loaders and offloaders, drivers, and even sales reps.
8. Get Started and Get Working
With everything now set, get your goods stocked in your ship and start selling. The major part of operating a soft drink business in Nigeria is marketing.
So, as part of getting started, you need to market your business, and this is where the work of your marketing agents comes in as a distributor. They should come up with the best marketing strategies for your business in addition to yours.
As a retailer, marketing your business can be done mainly through word of mouth. As soon as you get the business off the ground, inform your friends, family, and neighbours about your business, and also encourage them to inform their friends and relatives too.
Also, you can print some promotional materials like banners and flyers to market your business. As a wholesaler, working with event planners is also a good way to get more people to know about your business.
The soft drinks business is a very profitable one to start in Nigeria whether as a retailer, wholesaler, or distributor, there’s lots of money to be made from the business. If you want to start, I believe this post on how to start a soft drinks business in Nigeria has covered all you need to get started.

SOFT DRINK PRODUCTION BUSINESS PLAN TEMPLATE
1.0. Executive Summary
Tip Soft Drink Company is an authorized soft drink production company that will be located in a metropolitan area in Ilorin – Kwara State. We have been able to acquire a facility in a strategic location on a long–term lease agreement with an option of renewal on terms and conditions that are beneficial to us.
We are conscious about the kind of facility to ensure that it has government approval for the kind of business we want to operate and it is easily accessible to facilitate easy movement of raw materials and finished products.
We are aware that there are several soft drinks production companies in Nigeria, which is why we spent time and resources to carry out our feasibility studies and market survey to be able to locate the business in an area that will promote the growth of the business and also for us to enable us to offer better products than our competitors will be offering.
Tip Soft Drink Company is owned and managed by Eriayo Steven. Mr Eriayo Steven is a Graduate of Microbiology (B.Sc.). He holds a Master’s Degree in Business Management (MBA) from the University of Ilorin. He has over 12 years of experience working in related industries as a senior manager before starting Tip Soft Drink Company.
2.0. Our Products and Services
Tip Soft Drink Company is a standard and licensed soft drink production company whose products will be sold in Ilorin – Kwara State and also throughout Nigeria. We are in the soda production industry to produce various flavours of soft drinks and to also make profits and give our customers value for their money.
3.0. Our Mission and Vision Statement
- Our vision is to establish a standard soda production company whose products will be not only be sold in Ilorin – Kwara State but also throughout Nigeria and in other parts of the world.
- Our mission is to establish a standard and world-class soft drink production company that in our capacity will favourably compete with leading companies in the industry such as PepsiCo Inc., The Coca-Cola Bottling Company UNITED Inc., Monster Beverage Corporation and Bigi Drinks et al.
- We want to develop a soft drinks production business that will be placed amongst the top 10 soft drinks brands in Nigeria in the first five years of launching.
4.0. Our Business Structure
Tip Soft Drink Company is established to compete favourably with other leading soda drinks brands in the industry. We will ensure that we put the right structures in place that will support the kind of growth that we have in mind while establishing the business.
At Tip Soft Drink Company, we will ensure that we hire people that are qualified, hardworking, dedicated, customer-centric and are ready to work to help build a prosperous business.
Given the above, Tip Soft Drink Company have decided to hire qualified and able hands to occupy the following positions;
- Chief Executive Officer (Owner)
- Plant Manager
- Human Resources and Admin Manager
- Merchandise Manager
- Sales and Marketing Manager
- Information Technologist
- Accountants/Cashiers
- Distribution Truck Drivers
5.0. SWOT ANALYSIS
The broad experience of our management team, who are highly experienced and understands how to grow business from scratch to becoming a national phenomenon stands as our major strength.
Also, the production and our large national distribution network of wide varieties of soft drinks in terms of flavour, packaging, and size et al and our excellent customer service culture will count as a strong strength for the business.
The fact that we are a newly established soft drink production company and we don’t have the financial capability to employ the kind of publicity that we intend to supply the business particularly when big brands names like PepsiCo Inc., The Coca-Cola Bottling Company UNITED Inc., Monster Beverage Corporation and Seven-up Bottling Company et al are already controlling the market.
Opportunities
The opportunities for soft drinks production companies are vast. This is because about all Nigerians can afford soft drinks and they drink them regularly. Due to that, we were able to conduct an absolute market survey and feasibility studies to position our business to take advantage of the existing market. We know it requires hard work, and we are determined to obtain it.
Per capita soft drink consumption is presumed to slightly increase in the future, posing a likely threat to the industry. As soft drink expenditure declines, demand from downstream markets, such as wholesalers and retailers, will decrease, negatively altering industry revenue. Price-based competition escalates in response to decreased demand, which can negatively alter producers’ income and profitability.

