HOW TO RAISE CAPITAL FOR YOUR BUSINESS WITHOUT GOING TO THE BANKS. It happens everyday. Well prepared entrepreneurs

walking into the banks with brilliant business ideas, with well- developed business plans- and walking out emptyhanded. SMEs in Nigeria have not had much impact on the economic development in the country due to lack of financial resources, which is a vital ingredient to start off a business. A keen reading of the CBN advertorial indicates that the five ailing banks that lost their management team a few months ago in a Bank Massacre, were neck deep in debt reaching the staggering proportion of N740 Billion , a quarter of the nations annual budget. It will amaze you that none of the small business in Nigeria benefited from this staggering sum of money. Here are the 25 alternative ways of raising ways of raising funds for your business without going to these banks.
1.

PERSONAL SAVINGS: The could be through (i) Savings Accounts (ii) Life Insurance Policy (iii) Investments like shares, Debentures, Bonds etc.

2.

FAMILY AND FRIENDS: Informed them about your business dream and ask for their assistance if they are in position to help. This should be prayerfully

and wisely considered. Do not assume they will not help. Take a step of faith by asking from them, the worst request.

WEALTH

NIGERIA

MILLIONAIRES: As an SME Finance expert, I have been able to counsel my clients on how they can

genuinely create wealth from Nigerian millionaires to kick start their businesses. Some of Nigeria philanthropists will pay you if you can help them to solve or render a service. Some of the services you can provide are helping them to set up a foundation, honour them with awards, writing their biographies.

that a lot of Nigeria businessmen, CEOs, politicians turn40,45,50,55,60,65,70,75,80 years, old. If you have passion for writing, target their birthdays and fix a date for the launching. Some of the them have a lot of companies and friends that are ready to donate to the Launching of the book. What are you waiting for? Target a Nigerian millionaire today and become and instant millionaire yourself.

others you can trust with or work with, if you have a business idea, you can go in partnership with someone that the money to finance your business. Do not be afraid that the person you will like to be in partnership with will steal your idea.
7. BARTER (Bartering): The Barter

system has to

do with the exchange of goods and services without

the use of money. It also means to trade one thing for another of equal value. A number of things can be Bartered, we can Barter creative ideas, commodities, jobs and opportunities. For what we really need. Many of the times, we do not really need money but things like shops, equipments etc which can be bartered for. You should know that financial problems can be solved even when money is not available. Wisdom or creative idea is the important key for a business that will thrive.

9. LEASING: Unlike loan, leasing is like a long- term

rental. At the end of the lease, you dont automatically own the asset; you have the option to buy it at its

residual value. A lease requires little or no money as down payment and is an alternative to purchasing such items as car machinery, office equipment. A lot of Nigerians have built their transportation business through leasing, some leasing companies in Nigeria have been consistently assisting transporters to buy trailers while small scale industries have been getting equipment equipment to start their business. There are many leasing companies in Nigeria, they

currently have an association called the EQUIPMENT LEASING ASSOCIATION OF NIGERIA (ELAN)

HOW TO REGISTER YOUR BUSINESS NAME WITH

THE CORPORATE AFFAIRS COMMISSION IN 21 DAYS OR LESS, WITHOUT A LAWYER AND WITH LESS THAN N10,000. Thank you very much for reading this report. In the next few minutes, I will be revealing to you the secrets of

registering your business name with corporate affairs commission in less than 21 days. The corporate affairs commission (The body responsible for registering of businesses) was established by the companies and allied matters act, which was promulgated in 1990 to regulate the formation and management of companies in Nigeria. The establishment of the corporate affairs Commission as a autonomous body was as a result of the perceived inefficiency and ineffectiveness of the erstwhile company Registry, a department within the federal ministry of Commission and Tourism which was then responsible for the registration of the repealed Companies Act of 1968. If you want to register a business name, you can do it in two ways. One is to engage the services of a lawyer and he will get it done for you with about N10,000. The trouble is that the next time you want to register another business name, you will have to pay him.. Another N10,000 The second way to get your business name registered is to do it yourself, yes, you can walk into any branch of the corporate affairs commission and you will get your business registered.

