How To Write A Business Plan That Will Attract Investors Do business plans still work? Cos it looks like many have written business plans for their new idea or business, and it has not gone beyond that stage. On the other way round, many had started small businesses without ever knowing what business plan is, or attempting to have one, and their business is doing fine and fetching wow results. While ruminating on that, I realized why it don't work, and how it can work. Business plans can help you get funding or bring on new business partners. Every investor want to feel confident they’ll see a return on their investment. And your business plan is the tool you’ll use to convince people to invest in your plan.

Challenges of TV Industries and how to overcome them It looks like the more TV stations spring up, the less people watch them. If you agree with me. Now let's start off by defining this, cos some people simply mix it up. The TV industry here is referred to as network, the type that is mostly owned by the government of each state. Aha! That's it.  The challenges that abound in the TV industry is not a few. Many consider the TV Industry as a form of media that is speedily going extinct.

Many in Lagos are not comfortable with where they live, but cannot do much about it due to the cost of renting, building or buying a more comfortable house. Several entrepreneurs have attempted solving it. Some are still attempting. However, this is beyond a one man's effort. In this article is my attempt to analyze the problems, causes, and possible solutions. ABOUT LAGOS Lagos has a population of more than 22million inhabitants and over 500,000 people adding to the Lagos population every year. It is one of the few cities that have become so big and spanned into another state such that inhabitants of the neighbouring states see themselves more as lagosians than of the state they are in. A perfect example is Sango ota and Mowe in Ogun State which shares boundary with Lagos. A good number of houses in Lagos lay vacant, especially on the island with no occupan
