He noted that you do not necessarily need to pay the workers salary.
You simply get the space and the equipment, then arrange with guys that will do the washing on a certain percentage from each of the payment made on the washed cars.and ask the them to give you the rest. It could be shared at a 30-70 percent basis.

Nigeria is blessed with agricultural produce. Most of the produce needs to be conveyed to the market or conveyed from the market to the stalls of the retailers. You can get a truck to do that for the traders and get paid. For instance, in Lagos State, southwestern Nigeria, there are markets notable for food stuff and other agricultural products. The likes of Mile 12 market, Iddo market, Oyingbo market could be your best bet if you are thinking of investing in this segment of transportation business.
“You can decide to get a van and attach yourself to any of the markets around. There are many markets around. When the economy is this way you can run this kind of business,” Dr. Successful Sanmi disclosed.
