If you’re here to learn the simple guide on how to write business proposal in Nigeria and win the heart of your clients without much ado, this blog post will walk you through the right path.
Have you ever met a client who demanded you write a business proposal for him/her before the negotiating project(s) will be awarded to you?
If yes, I know how it’ll feel because it might seem challenging just like when I was accosted by a big client from United States of America (USA) who told me that without a detailed and formal business proposal, no job for me!
Business proposals have become common in today’s world, with many not knowing how to go about writing it. But you may be asking…
What is Business proposal?
A business proposal in Nigeria is like any business proposal in the world.
It is a written document stating an intended form of business to a client, seeking their support in the process. Support in the case isn’t just monetary, it could be in psychological or material form – something that’ll benefit your intended business.
But Business Plan is NOT Business Proposal….
It’s so sad that many people outside there are interchanging the term business proposal for ‘business plan’, which is 100% wrong because both terms are quite different.
Yes, writing business proposal in Nigeria is different from writing business plan and you shouldn’t make any mistake taking the two as one. But they both share certain similarities such as;
- They are both written document
- Proposal is for a client(s) or sponsors while your business plan doesn’t need to be submitted to anyone, you could just write a plan that’ll guide your daily operations.
Before setting out to write a business proposal in Nigeria, some personal and financial-oriented questions need to be asked, with appropriate answers given.
Now, let talk about these questions:
Questions to Answer While Writing a Business Proposal in Nigeria
· What’s the business all about?
Defining your business model to yourself is the first step to writing a good business proposal. What does your business intend to do, what are the necessary skills required to run that business successfully, have you got those skill, if yes, that’s good. If no, what are you doing in other to learn the ropes of such business?
Lots of questions that you’ll be asking yourself and providing answers to. It’s best all these are written down, as most of us lack that habit of writing important things – yes, important things because in the long run, it’ll determine the level of success or failure our intending business.
· Who are your target audience?
This is trivial question that needs to be answered. Once you define your target audience, you decide how you’ll be scaling up your business or service to better suit them. Your target audience could range from people at a particular geographical area, to age grade – let’s say the young folks or their counterparts.
If you’d be offering more than a product or service, then I’m sure not every product will be for everyone. In this case, you’d have to define the audience for each product or service you intend offering.
· Size of Capital
If you want to write a business proposal in Nigeria that’ll speaks your business and as well, convince your prospective client, you’d be soliciting for a kind of support and most times, this is monetary.
You should define how much will be needed to take your business off the ground to somewhere around the zenith. What plans have you set aside for getting your capital, do have some money or equipment that’ll aid you in starting this unique business of yours? Or, are you thinking of getting a loan?
To be frank and sincere, people won’t think of supporting you, if you don’t have anything in form of finance in place, your client(s) will require you to show some working – it’s your business and not theirs, you have to remember that.
· Why this business?
What makes this business you intend proposing unique, how is it different from other businesses, are their similar businesses with similar profit opportunity, if yes, why are you going for this one, is it more or less stressful, does it helps the environment or degrades it? If it does, how do you intend to minimize to the lowest level its dangerous effect to the environment?
These are some questions that needs well-articulated answers as they’ll be needed by your client meaning, they should appear in your business proposal.
· Profitability
This is probably the most important question you’d be providing answers to, the most important to your client(s) as they wouldn’t like to invest or support a business that isn’t profitable.
This is the most difficult question to provide an answer to, how does your fantasies turn out to be real profit?
It’s a business you’ve not yet started but you may draw some insights from those already in the business, but if you’d be starting something ‘unique’ that no one has done, then you’d have to define how your profit will be made.
With all these being put into consideration, you could begin crafting your unique business proposal in Nigeria.
· Writing the proposal
Since a proposal come in the form of a written document, there needs to be a way to structure it according to standards. Minds you, this is not a one-page document – business proposals could run into lots of pages so it’s best you take your time to effectively structure it.
Now let start!
How to Structure and Write a Business Proposal in Nigeria
- Cover page and Letter
This is the first part of the proposal document – the cover page followed by the letter. The cover page will include specific details about you and your intended business, and also the person being addressed to. Coming over to the cover letter, you’d have to give some brief info about the business to want to engage in and how beneficial it is before heading over to the next section.
- Index
Next on the proposal will be the index of content which will make it easier for anyone reading to navigate the document. They could skip the already read pages and move to the unread page. The pages should be properly numbered.
- Reason for choosing this business (Content)
This is the part where the questions asked above begins to come in, why you choose to venture into the business, problem this business will solve, and what makes the business unique from other businesses.
- Problem solving strategy
You highlighted some problem above, how your biz intended to go about solving those problems and what strategies are to be employed, this is what comes next on your document.
- Duration
What’s the duration you’d be taken to accomplish such, your clients will need to know this so as to know the kind of investment to wish to venture in. The duration needs to be feasible not to long, and if it’s going to be, give reasons why.
- Cost
Telling ourselves the truth, the reason for writing a business proposal is to get assistance from investors in form of finance and materials for the business. The price for the whole cost of things should be stated properly and how they’d be utilized.
Most time, investors would want you to have something in place before reaching out to them for financial support.
So, it’s imperative you already have some money to start out yourself.
Conclusion – Writing a Business Proposal in Nigeria
To write a business proposal in Nigeria could prove to be a quite difficult task as most people lacks persuasive writing skills and this has deterred a lot of them from getting started with that outstanding business idea on their head.

