I choose to write about steel rods business today because it is very easy to start. Just a space by the roadside and your start up capital in your hands and you are good to go. You don’t need to keep too many logistics and starting up expenses is highly minimized.
Another thing that really make this business one of the choice business is the fact that steel rods is one of the most used building and construction material in Nigeria or anywhere in the world. That makes trading on this material is very viable because you are sure of constant sales.
Below are some of the available Irons in the market and their estimated prices:
25mm – About N7, 000 per length. 21 pieces make a tonne. It cost N120,000 per tonne
20mm – About N4,000 per length. 33 pieces make a tome. N120,000 per tonne
16mm – Around N2, 200 per length. 52 pieces N120,000 per tonne
12mm – About N1, 200 per length. 93 pieces. N120,000 per tonne

8mm – N700 per length. You get 210 pieces per tonne at N120,000 per tonne.
How to get started is simple and straight forward.
Get a space by the roadside in a developing area preferably. That is where the material sells most for average traders. Big construction companies handling big projects like the roads, building of companies and other massive structures used to get their materials direct from the manufacturing companies. Therefore, your target customers are mainly private and commercial building construction people.
Once you have the space sorted out, you proceed to source for your fund. Base on the estimated analysis above, you know how much you would be needing according to your the quantity you wants to start with.
The most popular steel rods in your target market is from 16mm downwards. These are the most popular steels used for private and commercial building and concrete works in Nigeria.
The best places to buy your steel rods is from the steel manufacturing companies, look for the one nearest to you and get your constant supply there. They usually take it to their customers once you buy in reasonable quantity.
