Daily bread – How to start a successful bread bakery business in Africa’s fast growing bread market

Ever considered one of the bread bakery business opportunities in Africa ? You’re about to learn several reasons why you should.

Everyone eats bread. Bread competes against rice and cassava (gari) as the most popular food and staple in Africa. It has remained a widely-accepted food item because of its convenient and ready-to-eat nature.

Bread is a common food item in many African households and up to 70 percent of breakfast diets on the continent contain bread.

The size of the African bread market is worth billions of dollars every year and nearly all the bread we eat is produced locally. A bread bakery business is easy to start up and can be run from a home kitchen or a bread factory.

Let’s take a dive into this interesting idea and explore the business opportunities for African entrepreneurs in the bread bakery business…

Why is the demand and market for bread growing very fast in Africa?

According to a recent study , the demand for bread is expected to explode in the coming years. South Africa, Nigeria, Ethiopia, Sudan and Kenya are currently the largest and leading bread markets in Africa.

Africa now has more than 50 cities inhabited by over one million people. By 2020, more than 500 million Africans are projected to live in urban areas and cities.

Statistics reveal that urban dwellers and city people eat more bread than people in the rural areas. Given the rapid growth of African city populations, bread is sure to remain a highly sought-after food item by African households.

More than 80 percent of all imported and locally produced wheat flour in Africa is used by bakeries to produce bread. The rest is used by food processors to make biscuits, cakes, pasta and pasta.

Over the last decade, more bread has been consumed in Africa than maize and rice. Why? It’s simply because bread is more affordable (costs much less than rice, yam and maize).

Bread also appeals to the convenience and lifestyle of most people – it’s an instant meal that requires no further preparation, and makes a great fast snack (besides its popularity as a breakfast item).

Many of us may not know this: bread provides more nutrients than any other single food source and is particularly important as a rich source of carbohydrates, proteins and vitamins B and E!

Market opportunities for entrepreneurs who want to start a bread bakery business in Africa…

There are different categories of bread that attract different kinds of consumers in Africa. It’s very important that entrepreneurs understand these categories to help them decide on the type of bread they will produce, the likely competition and the needs of the market.

Plain White Bread

This type of bread usually comes without any labeling, branding or packaging and very little attention is paid to product taste, quality or hygiene. It’s best described as ‘bread for bread’s sake.’

Popularly known as ‘Agege bread’ in many parts of Lagos (Nigeria), this basic white bread is usually less than the size of a standard loaf and can be consumed in one serving by one person.

Agege bread is normally unsliced and its nutritional content is the poorest in the market.

Some bakers have been found to include unhealthy additives and dough enhancers (like Potassium Bromate ) to artificially increase the size of this bread in order to fetch higher profits. Most of these substances are banned in several African countries but their use remains widespread due to poor regulation and low consumer awareness. (photo credit: theparadigmshiftng.com)

More than 50 percent of bread sold on the African market are of this type and most consumers are drawn to it because of its very low price. As a result, most independent and small-scale bakeries producing this bread make money by selling cheap at high volumes.

There are usually no leading producers in this segment of the bread market and it’s commonly dominated by many small-scale and family-run bakeries.

Nourished White Bread

This type of bread usually contains ingredients like eggs, milk, fruits, etc. and generally do not contain unhealthy supplements or additives.

A lot of attention is usually paid to the product’s taste, branding, packaging and overall quality.

This bread appeals to, and is targeted at, African middle-class households and customers who are conscious about high food standards, nutritional content, quality and taste. These customers are also willing and very happy to pay extra for this higher quality.

Most families also prefer nourished bread for their growing children. As a result, nourished white bread costs much higher than the plain version on the market. (photo credit: manufacturingtoday.com.ng)

This segment of the market is dominated by franchise bakeries, industrial bakeries and small independent bakers.

This category of bread refers to wheat (brown) bread, whole meal bread and other forms of uncommon bread in the market.

