It depends on the quantity you want to start with. With 10k, you're good to go.

Give or take with 20k you are good to go, that's if you are not using gas to fry.
25litre of vegetable oil is 18500 as at last month I bought it. So what is 20k?

Packaging matters alot in this business bro!! 99%of Nigerians prefer local akara sellers so bit the way you brand yours could differ and get patronage..lemme jus list some things you could need and do the rest.

1) A metal canopy
2)gas cylinder
3)a local customise burner with 3heads
4)3 medium frying pans
5)2small pots for sauce
6)1kettle for boiling water for pap
7)plates
cool benches may be 3
9) show glass
10) seriousness as devotion
11)good location
12)SHINE ON!!

Why don't you give your own advice so the op could take one. You just killed one advice without proffering another one. No be juju be that?

Oga she doesn't need all those heavy utensils. Let me give examples. A dozen of plastic flat plates #1,800, small pot for stew #800, a dozen of spoon #300, A bag of satchet water #300, 2tubers of yam #1,600, Potato #1,000, Plantain #1,500, a table and bench #7,500, firewood #1,500. Rough estimate for all these #16,300. Don't know the price of that big umbrella. But if you are using gas your estimate might increase. Just trying to help her start cause she doesn't need to start on a big scale. As the business progresses you can start adding other things. Hope it helps grin

Big Umbrella is 8k

There is no fix amount, it all depends on the quantity you want to start with. What is more important is utensils and oil, sauce ingredients and the tubers you can start with small quantities. If you sell much that means you need to make more.

Get the cost of your utensils and oil first. Let that be the bases of your budget. Anywhere in Nigeria 2k is enough to buy yam and potatoes

Which 30k is enough to start?
Do you know the cost of vegetable oil?

The cheapest beans now is 400 per derica. Except you want to be buying in very small quantities but oil is what takes most part of the capital because you must have extra oil in case. God help you if you buy the type that dissipates fast.

Just budget 50k.
He said Yam and Potato not BEANS, always read and comprehend before you attempt to comment.

Abeg make una no dey deceive person with all these estimations. Even 50k no go start the business well. The road side you no go build shade or na for under sun people go dey chop? That's if you no go arrange shop ooo.
Na for one small bench customers go sit-down dey chop? If the roadside no be front of your house you think say you go just go anywhere put shop begin dey sell? Every space get owner either private or government and you must dey pay small thing.
Then think of the stress to dey carry your things to and fro everyday, because you no go leave them for road side. The matter look simple and cheap but e hard oooo. Just budget like at least 200k to start small if no be for your house you wan start am.