The trouble with this that if you d not know the secret of going about it, you will spend months trying to get your business name registered. And lve not even considered those that will be asking your for bride before you get your business done. This report will be reveal the secrets to you. Before we go any further, let me make it clear that this process is to get your business name registered and not a limited liability company or an NGO. Just a business name. some people will call it enterprises and venture but you dont have to call yours that. A friend of mine owns a business called Dream Achievers international and it is only a business name. The First Thing You Should Do Once you are ready to register your business name the corporate affair commission, the first thing you should do is to go their office nearest to you. Oh, I did not tell you When you ask for a name reservation, it take about 2 week before the result are returned. It is sometime as fast one week or 10 days but it sometime take 2 week. Now image if your chosen business name is not available, you have to go through that new one is not available as well, you have to go over the process. Again. And.. again. That is why it take people a long time to sort out.

So How Will You Prevent That From Happening To You. Good question and Im glad you asked you see my friends, what you need to do is to choose a name no one else would have chosen. Now, you have to smart and ingenious about it. If you choose just any name, I can assure you someone has registered it. Don t even think about registering names like these.. Emeka Okoro Enterprise, His Grace Ventures, El Shaddia international, Gloria Beauticians, Good News Enterprise, Mike Lawson Venture. And all these kind of common stuffs. If you choose them, there is a high chance they have been taken. Do you doubt me? Let me give you an example. I wanted to register Success Resources International and I was confident it would be available. To my surprise after 2 weeks, it was already taken. Okay, if that sounds common, let me tell you this. I started a sports wears business and I tried to think of unique names to choose. So I chose Sporting Lisbon international and sporting Braga International. I was thinking they were so so unique ( and crazy) so I submitted the form. Two weeks later, I go the results. The Names Were Taken!

So do you believe me when I said you should be ingenious? Today, I think hard before I submit the form. So now, we have sorted that. You will have to wait till the result comes out. There is nothing you can do about that. You just have to wait. All I ll advise you to do is to get ready so when the results come out, you will be prepared to register immediately. Prepare 2 passport photographs, a stapler (believe it, some CAC branches do not have), the details of a partner (you cannot register alone, add photographs, your someone anyone), the partners address (you tiny bits. Here is why Im telling you to be prepared. You see, we want to get your business name registered in record times so we want to move faster than normal. When name reservation results come out, what people normally do is to start studying the new documents they are provided with to fill. I remember one particular occasion when I did not put the local government area in my form. It was returned so I had to comeback the following day because they were about to close for the day. Id wasted another 24 hours.

number (use GSM), local government area and a few other

If you prepare early, you will get your registration done once the results are out. Here Is Something Important You Have To

Prepare For.. You see, the CAC requires that you state what your

business is all about. You have to state at least one thing. The maximum is three. They want to know what your. Business is about before they can register the name. This Where A lot of People Waste Time The first time I tried to register a Company, I filled in the following as my object. Internet Marketing Information Marketing Direct Marketing I submitted that rephrased second rejected. It was later that I discovered that there are some kinds of laid down business objects that are allowed for a business name. it is up to you to find an object that best describes what your business is about. it and and it got rejected.

Most businesses will fall under one of these, if not , just use General Merchandise. Now your Are Prepared Once your name reservation you will be is our, speak to any given a file and some officer there and

documents to fill. In some CAC branches, they would have given you this form and file right from the first day your applied for name reservation. You can fill the form right away with your name, phone number, address including LGA, partners details, passport photographs (you will staple it and make sure you write your name sign them). After youre done filling the documents, you can then submit for what is called Verification you just need to submit. Its no longer in your hands. Depending on the CAC branch you go to, the verification process are things like your object, how you filled the form and so on. If you filled everything properly, your verification process, would be a smooth, one time thing. Once you pass the verification process, you will be required to pay your registration fees. As at the time of typing this, it costs N4,000 for you registration. You can ask for the current price but I can bet it is well under N10,000. Right at their office, you will pay the fee and obtain a receipt, you will submit your files and documents (because they will return it after the verification). You will be asked to come back in about one week for your certificate. behind the passports and

Can You Beat That? Easy Stuffs! Just go back home or wherever and come back when you were asked to. On the day, you go there and you will be asked to sign. They will give you your certificate as well as some other documents you can keep. You will be needing such documents like when you want to open a company bank account. That is it. Now go out there to register your business names. You can register as many as possible and you can even make money registering it for others for a fee of about N10,000 to N15,000 each.

Take a look at some of their offices. Please note that these addresses are correct at the time this report was written. The CAC can decided to move to another location if they wish to. LAGOS IKEJA: Elephant Cement House, Assbifi Road, Alausa Ikeja.