How much does it cost to start a soft drinks business in nigeria.
How much does it cost to start a soft drink business ? So in this article, I received different questions on mini start up capital about soft drinks business or coca cola distributorship business from some Nigerian readers in which I did not reply them because I was not sure of how much they can start or use to start as a distributor for Coca Cola Company. I do not want to make mistakes even when I am a business blogger.
However, most people often asked me on comments or whatsApp they want to know is “I have limited capital, how do I go about it? I just want to confirm the amount in starting a depot, how do it goes? How much can I use to start soft drinks business, how much do I need to start coca cola business as a distributor?
It shows that they need to know about the cost of starting soft drinks as a distributor for either coca cola or Pepsi Company. For this, I am not good at business plan or feasibility report on cost for starting as a soft drink major or mini distributor.
By God’s grace, I may try it. Now, as I posted an article on soft drink or one-way pack business with low capital of N50,000 on this blog, I noticed a woman’s picture profile on my whatsApp phone where she asked me to connect my uncle’s phone number for business transaction and then asked her how she did it in which she would share with me here in this blog on her successful business as a sub-distributor or mini distributor.
But her name and phone number should be withheld for reason. Here is what she shared with you how much she started with.
“ I am not based on coca cola alone, but I have also Bigi and other products. I had about N800,000. I got space and container N350,000. You know container you have to have a roof and do the inside. So I spent like N400,000 on drinks….. About N150,000 for coca cola products. The container was a big size. It is 12 by 12. Again, I got freezer about N105,000. I sell retail and wholesales, thank you for help to connect your uncle with me on phone line in Abeokuta. My location is too far for him to carry load of soft drinks to my zone, so he redirected me to another dealer close by. Thanks so much, ma.”
This helps you to estimate how much you can start with. The woman did not ask me how much it cost her to become a coca cola distributor.
Sh e just went into venture with N800,000 she only had when she read one of my previous articles on this blog, titled how to start soft drink distributorship one-way pack business with just N50,000 and then asked me to link up my uncle’s phone number to her in Ogun state.

The other woman in Lagos state who read how profitable coca cola business was on my blog went into business as a one-way package distributor as she asked me please to link up my uncle’s number to her without asking me how much it required her to start cocoa cola distribution business.
May be even if they read one old article on how to start soft drink distribution business with N50,000, they did not follow it. They just start with what they had and succeeded in business.
That is what I saw their advertising business on their profile from my whatsApp phone. Then I sent them messages on congratulation for business success.
The first woman who said she spent like N400,000, it means she might buy pet volumes in bulk each on different kinds of soft drinks. For N20, 000, it means you buy two or three volumes of soft drinks each on different names.
For N50,000, it means you buy five(5) one-way or bottling volumes each individual at wholesale price from a sales representative or one-way major dealer indirectly.
For becoming a coca cola bottling sales representative or one-way major distributor, the Nigerian Bottling Company (NBC) requires you to purchase at least 400 volumes of soft drinks (or more, depending on your willing,) each loaded in a truck.
The Nigerian Bottling company has Coca cola, Sprite, Lemon, 5Alive fruits, canned drinks, Eva bottling water, etc. It means you buy at least 300 or 4000 volumes each from her directly according to your choice, depending on your customers’ demand.
Starting with N50, 000, N100,000 or N200,000 as a major distributor may be no longer. And I won’t tell you how much you can start with as a major or min distributor especial YOURSELF.
Start with what you have and plan it on working budget or feasibility. Stop asking any business consultant or blogger how much it cost you to become a Coca cola or Pespi or Bigi distributor like people.
I saw in comments asked an owner of Wealthresult.com how much to become a Pespi distributor, how much will cost me to become a Pespi distributor, etc.
You do not need to know how much it requires you to start as a Coca Cola distributor. Just go into this business opportunity with what you have.
It is better to start with what you have as you read other opportunity on FMCG consuming business if you develop a strong interest for than read a business blogger’s article and then ask him or her to know how much it cost you to start before you start. It does not work that way.
I saw some of my competitive bloggers in Nigeria deceive you how much you can start with little capital, N20,000, N50,000, etc. Start whatever stimulates you. I believe it works. Just test and see.
See eight businesses you can start with just N20,000 at OperaNews app on different comments where some readers contributed against. For with enthusiasm or zeal and discipline, you don’t need so much money to start.
Whether you want to become a Pepsi, Coca Cola or Bigi distributor, you don’t need so much money to start. Just start what interests you.
Do you want to know how much it requires you to become a soft drink distributor? That is what I answer you.
If you are afraid because you are not sure how much it costs you to start as a either pepsi or coca cola distributor, please don’t go into that venture, otherwise it can offend you. I am not responsible for that. I hope you enjoy this lesson?

Its good to write and very good business plan before you start this business. The plan will act as a guide to you. Success!
