Starting-cost estimates are shown in Nigerian naira and reflect Nigerian reference conditions. If you are outside Nigeria, use them only as a planning reference and check current costs in your own location.

Useful before you spend.

Work through the sections below, record what you learn and use real responses—not excitement alone—to decide whether this opportunity deserves your next step.

01The customer problem

You can make this opportunity clearer by focusing first on experienced adult coordinators. They are looking for a clearly defined result delivered reliably, at an agreed price and within an agreed time. Your first task is to confirm that this problem occurs often enough to justify a small test.

02Operating it in your location

Charge according to the number of sites, inspection frequency, issue logging, supplier calls, quotation reviews, emergency availability, travel and reporting required. Agree approval limits and emergency contacts in writing, use verified tradespeople and keep contractor costs separate from your coordination fee. Apply the country’s contractor licensing, building code, workplace safety, insurance, tax and emergency-reporting rules, especially where electrical, fire or mechanical systems are regulated.

03What you need to test it

A reliable phone or computer, a tested workflow, organised files, a clear customer brief and a secure method of delivery.

04Your first practical test

Define one small service area and one tightly limited task, then complete no more than two or three trial jobs while recording time, transport and customer questions.

05Likely customers

Begin with experienced adult coordinators. Choose one group for the first test so your message, sample and price are specific rather than trying to appeal to everyone.

06A simple first offer

A limited facility maintenance coordination offer for one defined customer group, including a clearly defined result delivered reliably, at an agreed price and within an agreed time, one agreed delivery date and clearly stated boundaries.

07Sample customer message

Hello. I am testing a focused facility maintenance coordination offer for experienced adult coordinators. It is designed to provide a clearly defined result delivered reliably, at an agreed price and within an agreed time. I can show you a sample or explain exactly what a small first service includes. Would this be useful to you or someone you know?

08Seven-day demand test
  • Day 1: Choose one specific customer group and write down the problem you are solving.
  • Day 2: Prepare one sample, demonstration or small test offer.
  • Day 3: Calculate the direct cost, time required and a realistic trial price.
  • Days 4–5: Contact five to ten suitable people individually and record their exact responses.
  • Day 6: Review questions, objections, price reactions and genuine requests.
  • Day 7: Decide whether to refine the offer, test another customer group, pause or proceed.
09Risks and boundaries

Use only authorised material, verify facts, agree on revision limits and avoid misleading claims, impersonation or unlicensed media.

10Evidence worth noticing

Strong evidence includes requests for a price, a sample, a delivery date, a paid trial or a referral—not compliments or social-media reactions alone.
