We are confident that we will draw a large number of customers from the moment our tile production firm opens for business.

Weakness: As a new tile manufacturing company with limited financial resources to compete with multi-million Naira companies in the Nigeria. This is a huge weakness that could work against us. Also, we may not have enough cash on hand to promote our tile manufacturing company as aggressively as we would like.

Opportunities: Brick and tile manufacturers make the majority of their revenue in the downstream residential construction sector. As a result, growing residential construction activity is likely to boost industrial product demand. Residential building activity is predicted to increase yearly, providing an opportunity for revenue development in the industry.

You should understand what your prospective customers will be searching for when they visit our facility; you should be in a good position to seize the chances that will present themselves.

Threat: Housing statistics track the number of new, privately owned housing units built each year. Demand for Tiles and brick rises as more new homes are developed, which benefits the sector.

REGISTER YOUR BUSINESS

It is important to register your business with the corporate undertakings commission in Nigeria which is Corporate Affair Commission (CAC). This is on account of it is in accordance with the laws of Nigeria. Failure to do so will attract some very stiff penalties from the authorities and in some cases, criminal charges. In order for you to be seen as running a legitimate business, it is important to register your business. This is because in Nigeria, various states have their laws and requirements for you to be permitted to do business in their state.

EMPLOY SKILLED STAFF

In this business you will need some staff, both technically skilled and unskilled to help you to run your business adequately. At least you should employ a security guard, secretary / accounts officer and a workers that will working in the organization.

ADVERTISE YOUR BUSINESS

Nigerians are known to not take advertisement seriously, especially when it has to do with small businesses. But we have to come to the realization that if you do not create awareness, there is a likelihood that people would not know about it. There are a lot of people that would naturally be in need of whatever you are selling but when they have no idea you are selling, then your opening a business would most likely be an exercise in futility.  There is no use setting up a good business and not letting the world know about it.  The importance of advertisement to a business cannot be over emphasized. You can make use of flyers, posters, radio, television, social media etc, to create awareness about your business let them know what you are selling and the reason they should by from you. The importance of ad to a business can’t be underscored.

STRATEGY FOR LONG-TERM SUSTAINABILITY AND EXPANSION

The amount of devoted consumers a company has, the capacity and competence of its staff, its investment plan, and its corporate structure all play a role in its future. If a business (company) lacks all of these characteristics, it won’t be long before it closes its doors.

Your main objectives is to create a company that can sustain on its own cash flow once it is up and operating, rather than relying on outside funding. The best strategies to earn acceptance and win clients is to create and sell durable bricks and tiles at a lower price.

INSURED YOUR BUSINESS

Insurance is not compulsory to Nigeria and so, many Nigerians do not see the use, but you need to see the need to insure your business, mainly because you are an investor. Other business might take the risk of not insuring their business but you cannot afford to take that risk. Sometimes, things goes beyond our control. If moments like that arise, you would not run at a loss.

SEEK AND ACQUIRE KNOWLEDGE

You should dependably be eager and prepared to look for more data or information about new patterns or ideas in the business. It is also important that you monitor the market trends so that you can prepare yourself for any eventuality.

CONCLUSION

If you’re seeking for a reliable business that will help you support yourself, earn money, assist you in your future retirement, or supplement your salary, I recommend going into the tile industry and following the steps as they will guide you.

Do not think it is a get-rich-quick plan; it is a business that takes time to grow but is solid and self-sufficient once it is established.
