Are you thinking of a business to start while observing your one-year national mandatory service? If ‘yes’, you are on the right page. This post will show you a list of profitable business you can start during your NYSC or even after the program.

Business to start as a Corps Member
Below are businesses you should consider:
1. Start private tutorial
As a corps member, you can make a lot of money by starting private tutorial for secondary school students. You can even stay back in the community after your service year to do this business. You will make much money if you teach those preparing to take junior WAEC, WASSCE, NECO, GCE, JAMB and post-utme. To start this business, all you need to do is to get a venue (can be within school premises) and inform your host community. You can also print posters and distribute them in the community.
2. Set up a laundry outfit
Washing, rinsing, drying and ironing clothes can be tedious. So, many people prefer taking their clothes to dry cleaners. Aside washing clothes, you can wash bedsheet, rugs, etc. Laundry service is one way to make cool money during your service year. All you need to start are medium-sized washing machine, detergents water, starch, pressing iron and a flat table top. If you can give little pecks like free deliveries and going round to collect clothes, you will be a talk of town.
3. Blogging
Many Nigerians are making a lot of money blogging and you can be one of them. You can start a blog by creating a website. To build a successful online business, you need to work hard as it is not easy to make money through that means.
