The coronavirus outbreak and the uncertainty that it has created have impacted how people make investments that guarantee returns even during economic recessions.

If you are looking to better yourself and serve your community, here are business opportunities that can give you more control over your financial destiny and time.

1. Start Small Scale Fuel Station with Two Pump in Rural Areas

Walk around remote or off-the-major roads areas of Tanzania; you will see some roads and districts with no filling stations at all while others have only one.

Walk around in rural areas; you will see people travel many kilometers to purchase the fuel. Some of them turn to unlicensed suppliers (illegal vendors) whose product quality cannot be guaranteed.

Consumers also often buy and store large quantities of fuel for use, and this has sometimes resulted in fire outbreaks causing damage to property and human life because of poor handling.

This is your opportunity to set up a rural filling station to serve consumers in those areas.

 Major oil marketing companies prefer to set up modern fuel stations in major towns. So they always neglect these rural areas. 

Having your small petrol station in the rural areas is far less expensive to set up and maintain and still guarantees a sustainable profit.

2.Star LPGas (Cooking Gas) Business: 

As long as the food is a fundamental human need, cooking is a human necessity too. When you start an LPGas business, you are sure to make a return because the products are a necessity, not a luxury.

 More cooking is done in households, hotels and restaurants, schools, and colleges. This is the simple reason why you should consider venturing into LPG (cooking gas) business. A hard-working entrepreneur can build LPGas business with good marketing strategies to serve their communities and support their families. 

 

3.Provide supportive services and products to major oil and gas projects like the East African crude oil pipeline project(EACOP).

These projects offer ancillary services such as accommodation, security and transportation, equipment, and material procurement to major energy companies and their main contractors.

 

4.Start Modern Fuel Filling Stations:

To be specific, petrol stations line every street corner. More people are consuming more fuel.

Consider this:

· People are buying more cars. Look at all the cars on the highway—thousands of them—they buy fuel from petrol stations.

· There is still a power-failure problem in the country, so people depend on diesel and petrol—powered generators. They have to buy fuel from petrol stations.

· Aside from that, we’re no longer in the Stone Age where people cook with logs of wood. Now, they buy kerosene from a petrol station for their cooking. Those who don’t use kerosene use cooking gas, which they buy from petrol stations.

There’s an available market to sell to in all the above. Besides selling petrol, diesel, kerosene, cooking gas, and engine oil, those petrol stations:

· Offer car washing services.

· Offer car repair services.

· Have a restaurant and, in some cases, a bar.

· Have a shopping mall.

· Even rent out vacant offices to companies like DSTV, telecommunication companies, etc.

So, you see, economic activities may have lessened in your city, but it seems some economic activities are increasing by the day. 

This is a huge business opportunity if you’re passionate about starting a filling station.

It involves:

• Low risk: The petrol station business is not like the forex market where your investment just liquidates. Or MMM, where your mavros suddenly freeze. Even if you stop running your business, there are still scores of income streams you can tap into.
•  Selling to an already available market: You are not persuading people to buy products they don’t intend to buy like multi-level marketers do. You’re serving people who can’t do without your products.
• ·Opportunities to do complementary businesses: Businesses like car washing, car repair, restaurant, shopping mall, etc

The oil and gas industry in Tanzania opens up lucrative opportunities for small and large players who want to exploit opportunities or be entrepreneurs in the sector. The sad reality is that most of us think and know that kind of business only big business people can do in this sector.

But all you need is authentic information on how to get started in this line of business. So if you are considering starting a business in the industry but have a limited budget, here are five ways to break into the business.

1.Join forces with friends and colleagues

Join up with a few of your friends or colleagues who can support your idea is one of the best options for raising capital to start your project.

The sad reality is that we (Africans) don’t like to join forces and pull up resources to start a new venture. But If we want to reach great heights, we must find a way to work together to expand and contribute to our country and our continent through this sector.

2.Reach out to investors with a bankable business plan

You will have to get private investors to back you to get it started. Thousands of people have done it.

Investors know energy is an essential commodity in a growing country like Tanzania that has rapid population growth.

So there are people who can consume your products. They also know there is money to be made in the petroleum sector.
You can raise funds to start your oil and gas business with a proper business plan and contacts.

3.Look into small Scale oil and gas business ideas.
While opportunities in the industry might sound capital intensive, there are lucrative small-scale investment opportunities in the oil and gas industry.

No matter the size of your pocket, if you look critically, you will still discover small-scale business opportunities you can pursue. There are numerous lucrative opportunities in the petroleum sector, ranging from starting LPGas retail shop and setting up a lubricating shop to creating a small-scale fuel station. There are also opportunities to provide consultancy and support major oil and gas companies in the country.