Consumers who prefer these kinds of bread do so for lifestyle, health, taste or cultural reasons.

Special bread is usually sold in specialty stores and supermarkets. They cost much more than the plain white and nourished versions and require specialized skills and experience to produce.

Bakeries that produce this bread target niche markets like upper class residential areas and parts of town with a large population of foreigners.

How to start a bread bakery business – An important checklist

1. Prepare a business plan

A business plan doesn’t have to be complex or too elaborate, just something to keep your eyes on the big picture. The business plan will allow you to easily identify the obstacles and anything you may not have considered.

Your business plan should consider the prevailing market price for the type of bread you want to produce and how much competition there is. You also need to estimate the profit you’re likely to make in the first, second and third years.

Is it sustainable? Is it worth the time, effort and capital?

It’s usually wise to keep 8-12 months working capital to adequately support a bread bakery business.

If you’re looking for a sample bakery business plan template , I have found a good one you can adapt and use for your own bread bakery idea.

You can view it here .

2. You should know enough about bread

Nobody says you must be a master baker to succeed in this business; you really don’t need to. However,  you need to know the basics and tricks of the trade if you want to survive in this business.

Sign up for a bread baking course and learn the basics about measurements, recipes, flavours, packaging, branding and marketing. You should not give in to the temptation of thinking it’s enough to just hire a manager and have the bakery make you money.

Ignorance in the bread bakery business is likely to open you up to financial losses and eventual failure.

3. Choose a location that’s close to your target market

What kind of people live around you?

Are they high, middle or low-income earners?

Are they students, single people or households with families?

Are they predominantly young or old people?

If you live in a closely knit community like a residential estate or a university campus, it may be a great opportunity to run this business from your home kitchen. (photo credit: miraimages.photoshelter.com)

Look for newly established or developing suburbs and high traffic locations that have little competition. It’s also important to focus on areas that may not be well serviced, like industrial estates or high density office blocks where you can draw eager customers.

4. Would you need a permit or license to operate?

Depending on your country and location, you may require a permit or license from a government establishment or Consumer Health office to operate a bakery.

What are the requirements and standards for approval?

Would you need to have specific equipment like fire safety tools?

Is there a standard qualification you must obtain to be eligible for a permit?

You must know these requirements in advance and take the necessary steps to ensure you get the approval you need to open your doors to the public.

The size and quality of your equipment will depend on how much bread you intend to produce for the market and the amount of startup capital you have.

It’s very important that you don’t spend too much on equipment at the beginning of this business. Look out for any good quality, pre-owned (second hand) bakery equipment you can find at a bargain price.

The basic equipment you need  to start a bakery business include: an oven, mixer, dough moulds, dough divider, fermentation chamber (proofer) and maybe a bread slicer.

The bread bakery business is an interesting opportunity in Africa…

Because most people WILL eat bread most of the time, the bread business can be a very rewarding venture if entrepreneurs can find a large market with few competitors.

With some creativity and higher quality, a new bakery can easily win consumers over from an established bakery. When properly planned and operated, bakeries can become a rich source of lasting income.

Do you know any person who has expert knowledge in bread bakery. I need help to set up a bakery in Lagos.

Hello Freddy, I am Akeni, working with Still and Joe (Chartered Accountants) in Lagos. I linked up with this website from google, as I am in the concluding phase of an Audit and Financial advisory service with a client who is into baking of Bread and Pasteries in Lagos. It was quite an experience because they started with just one bakery location and within 15 months are working the forth one. Success is sure when your information is accurate.

Akeni 08183840432 BBM pin: 29F14FE2

Hi how can I get help and information to start my baking business in Ghana, Accra to be specific. Thanks for your kind Co operation. Best of Regards Tina O

Hi Freddy and Tina,

Because the types, tastes and market for bread are different across Africa, our best advice to you will be to hire somebody who already owns or runs a bakery business to help you set up your own. If you’re lucky, you may get free help but many of the people you meet will be more motivated to help if you negotiate and pay them a consultancy fee.

