From time immemorial bread has
actually been one of the major food staple. Every household in Nigeria loves
bread, even most families in Nigeria eat bread more than once every day and the
bread is eaten in various forms with different spices. That is why venturing
into bread distribution business in Nigeria is one of the most ideal small
businesses to start right now.
Furthermore, in Nigeria there is
hardly any religion group or tribal group that doesn’t eat bread, therefore
starting this business simply means you are dealing in product that is in high
demand, and whatever profit you are making from it is going to be a stable profit.
The best bread for supply is slice
bread, this is because of its higher quality. The truth is that not everyone

The requirements to run Bread supply
business in Nigeria
The requirement of starting bread
distribution business in Nigeria is very simple and is a requirement anyone can
meet up with. This business is one of the cheapest business anyone can start
and you don’t really need any further training more than what I’m going to
explain here. Below are the requirements to run a bread supply business in
Nigeria.
1. A good customer base: To run a bread
supply business in Nigeria you need good customer base. What I really mean is
that you need retailers you’ll be supplying to, actually the more retailers you
have as your customers, the more bread you will be supplying to them and the
more money you will be making in the business.
2. Get a means of transporting the
breads: Actually you need a means of transporting the breads to your customers because
in most cases they don’t come to you, you are the one that will go to them to
make supply and collect your money. You can get at least a motor-bike for this
purpose.
3. You need to source for good
marketable bread: For you to really succeed in this business you need to get a
very good product that people love, is not compulsory that you must supplying
all the bread brands, one type can be enough but you need to get the one that
will be highly acceptable by consumers.
4. You need to get a shop or offloading
point: Before you venture into bread supplying business you need to get a shop
or an offloading point. It is from this
offloading point you can now distribute the breads to the retailers. You can
also store any remaining bread that you’ve not supplied in this offloading point
for future distribution.
5. Go to the bakery for negotiation: You
need to personally go to the bakery to negotiate the franchise, the manager of
the bakery will be very happy to do business with you because you are bringing
new business to them.
6. Look for retailers: After getting the
exact brand you want to supply, the next thing you need to do is to find the
retailers. Start by talking to some provision shop owners and bus-stop bread
women. Actually these 2 set of people are really your biggest prospects as far
as sliced bread supply business is concerned.
7. Purchase your supply equipment: Depending
on your capital, you can purchase a motor-bike if you have the money. Getting a
motor-bike will make your supply so easy and it will help you to reduce
over-head costs. If you don’t have the money to purchase a motor-bike you can
be paying Okada man to take you round.
