How To Start A Low Cost Pure Water (sachet water) Business (Step by step Approach from start to finish)

Hello cupcakes,

It is a fact that many researchers have written on this However, I feel they failed to understand the financial situation of the country.

The question is: Must I have up to 8-10million Naira and above before I can start a pure water factory? I don’t think so.

So I’m not only going to be writing about how to start a sachet water business but how to cut cost to the fullest.

The Sachet Water Business

Pure water business in Nigeria is a very lucrative business However, many has tried and failed because they did not have a detailed plan or they didn’t seek enough advice from those already in it.

For every business including the pure water packaging business, there is a need for extensive research and this write-up may or may not contain every little detail. You can also check my post on how to start your business with N20,000 / $50

How to get finance and how to cut cost:

Hunt for the best deals

  • If you are not really financially buoyant and you dream of having a sachet water industry. You have to give it time and make it a 2-5 year project.

During this period, you are always on the lookout for the best deals, opportunities, discount sales, black Fridays etc for all the equipment you need to procure.

  • You can also decide to buy or rent an already existing factory and negotiate effectively and truthfully using your business plan with the owner.
  • Another thing you can do is to get Angels Capital from wealthy financiers but to do this, you must have a very juicy practical business plan. This business plan must detail how your beneficiary will benefit and how you intend to grow the business. If he is impressed, he might decide to help you with Angel’s Capital

Equipment and Machines Needed To Start:

We have different types of water purification systems but most popular are:

This you have to study to know which one will be best suitable for your company.

However, most companies uses ultra violet Bulb because it’s cheaper and easier to install.