If you do it well, the little money you invest to get experienced help will save you a lot of trouble and losses in the long run. In choosing someone to help you with this, we suggest the following tips:

1. Make sure the person’s bakery is not located within your area. If he/she feels you will one day become a serious competition to their business, they may be unwilling to help you or may even sabotage your efforts. You need someone with a successful bakery located away from your target market.

2. When you find this person, make sure the fee you pay is based on an agreed contract. The contract must clearly state the things the consultant must do. Recommend bakery equipment and places to get the best deals, best and cost-effective brands of baking ingredients like flour, baking powder, butter and sugar. You could also get recommendations about experienced and skilled workers to hire for your bakery.

3. On top of all this, every business has its secrets. A bread bakery strategy that works in Accra, Ghana may lead to failure in Lagos, Nigeria. If you get a great person to help you, the secrets they reveal will surely be invaluable. There may be some factors you didn’t consider that will be pointed out.

4. Again, we insist that you work with a person who [b]owns[/b] or [b]runs[/b] a real-life successful bakery. Experience of actual work is VERY IMPORTANT.

It’s easy to recommend some book or training that will teach you these things but it won’t be the same as getting a real person to do it for you.

I hope this helps. If you need any more information in this regard, just let us know. And make sure you don’t allow this challenge to ‘postpone’ your dream of starting a bakery.

Looking forward to more comments and questions.

[b]John-Paul[/b] 8)

I really like the five steps you offer…I’ve seen more than my fair share of people who have tried to start a business, but failed because they didn’t do one or more of the steps you prescribed. They’re simple, but applicable.

Thank you for this insight. Please I would like to know more about starting this business and the to know the right people involved. I am looking at locating it along lekki – epe axis in Lagos. Also where can one get the basic trainings required as well.

Hello Ifeoma,

I am very glad that you found this article useful. I am happier that you’re inspired enough to take action by starting your own bread bakery business. In fact, the Lekki-Epe axis (in Lagos, Nigeria) is an interesting location given the population and economic boom in that area.

About getting the required training and knowing the right people to talk to, I suggest that you read (again) the advice contained in the response we gave to a previous question. You can read it by following this link: https://www.smallstarter.com/browse-ideas/agribusiness-and-food/bread-bakery-business#comment-191

If you have any other questions you would like to ask, we are here for you. Just make sure you keep your dream of starting a bakery alive.

We wish you the best of luck!

It seems all the suppliers of bakery equipment who have left a comment here are foreign-based.

I’m hoping that someone will soon show up with useful information that will help you to source these machines locally at affordable prices.

Hang on there.

Verily, your website is like the African Entrepreneurship WIKIPAEDIA which I call The AFRIDEVELOPAEDIA… Just like a venture capitalist University. Good Luck…

Thank you Sheriff! Very kind and encouraging words. We promise to keep writing only the best stuff.

Hi all, after such information I could not resist myself to make advertisement of my company. Sorry for bothering you. If interested in investing such bakery project, I would gladly help in all steps and advice best equipment with all experience that I got for Africa. Regards

My contact info; [email protected] http://www.enkomak.com.tr

Hello, Am happy for this site. Thanks for the information provided. However. Am at the point of starting a small scale bakery business. I would want to start small.I need where I can get fairly used bakery equipment in nigeria. Thx Sunday

Can you advice on where to get the right equipment – oven and others

Hello Sunday and Oputeo,

There are a couple of places I would recommend to help your search for suitable bakery equipment. You could start by visiting the websites of these companies (located in Nigeria) that specialize in bakery equipment.

1) Macadams Baking Systems – http://www.macadamsnigeria.com/products/products.php?id_cat=1 2) Despoas Engineering – http://www.desopas.com/ 3) IEC Nigeria Limited – http://www.iec.com.ng/bakeries.asp

I suspect that these companies sell brand new and (maybe) used equipment. If you don’t have enough capital to purchase new equipment, it’s likely that these companies could have clients who want to sell their equipment or they could point you in the right direction. The good thing about buying from bakery equipment specialists is that they can provide you with the critical experience, installation and support services that you will most definitely need.

