How Much Did It Actually Cost You to Start Your Small Business in Your City

Everywhere you check online, they will say, ‘Start with 10k,’ but real life no be like that. If you run any small business (online or physical), please share: .* Your city & type of business (e.g., food in Ibadan, fashion in Abuja, POS in PH, or tech service in Lagos). * Your real starting cost (rough estimate: e.g. 50k–100k, 200k–500k, etc.). * One expense you didn’t expect at the beginning (e.g. delivery, rent, fuel, data, staff, packaging). This can help people planning to start in 2026 to budget with sense, not vibes.
