Nigeria - Business creation project

Describe your project or startup in a few words

This project is aimed at making cooking gas readily available to customers without having to go to the gas station. The customer registers and buys 2 cylinders which will be refilled and kept for when a customer makes a request and it'll be delivered

01.01 Describe your project in more detail

To enjoy delivery of gas to the comfort of your house, one needs to first and foremost register as a member after which the money for registration be used to acquire two cylinders for the customer. At this point of registration, the customer will provide a detailed address describing his/her residence for easy delivery. The two cylinders will be tagged with the customer I. D number which will enable one to know the size of the cylinder that belongs to the customer before making the delivery. One of the cylinders will be with the customer while the other will be with the company so that whenever a customer's gas is finished, all the customer needs to do is to call and the cylinder with the company which must have been refilled and kept will be delivered to the address written under the customer's I. D number. The registration is free as the money being paid will be used to buy two cylinders of the customer's choice of size and the cylinders belong to the customer as his/her property.

01.02 What is the main problem you are trying to solve?

I'm trying to solve the problem of having to carry a cylinder and even going to a gas station to refill while gas can actually be delivered to your doorstep. Also, to solve the problem of loosing ones food when cooking and the gas finishes because most times while cooking and then gas finishes, the food gets soaked and most times spoil due to the time one has to spend in going with the cylinder to a gas station and back before continuing the meal, so this business seeks to help customers save their energy, time and stress of having to carry a heavy cylinder about in the name of trying to refill gas that can easily be driven and delivered at one's doorsteps without going through the rigors involved in refilling. This business also seeks to reduce the risk of carrying a cylinder around which can be dangerous in terms of accident and other disasters waiting to happen but the delivery guys actually follow safety and precautionary measures while at it thereby mitigating the risks and rigors

01.03 Tell us the major benefits and/or advantages of using the product/service that your project intends to provide (at least 3).

One of the major benefits to customers using our services is that it saves them from the stress of going about with a cylinder which can be dangerous, it also reduce the cost of having to transport to and fro in order to refill gas and also, it saves one from undergoing stress just to refill gas when it can easily be brought to one at his/her doorstep

01.04 Please describe who exactly your project is aimed at serving. Who are the targeted beneficiaries?

The targeted beneficiaries are people who don't want to undergo any stress in the name of trying to refill their gas cylinders and also those who are busy and don't have the time to go out to a gas station in order to refill their gas cylinder