Whatever the case, you should contact these companies using the contact (email, telephone) details on their website.

I look forward to sharing any information you gather from these sources so more readers can learn from your experience.

[b]John-Paul[/b]

I have huge about my bakery business with a little or more knowledge in the field.I will always keep you posted on how far have gone.

Bakery Business in Nigeria: How to Start in 2024

A bakery is any factory where foods made from flour are produced. This includes bread, cookies, cake, pastry and others. The bakery business is one of the most profitable businesses in Nigeria. This is no surprise, Nigerians eat a lot of pastries and baked foods, most especially bread. Bread is the fastest and easiest meal to make. Bread does not require any form of preparation on the part of the consumer.

It can be eaten with beverages or other foods such as moimoi, akara, or even stew. It is also one of the cheapest meal which many can afford. A small loaf of bread can go for N100. Bread is a common meal staple, often used as breakfast in many Nigerian households. Most importantly, bread is eaten by both young and old. This makes bakery business a very lucrative one in Nigeria.

Statistics show that over 10 million loaves of bread are being consumed daily in the commercial city of Lagos alone. You can only imagine how much profit you can make on such a business in whatever state in Nigeria you choose to start. The bakery business is such that you do not have to be scared about the availability of market because bread is always in demand. However, there are many other factors to put into consideration if you want to set up a bakery business.

Starting a Bakery Business in Nigeria

Starting a bakery business requires more than simply having a passion for baking. It entails business acumen in order to turn in profits, hard work, resilience, and good project management skills considering the bulk of bread to be produced daily.

The bakery business does not have to do with making bread only. One can also make other pastries such as doughnut, cake, finger foods. However, the most common is bread making.

In order to start a bread bakery business, you need to have enough capital to buy the needed equipment. Although, starting a bread business is not capital intensive, there are equipment that must be put in place.

How to start a bakery business in Nigeria: Step by step

Get trained.

If you want to start a bakery, you will first need to get trained on how to bake. If you already are a baker, you could upgrade your knowledge and skills by applying to a catering school where you will be taught how to do things on a more professional level. If you are not a baker and you have no experience in the baking business, you can still go to a catering school where you will be taught from scratch how to bake professionally. Baking on a commercial level is quite different from baking for yourself or the family. Professional training will teach you about food processing. This will help you understand the intricacies of the food business. The extent of your knowledge in the baking business can be a determining factor in rate of your success or failure in the catering business.

Make a detailed Business plan

The thought of starting a business can be a very exciting one, however, you must tread with caution. Before you set up a bakery in Nigeria, you should write a detailed bakery business plan. A detailed business plan will help you answer questions and challenges you may meet in the future. A good business plan will lay out the structure of the business, the type of bakery, products to be sold and at what rate.

Below are important items that should be included in an ideal baking business plan:

Planning & Setup

As is often said, “Whoever fails to plan, plans to fail”. In order to set up a successful bakery, your business plan must include budget, reach of customers, market size, location of the company, organization and structure, business management and many more.

Source for capital

The capital needed to set up a cake business depends on the scale at which you want to set up.  You will need just enough to get the equipment to get you started. However, the more financial investment you put in a bakery business, the higher the profit.

For example, it cost about N80.00 to produce the standard sliced bread in Nigeria. The average bakery sells at N130 to suppliers which gives a profit of N50 to the bakery.

The suppliers in turn sell to retailers at the cost of N170 and make N50 gain per loaf of bread. The retailers also sell between N200 to N220 to the final consumers. This means that N50 is the average gain for the bakery and the middlemen at every stage from production to the final supply.

