How to start a POS business in Nigeria 2024

POS (point of sale) business is one the fastest growing businesses in Nigeria today. It is highly lucrative and very easy to set up. The POS business has bridged the gap between Banks and people and is a thriving business today. It makes it easier for people in rural and urban settlement areas to have access to bank services. The business has reached far into different locations where residents find it hard to get access to banking services.

The POS business is a very lucrative business and anyone can set it up. It doesn’t require any special skill or training, unlike other service businesses. The business requires little capital to set up and you can make an average of five to ten thousand naira daily in profit.

How does a Point of Sale (POS) business work?

POS business has taken the spotlight among the easier-to-set businesses in Nigeria. It can be merged with other trades or run alone. Most shops that deal with large amounts of cash now see it as another way to earn additional income.

The POS business is not very difficult to understand. Some of us have had to pay with our card using a POS terminal at Boutiques, shopping malls, etc in exchange for items, goods, or services. The only major difference when fully associated with the POS business is that cash is the only exchange. You either accept the customers’ deposits or carry out withdrawals for them.

As a registered POS agent, you are under a financial institution like a bank or financial technology company like Opay, Palmpay, etc. You provide different services like deposits, withdrawals, airtime purchases, and many more. For the withdrawal which is the core and popular service normally provided by most POS agents, you use a POS terminal that processes debit card payment – Once payment is successful, the customer gets the amount in cash. Therefore, keeping a reasonable amount of cash at hand is very important to the success of a POS Business.

For every transaction you carry out for customers, you are to charge them. You also get an additional commission from your POS service provider which makes it lucrative especially when you are in a busy area. The amount you get from your POS service provider is called commission.

Is POS business profitable in Nigeria?

According to statista.com, it was recorded that the number of POS terminals has grown significantly between 2017 to 2022 with no drop in any single year. People who acquired the terminals are mostly people who run them for cash transactions.

From our own investigation as well, we found out that it is almost very difficult to take a 10-minute walk around, especially in busy locations, without coming across a POS operator.

Why are many people now in the business? Why is it everywhere and how are they managing to cope with competition?

These are the questions that are likely to put doubt into anyone nursing the idea of starting a POS business. The answer to the question of whether the POS business is profitable or not will depend on certain implementations.

For instance, if you have your business set up close to Banks or ATMs that rarely see many queues, in a place close to ATMs, setting up your business in a location with many established Point Of Sale centers, or running it in a less crowded place will actually give you little due to low turnout of customers.

To be on the profitable side of the business, you need to carry out a feasibility study. Take a moment to explore your proposed place of operation before pitching your tent. Know the number of banks around you, and the banks’ proximity to your location, ask questions if you are not familiar with the location, especially on ease of deposits and withdrawals in such an area, etc.

Moreover, banks do not open on weekends in most places which makes you a lifesaver even for people who prefer to use the bank and with the ATMs that are always out of service on such days. Also, not many want to take a 20-minute drive to the bank to withdraw money especially when there are Point of sales agents around. It not only helps them save on fuel or transportation fares, but it is also quick and faster. Impediments like this ensure that the business keeps growing, which makes it a profitable business.

With all that has been stated, one can conclude that POS Business is very profitable in Nigeria but the level of profitability will depend on your preliminary exploration and execution. Notwithstanding, it is still a business that hardly fails.

How to start a POS business in Nigeria

A POS business is one of the easiest businesses to set up. The procedures of setting up can be concluded within a period of 2 weeks to a month. These steps vary with different service providers. Here are some basic steps in setting up a POS business.

1. Register as a POS Agent

The first step of setting up a POS business is becoming a POS agent. You can register with a local bank or with online banking platforms.

What you need to become a POS Agent

• You must have an active bank account with your bank of choice that has been operational for at least six months.
• For Some banks, it is a necessity to have an active current account with them. At the same time, others require you to deposit a fixed amount of money in the account to activate it.
• You must complete an Agent registration form which can be gotten from the customer care section in the bank.
• You must have a valid means of identification.
• You must have a bank verification number (BVN).
• You must provide a utility bill to verify your location.
• You must have an existing business.

Once all of these conditions have been met and approved the next step is to download the mobile agent app on your phone. These apps can be found on the Play Store for Android phones and the App Store for iPhones. Next is to fill in your details on the app. Some banks require you to deposit an amount of money in your agent account.

After the successful completion of the registration process on the app, you must perform a minimum of 25 transactions (withdrawal, transfer, and airtime purchase) with the account after which you can apply for a POS machine. The POS machine will be delivered to you within 1-2 weeks after your application. As a Bank Agent, you get a commission for every transaction you carry out with the bank POS.

You can also register with an online POS issuing Agency. The steps in registration on these platforms are very similar to that of the bank registration process. In this case, you don’t need to go to the bank to start the procedure. Everything is done online. Also, the percentage charged for each transaction is lower than that of the bank, therefore you stand to gain more profit and their services are more advanced and faster than that of the Bank POS. Some of these agencies include:

• Opay POS
• Bankly
• Fidelity POS
• Monie Point POS
• Firstmonie POS
• Kudi POS
• Payforce
• Paga
• Quickteller Paypoint
• Baxi POS
• Palmpay POS

2. Find a good Location

When setting up a POS business you must put some things into consideration. The level of development of the location, proximity to other businesses, closeness to banks and ATMs, the level of accessibility to your desired network, and also the level of crime in the area.

One of the best locations for a POS business is in rural areas with minimum development and even lesser access to banking services. Setting up in an area where there are very few Bank establishments will be a great boost for your business because members of the community will depend heavily on your services and this can also allow you to charge even higher than those in urban areas where people can easily gain access to banks and ATMs. Setting up in underdeveloped areas also means less competition compared to a highly populated area.

You can also set up in areas with high human traffic like street junctions and market areas. The higher the amount of human traffic, the higher the potential for your business. Another good location for a POS business is in student areas. You can also set up in areas full of other businesses that might also attract customers to you.

3. Get start-up Capital

Capital is very essential in setting up a POS business. You can set up your own POS business with as little as N70,000. This also covers the money for the purchase of your POS terminal. Once you get your terminal, you will need a small amount of cash both in your agent account to perform money transfers and physical cash to pay for withdrawals. Some good sources of start-up capital money are friends and relatives, personal savings, and loans from Banks and other financial institutions.

4. Get a Shop or a Kiosk

Your shop is your business base so it is very important. You can rent a shop or make a kiosk where you will perform your services. Your shop should have a sign to alert customers to the availability of your services. You can also merge with an existing business. You discuss with them and set up a little office in a corner of the shop. This is cheaper and it also provides you with ready customers from those patronizing the shop.

How do POS Agents make Money?

POS agents perform different transactions and each transaction has a specific service charge. Some of the transactions performed by POS agents include:

1. Cash withdrawal
2. Depositing of funds
3. Purchase of airtime
4. Payment of utility bills like electricity and cable
5. Opening of bank accounts
6. Funds transfer service
7. Agent mobile payment
8. Repayment of loans
9. Issuance of mini-account statements.

Service Charges used by People running POS Businesses

This charge can range from N100 to even as high as N3,000 depending on the amount involved in the given transaction. The higher the amount involved in the transaction the greater the charge. Also depending on your location, you can charge more for your services. Having a POS costs you less for each transaction. Some charge a transaction fee of 1-4% and a flat rate of 10 naira for each money transfer transaction. Hence the rest of the money paid for the transaction is your profit.

However, below is the common POS price list for withdrawal and deposit:
