REASONS WHY PAINT PRODUCTION BUSINESS IS LUCRATIVE IN NIGERIA

It is no news that the major source of revenue in the country is oil. This does not just apply to the government but also individuals. Everyone believes that it is a goldmine. The implication of this is that other sources of income and revenue are totally ignored, one of which is the paint and coating industry. Is it surprising that hundreds of millions of liters are sold annually, making it up to half a billion dollars in revenue and no one is taking notice. Getting into the paint and coating industry is indeed a very rewarding venture and one of the outstanding reasons for this is that there are presently no governmental regulations or registration processes for those who want to start up and for those already in the business. Therefore starting up and operating is just a question of how much can you afford. Other factors making the paint and coating industry a very lucrative one are as follows.

1. Low cost of start up.

Just be sure that you know what you are doing and the best way to do that is to get the right training, and acquire the right chemicals, materials and apparatus. If you are really low on cash, you can make do with drums and buckets and start from there. When you have started making sales, then you can start acquiring other tools to make production easier and faster such as an electronic mixer. Just get the jobs or contracts first, then make use of the proceeds to acquire other basic necessities such as the buckets for packaging and branding. This is just for a start then you can keeping making progress.

Nevertheless, it advisable to make the most of this opportunity as drastic changes can be made out of the blues.
4. It can be trans-generational
   Paint production is a venture that can be passed down as an inheritance and as it keeps passing from generation to generation, it keeps improving and growing till it becomes a household name to be reckoned with. So don’t just think about cashing in immediately, also consider how you want the business to be in the long run. Think about posterity and make sure everything is in place to achieve that. Nevertheless, you have to be aware of the fact that if this is your plan, you need to have a system that your children can step into and carry on. They don’t have to come into a scattered organisation. So grow your business, put workable systems in place, hire the appropriate staff and bear it in mind that this is a business that you don’t want to end with you but one that will continue even after you and still be well taken care of.