Below is an example for a bakery with an average production of 50, 000 loaves of sliced bread weekly. A bakery with many customers can produce and sell about an average of 50,000 loaves of sliced bread weekly. When you multiply 50 by 50,000, the weekly profit for the weekly production and supply is N2, 500,000. After this, you will have to subtract the costs of other expenses. Below is a rough estimate:

• Cost of production- N500, 000
• The cost of fueling your diesel generator for the week – N100, 000
• Cost of fueling and maintaining the supply vehicle – N100, 000
• Cost of labor and staffs welfare per week – N100, 000
• Damages and other miscellaneous expenses – N50, 000

Other costs that can be incurred include cost of advertising.

When you subtract all these from the initial N2.5 million profit; you will have N2.2 million left as your profit for the week.

These figures might look large, but it only goes to show that the amount of profit you will make in a bakery business depends on how large the business is and the investment already put in.

Once you have the required capital to invest in this business, you can start your bakery. Ensure you budget 7-12 months working expenses. This is what will help sustain your business before you start to make profits.

Decide on the location of the business

The location of a bakery is very important and can be a determining factor in its success or failure. The environment where a bakery is located should be hygienic and easy to access. If you want to go beyond a home bakery, then you have to look for a good workspace.

Define niche

You need to define the niche of baking you will be focusing on, in the business plan. Writing out future plans will help you know what you are planning for. This includes the variety of bread or pastries you want to go into. Here, ensure you give room for expansion and growth.

Target audience

In your baking business plan, you have to include who your target audience is, that is, the profile of people you expect will patronize your business, where they are and how you intend to find them.

Financial projection

There is no business idea that does not require investment capital, no matter how little it is. This is the reason you will need to discuss your means of getting capital and how much profit you intend to makeover a period of time.

You need to set realistic goals for your baking business. Writing out your goals will help you stay focused towards achieving them within the set period of time.

Marketing strategies

The bakery business is a very competitive one, therefore, you cannot joke with marketing strategies. Ask questions such as, “How do I intend selling my market and getting ahead of my competitors?”

Registration

Your bakery business must be registered with the corporate affairs commission. All you have to do is come up with a business name, check if the name is still available and has not been taken up by another business and then have it registered. You will also need to obtain a license from NAFDAC because your business has to do with serving food to the public.

Choose a suitable location

A good location is important for a bakery business. A bakery should be located in a city or town where retailers can easily access. If a bakery is located in a remote area, there will not be enough chance for growth as it will be difficult to be found. You can always rent a building that is suitable for baking. Although land and rent costs much in cities, it is usually profitable for your business. It is also important that the road to your bakery is accessible. If retailers experience much trouble getting to you, they will rather buy from another supplier.

Quality materials

After training well, ensure you bake nice, fluffy and clean breads. If your bread is good and branded properly, people will patronize your business.

Get equipment and hire labor

You cannot do everything alone in a bakery business. You will need more hands with the baking, packaging, logistics and other aspects of sales. It is important that you hire the best hands to do the job. In fact, you do not necessarily have to be a baker to start a bakery business in Nigeria. Some hire professional bakers and pay them while they run the bakery. You only need to make sure the bread you produce meets NAFDAC approval requirement.

Buy the necessary equipment

Below are the necessary equipment needed in setting up your bakery.

Baking Oven

A baking oven is used to produce bread. You can buy the industrial baking oven which is used by professional bakers who make bread in commercial quantities use. An industrial baking oven might be expensive but saves time.

Flour Mixer

The flour mixer is the device used to mix the flour and other ingredients into pastry. There are local mixers and there are standard electronic mixers. You can always go for the one that you can afford.

Slicing Machine

If you intend to produce sliced bread, then you will need a slicing machine. Sliced bread is the most popular and most purchased bread in the Nigerian market. This could be because it is easier to share in the family. You will get more profit baking sliced bread.

Baking Pans

You may need to buy or design baking pans according to your needs. However, some heavy ovens do come with baking pans. Make sure you clean your baking pans properly after use.

Bread Wrapper Supply

There are people who specialize in supplying wrappers. It is important you have one to always supply you with wrappers (otherwise known as nylons). Make sure you have made a deal with a wrapper supplier even before production commences in your bakery business. This will ensure a steady supply of bread wrappers.

Heavy-duty Generator

Bakery business in Nigeria will require a generator. You need a large size, standby generator to ensure fast and consistent production in your bakery business.

Other items needed in a bakery include:

• Milling machine
• Delivery van
• Ceiling and industrial fan
• Chopping table
• Slicer and pan cleaner

Advertisement/Marketing

Every business needs to be marketed properly. Promoting your bakery business is key to increased brand awareness and sales. Marketing can be done via flyers and posters, social media, adverts on a local radio station, etc.

A bakery business must take its delivery method seriously. First, you must be able to meet up with demands as at when due. You must also be able to guarantee that the baked bread get to the customers at the time it is needed. This is the reason a good understanding of project management helps in the bakery business.

Supply Truck

You may need to buy a supply truck to help you transport and market your bread. Use your truck to sell bread to customers.

The bakery business in Nigeria is a profitable business that has gone on for years and does not seem to be waning any time soon. However, it requires research and effective marketing in order to be successful.

1. Fluctuation

Prices for raw material fluctuates all the time. There are no fixed prices for this raw material so you will constantly be ready to adjust to this factor. This is one major factor that has affected the market in Nigeria. This imparts the size and quality of of the baked products. While others may want to keep their quality intact thereby reducing the quantity of what is initially sold.

2. Spoilage

This is another factor that affects bakery business. Most times it is due to inability to market or make sales on time. Which is why employing a good marketing strategy and getting in touch with all your customers even before your bread or pastries are out of the oven.

With a very good marketing strategy or plan, your customers knows the right time to come scoop your goods as soon as they are out and fresh from the oven. Additionally spoilage also occur when they are left in the oven for too long and they get burnt.

This is due to carelessness and negligence among the staffs working in the bakery. To avoid this, there should be enough staffs to take turns or shift to ensure that the bread or pastries do not exceed the appropriate time required for them to be done.

This happens almost all the time. so extra care and attention should be given. Sometimes theft is done by staff or intruders that find their way into the premises.

Often times, someone can pose as a customer to steal from the bakery because often time. The staffs fail to number the amount of bread or pastries that is made and with that it is hard to tell when some are missing. Seriously steps should be taken to avoid this from happening and there are several ways to do this.

Either by making sure there is someone taking record of the bread or pastries when they are in the oven. The place of payment shouldn’t be the same with the place where the bread or pastries are collected to avoid over crowding and too much. Security personnel should be employed to ensure order and safety.

Standard Bakery Business Plan with 3 Years Financial Analysis

The bakery business (bread) is one of the lucrative businesses in Nigeria as bread is widely consumed there. In fact, bread is the third staple food in Nigeria. There is virtually no household in Nigeria where bread is not consumed, and in some families, bread is their main food.

Lagos State is the largest bread consumer in Nigeria, as about 10 million loaves of bread are consumed there every day.

It will interest you to know that in Nigeria’s bread sector, small-scale bakers dominate the market. According to a KPMG report in 2016, “Nigeria’s bread sub-sector is growing at a faster pace, with 72 percent of the $621 million industry dominated by small- and medium-scale bakers.”

It’s a business you can start from home and focus on making special bread. Special breads like fish bread, coconut bread, butter bread, sandwich bread, chocolate bread, walnut bread, honey, sandine bread, soft cheese, and pepperoni bread, just to mention a few.

It is a small-scale business that you can start. With N500,000 to cover the oven cost and generator set, you can start from home and package it in a very nice way. If you have N5,000,000 to start, that is still considered a small scale, but it will give you a lot of leverage and power.

To get started, you’ll need a flour/dough mixer, dough cutter, bakery oven, baking pans, bread slicer, working table, weigh scale, and other accessories.