7 Super Professional Tips to Build a Successful Business in 2022

Published
1 year agoon
December 21, 2021It is a new year and you’ve been thinking of how you can build a successful business but don’t know how or where to start. Let’s talk about that and see if you’ll learn something, or be inspired.
Some businesses fail because they’re following old blueprints which no longer work effectively to build their startup.
We’ve learned a lot between 2020 and 2021, and we’ve seen how businesses are affected by the ongoing Corona Virus pandemic. But ideas to start or build a business are waxing stronger in us, how are we going to bring these ideas to reality?
But is 2022 the right time to start a business?
Yes, it’s never too late to start a business in 2022 and you are still going to see rapid growth if you put in all the efforts.
Regardless of the Coronavirus and its variants, you’ll agree with me that starting and building a business these days is easier compared to a few years ago as a result of technology and more investors who’re ready to provide capital for a futuristic business plan.
According to a report, investors spent more than $140 billion to support startups in 2017 and the figures have increased ever since then till date. This shows how people like you are creating something or a platform that solves a ‘problem’ and how people are ready to support it.
If you’re also planning to launch your startup, you’re welcome, it’s never too late to be phenomenal.
Aside from investors who’re ready to invest, you don’t necessarily need to build your business by renting a big hall or apartment for office use, thanks to COVID-19, you can gather your team and work remotely, while you’re saving a lot of money that will go into office setup.
If you have a good business plan or startup idea and you’re worried about what to do next, the following tips will help you get started;
7 Tips to Build a Business in 2022
#1. Do Your Research and Understand Your Mission
You see, a lot of people see other people building stuff and they got jealous to build something too – this is a wrong motivation to start a business.
You have to think clearly about what you want to do, you ask yourself: “In what way(s) can this idea or business help people?” – emphasize “help people”.
If you want to start a fashion design company, do your research thoroughly and understand that you’re about to build a type of business some people have built already. So, how are you planning to get better and beat your competitors?
For instance, can you think of a unique fashion trend and dominate it for the long term? If yes, what fashion trend and how can you hit the market with your idea?
You have to plan all these, you just don’t voluntarily jump into the ocean without knowing if it’s safe or not. If it’s not safe, then how are you going to survive?
#2. Get a Team Members with Common Goals
The spirit of being the CEO and (sole) founder is part of what’s killing some businesses and startups to date. I’m not saying you can’t build a business alone, you can! But you can’t survive alone. If you survive alone, you won’t go far alone.

