I intend starting frying puff puff, doughnuts and eggroll on the roadside or junction.

Pls who knows how profitable dis business is?

Can i use it to raise a family?

Puff puff, doughnuts, and eggrolls are all very popular snacks, so they could definitely be profitable.
The potential to raise a family with a snack business really depends on a lot of factors, like the cost of living in your area, your household expenses, snack location,target audience, competition and the profit potential of your business.

It's important to carefully consider all of these factors before making a decision.

what the woman before me said.

Well said.

And he has to take into consideration the rising cost of basic ingredients like flour, sugar, vegetable oil, gas, eggs... etc. Cos if the cost keeps rising, it would definitely affect his profit.

@Op

If this was 10 years ago, I would have encouraged you to carry on, cos you'll record massive profit. But today, inflation might make you struggle in the business. A bag of 50kg flour is 49k. You've not even bought oil, sugar, gas, eggs...etc.

If you're spending 49k alone on flour, how much do you want to sell your snacks to customers? If you put your price too high, you'll certainly record poor sales. Cos people expect the prices of those kind of snacks to be between 10-200 naira. Anything above that figure would be considered too expensive.

Many people don't understand how Tinubu's policies is killing small scale businesses in the country. As bad as people felt Buhari was, things wasn't like this during his tenure.

Find better bus-stop or school location.......make sure you make them hot

Send me location when all is done, you have gotten a customer already

What about selling real foods instead of snacks? With real food, you can raise a family with it. You can also do catering for others, and expand with it.

Also, real food have a way of absorbing the food needs of the family. Your family can feed off from it and you won't feel it much, compare to buying food from scratch to cook.

Location is very important