Beads have been a major part of our cultural heritage from time immemorial. A lot of people see beads today and feel they are a modern invention. Ironically that is not the case, beads have been existent for centuries, the only difference today is that they have been modernized such that they look more sophisticated.

Due to the popularity of beads in Nigeria a lot of young ladies have grown increasingly interested in learning the art of bead making. You might wonder why I call it an art and not a business. What you should know is that this business depends on how creative the individual is and how wild the imagination can go. Once you are able to satisfy these criteria then you begin to ask the question, how can I start a bead making business in Nigeria?

Hundreds of people run away from the idea of starting a new business, they will rather just work for someone or an organization and earn stipends monthly. This fear is the reason why a great number of people have not been able to utilize their inborn abilities or fulfill any potential. Starting a business is a risk, one which can make or mar an individual. Most times the challenge is taking the first step. A major hurdle to cross for many is raising the capital needed to begin the business. Today however, several methods of raising capital have been made available at different levels.

Asides getting capital from these quarters, there are small and medium scale businesses that can be run with minute capital. Though the capital outlay for these businesses is small compared to others, with dedication and proper management the entrepreneur is bound to make great profit at the end of the day. One of such small scale businesses is bead making.

A brief look at the bead making industry and you will observe that a huge number of the participants are young people who are out of employment. Most of them were driven into the business due to lack of better jobs, only to stumble on a goldmine of sustainable income. A major reason for the profitability of the bead making business is the fact the use of beads is a major part of our dressing as Nigerians and indeed Africans. There is practically no occasion where beads will be out of place. You may begin to wonder why that statement but what you should know is that there are several kinds of beads. The occasion to be attended will determine the kind of bead to be used.

Before we go ahead to discuss how to start a bead making business in Nigeria, the profitability of the business and the necessities to be satisfied in starting up, let us check up a few details about beads.

What is bead making?

Firstly, bead making is the art of firing clay or glass and inserting a hole in the middle to form a beautiful jewelry. This is the first stage of bead making, one which so many people have no idea about. It is not really common as those involved in general bead making just go to the market to get materials for their trade.

Now to the kind of bead making which is the subject of this article. Bead making is the artistic arrangement of beads (fired up clay of glass) on a wire or thread to form different designs. These arrangements could be used to create necklaces, anklets, rings, crowns, ear rings, bracelets, etc. All of these as we know are used for the adornment of the body, especially when attending traditional ceremonies. Beads are mostly used by women, though most men also use them on important occasions, to accentuate their beauty and make them standout.

Purpose of bead making

There are several purposes for indulging in bead making. We all know they are mostly used to make an individual more beautiful but there is a wider picture. Here are a few reasons why people take on bead making as a profession.

• This is a major reason because most people are involved in this business just so that they can raise funds for their daily survival. People have needs and will undertake any available means to meet those needs. Bead making is one of such means.
• Beads are used as part of the dressing for social events. Some people make beads just so they can use them at social events.
• You can hardly separate beads from our culture as a people. There is no ethnic group within the country that does not have beads as part of the heritage. To some they have specific colors for specific individuals and occasions. To others, any bead goes for any occasion.
• Beads are used as spiritual instruments in most religions. To this end, beads are strung together for spiritual purposes.

Uses of beads.

Generally beads are used in making the following:

• Decoration materials
• Prayer beads
• Ornaments for the body.

Tools for Bead Making in Nigeria

The following materials are used in the art of making beads:

• Baked cay of glass
• Fishing line

How Lucrative is Bead Making business in Nigeria

Considering the capital required for starting the bead making business, the business is regarded as one of the easiest to startup in Nigeria. There are several reasons for this, one of such is that you do not need to rent a shop or an office to startup. You can start the business from your residence and think of renting a place much later when the business is established.

The second and most interesting reason is the fact that you need so little to make so much in the business. Here is a brief breakdown. Generally the cost of production of bead, let’s say a necklace, is roughly #200. You can sell the bead for as much as #1,000 (general market price). That is #800 or 80% profit. This is just a picture of how profitable the business is.