4.Save Capital to invest.

At almost any income level, you save capital. By spending less than you earn and investing the rest, you end up saving millions of shillings over time. 

Alex James, a former bank employee, proved this well. When he reached out to me for advice on setting up a small-scale fuel station in a small village in the Mwanza region, he saved cash and put all of his savings into the oil and gas industry by starting a small fuel station with two pumps.

 But if you don’t invest, save some cash. You will not have anything left over to invest.

So, what are you waiting for?

  Start today by taking  even the smallest actions towards your ideas. A little things matter. Small actions today can lead to big results tomorrow.

Executive Summary

KIPALA limited will be an innovative lubricant OIL production company that produces and distributes high-quality lubricants to retailers, motorists, automobile and commercial customers in the mining, construction, agriculture, power sectors, and the marine industry.

 The company has incorporated as a limited liability company with business registrations and licensing agency(BRELA). 

The company is desirous of setting up 350,000 liters at Vijibweni Area in Dar es salaam, Tanzania. The main factors that favor the selection of this site are accessibility to transportation and good infrastructure.

The company has management who have experience in the lubricant industry. Our strategic marketing plan will focus on producing high-quality lubricants of wide ranges while building our extensive distribution network in the region.

Opportunity

Tanzania offers one of the largest and fastest-growing markets for lubricant business.

 This could be credited to various reasons like the growth of penetration of used cars in the country, more frequent changes of lubricants from older vehicles, and a good level of economic development and regulatory encouragement.

In the automotive sector, penetration of used vehicles and subsequent lubricant changes in older vehicles increase the demand for lubricant in the country. 

In addition, the introduction of new modes of transportation, including motorcycles (popularly known as boda boda) and tricycles (also known as Bajaji) that require more frequent lubricant changes, provides growth opportunities for individuals and companies interested in starting and running lubricant businesses in Tanzania.

Problems

There is a shortage of lubricant oils production plants in Tanzania. Local market production of lubricants is very few in the country. This led to the importation of substandard lubricants, mainly in Arab countries, South Africa, and Kenya. In turn, it results in the proliferation of the dealers who supply the substandard oils in the maker and causing damage to cars and machinery that drive significant losses to consumers.

KIPALA lubricant plant is looking to fill that gap by building lubricant oils plants with an innovative design that will produce high-quality products according to local and international standards. The plant will have a production capacity of 350,000 liters of lubricants per year. 

KIPALA limited hope to increase lubricant production capacity in Tanzania once the project is operational.

Location

KIPALA lubricant plant will be located at Vijibeweni, Dar es salam. The areas were selected to reduce the transportation hurdle of raw materials from the port of Dar es salaam to our plants. The areas ensure the availability of proper infrastructures.

 Value of the Project 

KIPARA limited lubricant plant will bring the following benefits:

• Increasing production capacity of lubricant in the country
• Employment of local through contractor, products and services procurement from local dealers
• Creating direct and indirect jobs during and after the construction of the project.

There is an immense potential for LPG in Tanzania. LPG is a highly consumed commodity.

There has been a substantial rise in the consumption of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) in the last ten years. The annual LP gas consumption in Tanzania has grown from 5,500 metric tonnes in
2005 to 194,597 metric tonnes in 2020.

Furthermore, with continued economic development in Tanzania and increasing awareness of the use of LPG as the best alternative to firewood and charcoal, the consumption of LPG will grow to a significantly high level in both urban and rural areas.

And with the Tanzanian government’s ambition to scale up the use of LPG across the nation will lead to an increase in LP Gas demand and supply to hotels, homes, factories, boarding schools, army camps, mines, and petrol stations.

The LPGas open up immense opportunities for those who want to be entrepreneurs in this growing sector.

Although competition in the LP Cooking gas business has increased over the past few years in Tanzania, with effective marketing and supply strategies, building close client relationships, and providing complementary services, the newly-established LP Gas retailer like you can still be profitably assured of recovering its entire investment.

LP Gas’s business plan in Tanzania help not only translate your ideas into business and your dreams into reality. It may also be used for bank loans, to write business concept notes, and as a road map for running your business and should be used as an ongoing tool to manage your business and win the competition.

The oil and gas sector has opened up opportunities for big and small players, giving a fairground for those who want to be entrepreneurs in this sector.

The petroleum sector in Tanzania and East Africa is creating wealth for their investors.

