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.

- 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.
