confectioneries, cosmetics, soaps, hair conditioners, shampoo, glue and
face masks amongst many others. Supply of eggs is a
business that can be started on a small scale and grow to become a big
venture.
If you want to go into this business, the first thing you must
do is to identify poultry farms that produce quality eggs and/or large
egg distributors. Then develop a network of buyers who
are many and varied around your neighbourhood. To succeed, you just need
empty egg crates and a delivery van. Minus the delivery van, you can
start this business with less than N100,000.

Mobile
auto car wash eliminates the need for a physical business location,
therefore limiting start-up costs considerably. As a mobile detailer,
you will perform jobs in customer parking lots, driveways and garages,

downside includes not being able to work outdoors in inclement weather
and the limitations of having to travel with all the necessary tools and
supplies, including large quantities of water.
With the above ideas, a small business just started. Good luck.
