The need for individuals to have ideas or start up a small business in Nigeria cannot be over-emphasized, especially with the current dwindling economy, the uncertainty, and insecurity that often loom over jobholders. It is common knowledge that in order to start up a business, capital is required – however, the amount of capital required depends on the type of business one wants to venture into.
Becoming an entrepreneur does not mean you have to break the bank – in fact, there are plenty of small business ideas in Nigeria that are under 50k and they are available to you! You do not have to wait on the sideline for that big break before you can think of an idea to pursue, here is a list of 5 businesses you can start up under ₦50,000.
