Hawayu Wazuans,

I want to go into retailing parafin. I have noted that the demand for the same is quite high within the area identified by me. I have never engaged in this kind of bizna before though I think I will make good money out of it.

I need help on where and and what prices to acquire a new pump and some few drums (2) to start with. What else will I require since I am coming from a point wher I have nothing except I am able to raise the required capital hoping it will be in some very few hundreds of thousands.

I will appreciate any advice or experince from you guys.

did this biz back in 2008, bought a second hand fuel pump at 80k at some market in kayole then bought four drums that would hold 1k litres, back then was buying parafin @56/ltr and selling @ 67/ltr the returns were decent but be carefull and hawkeyed with whom you hire to run the biz. it cost me like 170k for the initial costs and sold the biz for 250k after a year. new pumps are very expensive