As stated earlier beads are used to almost every occasion by so many people. This means that the market is very large. If you are very artistic and can bring your imagination to play on your craft you can be sure to make huge sales. This because you will have an advantage over the competition with your artistry.

Types of beads most common in Nigeria

There are several kinds of beads which are used for different occasions and purposes. Here is a list of the most common on the Nigerian soil:

• Coral beads. This is the most common kind of bead used in Nigeria. I am sure you would have come across them at some point. They are the red or pinkish beads you see around. They are sometimes related to royalty or chieftaincy. The coral bead is mostly imported from Singapore and Italy. They are used for a variety of ornamental products and they are most common because they are believed to match any color of outfit.
• Pearl beads. These are strictly related with the feminine gender. They are seen as symbol of elegance and class. As much as they are appreciated there are several fake pearl beads in the market today. It takes mastery to be able to pick out originals.
• Glass beads. These are more expensive than the regular beads because of the rigors of the manufacturing process. They come in various colors and can be used for different designs depending on the artistry of the entrepreneur.
• Seed beads. They are usually tiny and come in different shapes. They are very affordable and can be used to make a variety of designs.
• Camel bone beads.
• Vinyl beads.

Tips in starting your own bead making business in Nigeria

Having you read this far means that somehow there is some interest in starting your own bead making business. As stated earlier it is one of the easiest businesses to startup within the country and it ranks high among the most profitable businesses as well. Here are a few tips you might adopt when starting your bead making business.

• Conduct a detailed feasibility study . You might believe that because the business is referred to as easy to start or small scale it does not need a feasibility study. That is a wrong notion. If this business is going to succeed then you need to conduct a detailed feasibility study. The best way to do this is by finding out a professional who has a success story around you. Visit the individual and ask relevant questions to the business. Find out what the individual has done to fetch the success that everyone can see. It is better to learn from the experience of others than learning from making avoidable errors. Find out the most demanded products, the best suppliers of raw materials, the way to treat customers and the best way to market your products.
• Write a business plan . This is one of the nonnegotiable aspects of business. A business plan is essential to the growth and success of your business regardless of the size or scale of operation. Having a business plan for you bead making business may look ambiguous but it will help in the nearest future. The business plan acts as your map or guide as the business grows. It gives you as the entrepreneur a picture of the business and how it will be in the future before you set out at all. The business plan can also help you raise investors should you need to grow bigger than the regular bead making business. At this point I should tell you that if you think outside the box there is a lot that can be done with beads.
• Get the necessary skills . Bead making might be a simple business to start but it requires a certain set of skills. These skills can be acquired from skill acquisition centers or online. Nowadays you can learn anything from YouTube. Your choice of learning channels should be dependent on the best way you can learn. Some people argue that you need just creativity in this business, but I must say that it takes more than creativity to string beads together.
• Purchase your tools and raw materials . I have stated above the different tools you need to start your bead making business. You can visit any market in your locality to purchase them. You will notice that all of them put together are not so costly and with less than #10,000 you will have your tools and your raw materials for making your beads.
• Get a space to work . This is one of the most flexible businesses with respect to location. You can decide to work from home or rent a shop. For a startup however, it is advisable to start from home till the business is established to a reasonable extent. If you want to rent a shop however, ensure that you get one in a very busy part of town. One that has a lot of human traffic so that your business can be in the public eye.
• Market your business . This one aspect of starting a business a lot of entrepreneurs take for granted. You might have great skills accompanied by unbelievable creativity, yet without proper marketing the business will never rise. Ensure that you employ different media to put yourself on the business map. Presently the most potent tool of advertisement for a small scale is social media. Take nice pictures of you work and post them on your handles.

Now that you know all of these you can begin your bead making business. Ensure you educate yourself on a daily basis on better ways to make beads and improve your craft. Grow your creativity levels and continually think outside the box. Find out what inspires you and employ it to make beads that will throw off your competition. Good luck.
