HOW TO START A SHAWARMA STAND BUSINESS IN NIGERIA
1. ACQUIRE THE KNOWLEDGE/EXPERIENCE
Before you delve into this business, you must learn how to prepare a shawarma first. Not just any type of shawarma, one that’s classic and tasty..more than every other shawarma in town. If possible, work under a seller for at least, a week. This will enrich you with experience and also boost your confidence. Starting a shawarma stand business is easy especially when you have the knowledge and experience it takes to operate.

2. BUSINESS PLAN
Every business needs a plan, a map that guides the owner how the journey will go. Not having a business plan before starting is like testing the dept of a water with your two feet. If you can’t write your own business plan, perhaps you can contact a business plan writer to help you out just for a little fee. Your business plan will help you determine how much you need to start with and the overall weakness and strength of the business. A business plan will give you an overall analysis of factors that affects the business, whether in a positive or negative way.

3. LOCATION
This is the crucial aspect of it all. Shawarma stand business is best when it’s located in an open place with heavy pedestriann traffic. Don’t expect to make it in this business if your stand is hidden from potential customers. The demand for shawarma is high, but you won’t know if your business is badly located. Make sure you know the factors that makes a good business location before you settle down. Staying close to a school is also a good strategic position.

PROFIT POTENTIALS IN SHAWARMA STAND BUSINESS
After an amazing research, I discovered that this business is not just lucrative, it’s a goldmine. Shawarma goes for N2000. The cheapest you can get it anywhere in Nigeria is N1500. It’s intriguing to note that it doesn’t take more than N600 to prepare one shawarma. If you sell about 10 shawarma a day at the price of N1500, that’s over N15,000. Shawarma stand business is a lucrative venture any day. Imagine making N15,000 per day.. The good thing is, you can sell more than 10 shawarma in a day. Like I said, I know someone who makes over N200,000 a day.