People (Team) Working Together – Credit: Pexels.com
You have to understand this concept. If you read about big business builders in the world, you’ll notice one thing that’s very common to them – they don’t build alone!
Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, Elon Musk, etc., will tell you that they called their friends when they were about to start their company. Why? It’s simply because they need teammates who can work with them to achieve their primary and respective goal(s).
The reason is simply that if one is falling, another person will lift him. And this boils down to you looking and calling the right people to join you or else if you fall, that’s the end of the business.
So look for the right people in your circle, during meetups, on social media, share the business idea with them and be patient to see those who’ll be ready to join you.
Getting team members here is different from hiring people. You have to look for someone or some people who’re ready to take ownership of the business and work diligently.
They can in turn be your co-founder, CTO, etc… Just make sure you’re careful and patient enough to see someone with the same common goal.
#3. Start Building with the Little You Have:
You know the type of business you want to build and you have someone or some people who are ready to work with you. The next thing is to start building that business with the little resources you have.
The mistake most people make is that they’re waiting for the “perfect time” and that time translate to when they have sufficient money to invest in the business. The truth is that that perfect time won’t come unless you start now.
And I will like to say this if you’re starting a new business but you don’t have money to invest personally, you’re still not going anywhere. It’s either you get a job, make money and come back to that idea or, you sell the business idea to someone else.
The bottom line is that you have to start from you, even if you will need investors to inject capital into your business, you have to show them something – your ideas + efforts.
#4. Create Good Information and Communication Flow
As part of what you’re starting with, is how you can bridge the communication gap between your business and your target audience (investors included). That’s why you need to invest in creating that information and communication flow.
This is not a big deal at all, you just need to create an online presence for your business by getting a website, getting on social media, and investing in Email marketing or CRM tools.
If you can’t build the website yourself, you can hire freelancers to get the job done for you, there are free email marketing tools like MailChimp that you can get started with. You can hire an expert to manage your business’s social media handles for you too. The person will be in charge of content creation, posting, and attending to comments.
Having a website is very important, if it’s just a landing page, do it and let people know about your business from there and use your social media handles to keep telling people about your mission, not that loudly tho.
#5. Start Expanding the Business
You’ve tried a lot, but it’s not the time to relax. It’s time to start thinking of expansion. I mean expansion at all lengths.
If you launch your business to focus on people in Canada and they accept it with open hands, it’s time to expand to New York, and then to Paris, to Africa, etc.
In your team as well, you need to have some people who will be in charge of marketing, human resources, engineering, international relation, legal, and many departments within your company.
With great power comes greater responsibility, the more you’re growing, the more you should expand.
But what if your company can’t afford to hire people you need to run the business as you’re thinking of expanding, is that the end? No, it’s not!
#6. It’s time to Seek Business Funding
This is not a must if your business can afford to finance itself, but I bet it can. As a startup that’s at the entry or expansion stage, you need money to take care of a lot of things and some people are ready to provide that money!
There are people called Angel investors and some are called Venture capitalists, these people are in the business of investing in other businesses to make a profit. No money is too big to invest for VCs as long as your company’s evaluation is also big.
If you think your business need funding, kindly check this blog post on how to get one for your business.
#7. Don’t Stop Expanding; Invest More in Your Business
You’re not there yet. Start investing more in advertising, your team members, think of innovation and, acquire other related small businesses.
Just don’t stop growing!
I hope these tips will help you start that business in 2022 and I believe you can conquer the world, don’t worry, start today!

MTN’s IPO: How to Buy MTN Shares with less than N50,000

Published
1 year agoon
December 3, 2021Here is your time to shine, you can now buy MTN shares and join the leagues of MTN shareholders in Nigeria.
Nigeria’s telecommunication giant, MTN Nigeria recently announced the selling of 575 million of its shares to the public on Tuesday, November 30th, 2021. Just in case you don’t know what “shares” is, let’s me quickly tell how it works;
What are Shares?
Share simply means a percentage of ownership in a company. Those who hold these shares are called “shareholders” and you can also call them “investors”.
What that simply means is that, let’s say you buy MTN shares, you have a percentage of every percentage of the company. If the stock rises, your share rises and vise versa.
How Shares Work?
The more shares of a company you’re holding, the more decision-making power you have in that company and the more your profit if the company is performing well.
Let’s say you buy 250 units of MTN shares at the rate of N169 each, which is N42,250.
And luckily, MTN stocks jump to x10, that’s also N42,250 x 10 for you. You’ve made N422,500!
That’s just the simple idea, if you know how FOREX, stocks, or cryptocurrency work, you have the idea of how Shares work also.
But you don’t need to panic because MTN Nigeria is leading and doing well in Nigeria, investing your money to buy from their shares will be a good return on investment (ROI) for you.
…and this is a golden opportunity if you’ve been looking for where to invest your money.
Right in this blog post, I’m going to share with you how can buy these MTN shares easily and answer a few things you may want to know. But let’s start with the eligibility and requirements;
