How to Get Started to Invest in Sales & Export of Crude Processed Solid Mineral

In the first place, get your business registered. So, whether you are an artisanal miner, mine broker, local seller or exporter, the first thing you will do is to register your business with CAC. This registration gives you the legal standing to contract business with other legal entities. In fact, your business registration is a legal platform for you to do business in Nigeria.

And, when and if you desire to register one, you are to provide the following information for the business registration.

Approved name through name availability Search
The list of and shareholding of directors – minimum of 2
Personal information of the directors, including their IDs
Filling and filing of the application forms and documentations
Evidence of payment of the appropriate fees; depending on the number of shares.

TIN:

The second thing to do is to get your Tax documentations formalized. That means, you should immediately obtain your Tax Identification Number (TIN). For a company, this comes from Federal Inland Revenue services (FIRS). And for business name, you get it from your state of residence Internal Revenue Service. This is very compulsory now. This is because, you may not be allowed to operate a bank account without TIN. In fact, other business entities would require it also to record your with-holding tax payments. So, get it before you launch into doing a business transaction.

Thirdly, regularize your banking requirements. You don’t need to be told that a bank account is required for every business transaction. Remember, that the society is going cashless. So, make time to regularise your banking requirements. If need be also get your on-line banking Apps and other applications installed.

More Actions:

In addition, you have to research on products and market need. We have highlighted above the existence of solid mineral buying centres in Nigeria. So, that’s a big opportunity for you to find out what is in stock and who needs them.

Furthermore, research for local demand. Find out who needs these products locally. There are a lot of factories – cement companies, construction companies, and jewellery firms etc. that need these products locally. Look out for them. You cannot get them sitting at a place. In fact, look for them. Get to the Websites and google search for them.

Get foreign Buyers:

In addition, research for your foreign buyers. Look out for foreign buying agents and brokers. Get online and research for them. Where you need to pay for the information, please do. I know that this is a big problem for most Nigerian businessmen who want free information. You have to be ready to spend something to get these information.

The Business Plan to Invest in Sales & Export of Crude Processed Solid Mineral

Furthermore, at this point, plan your business. Get the plan documented. Let it be your business roadmap. In fact, the business plan should help direct you on what and at what time to do a thing. The business plan will give you details of activities involved and how to go about them. Additionally, it will give you detailed cost and income analysis. In fact, establish the business plan as a checklist for your operations.

As a matter of fact, I advise you get a comprehensive business plan. It does not cost so much. But will turn out to be very expensive to operate without it. In fact, without a good business plan, you may not be able to do so much. Can you imagine being in business without a framework. In that case you do your business without considering in a planned manner its logistics processes, management team & structure, business SWOT analysis, marketing strategies and financial plans and forecast.