But it breaks my heart to say that our people (Tanzanians and Africans) are still at the backbench because of the lack of information. Tanzanians entrepreneurs are brilliant. But we are playing small in the oil and gas industry.

The simple truth is that our local economy could be changed for much better by our greater industry participation.

Why did we wait till now when others had taken the juicy areas in the industry? It’s not too late.

While opportunities in the industry might sound capital intensive, there are lucrative small-scale investment opportunities in the oil and gas industry.

No matter the size of your pocket, if you look critically, you will still discover small scale business opportunities you can pursue

1. LPG(cooking gas wholesale)Distribution

Eligible entrepreneurs can apply to become a significant oil marketing company’s super dealer who will work partly with them to sell the LPG, cookers, Fittings, and site installation in your target region.

Your supplier(large oil marketing company) will supply you full gas cylinders in bulk at a fair wholesale price, and in turn, you will sell and earn a modest profit margin, and you may decide to sell at retail price to double profit.

As a super dealer, you will have to make sure that you have enough gas cylinder stock at any point to meet the orders of your clients instantly. You will also have at least one supply carrier to ensure adequate supply. The initial capital investment for this venture ranges from Tsh 35,000,000 to Tsh 60,000,000

2. Set up small scale fuel filling station with two pumps in rural in rural areas

Not every corner of Tanzania wants to go to the petrol station and eat or buy some groceries. There is the time when you go to the petrol station you wish to your services. So if you are searching for business opportunities, starting a small petrol station can be the best choice.

Furthermore, your petrol station is not necessarily in the city like Dar es salaam or Mwanzania. You can start a small fuel station in the rural areas. Major oil brands that prefer urban areas. So they always neglect these rural areas. Having your small petrol station in the rural areas is far less expensive to set up and maintain and still guarantees a sustainable profit.

3.Become Agent.

As an agent you act as intemidi you bring vendors and operating or oil and gas company together. As agents your role is to get orders and usually earn commission from your services.

For the most part, agents work for vendors or suppliers. For example, you may know oil and gas companies in Tanzania looking to buy certain types of products or services. You might identify suppliers or vendors of the products and services overseas and represent them to oil and gas clients in Tanzania.

If you are working as agent, you run the risk that after you set up that initial contact, the seller( vendors or suppliers) may go right past you and deal directly with the buyer(multinational oil and gas company)

4.Cooking Gas Reseller Shop

Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) market (popularly known as cooking gas) is expected to grow by fifty percent shortly due to the wide adoption of LPG as a source of energy for cooking in residential areas, replacing other traditional cooking fuel such as charcoal and firewood.

The first option to go into the LP Gas business is to set up a retail shop in highbrow areas. Location is a crucial driver to success in starting a cooking gas reseller shop. To start this LP gas business, you need at least 22 to 35 pieces of gas cylinders (preferably 15Kg and 6Kg gas cylinder), regulators and hose, and a weighing scale. You will buy the cooking gas from primary dealers/super dealers and resell it to your target location’s households.

I often wonder how they make a profit seeing that there is intense competition in this business. But the best part is that, as the number of households switching to this fuel increases, demand increases, and more customers arise.

5./Products(Fuel) and Logistics

Due to the increasing demand for petroleum products in East African countries, transportation of these products (for example, premium motor spirit (PMS), diesel, kerosene, and other petroleum products) has opened a lucrative investment opportunity for entrepreneurs. This business is about using fuel tankers (trucks) to distribute petroleum products with transport charges depending on the distance to be covered and the truck’s capacity.

You will have to obtain a license from EWURA to be allowed to transport fuel across the country or to neighboring countries. You will have to purchase a truck and hire a qualified and experienced driver who will haul petroleum products to their desired destination for marketers from the depot.

I would recommend you start with transporting petroleum products from depots to filling stations locally across the country. As your business expands, you can acquire a new license to transit fuel to neighboring Uganda, Kenya, Rwanda, and Congo DRC.

6. Maintenance and servicing 

This is another profitable venture because oil and gas companies have many facilities, including depots, gas plants, tank farms, power plans, gas wells. So, they will always need to fix and maintain them.

And that is where you come in. However, most importantly, you need sufficient technical knowledge and assemble a strong team of service engineers and technicians to satisfy your clients fully.

 

7.Establishment of Gas Cylinder Manufacturing Plant:

It will interest you to know that Tanzania imports the LP Gas cylinders from India. So, there is no functional LP Gas cylinder manufacturing facility in Tanzania, and this presents immense opportunities for aspiring entrepreneurs with a sizable amount of capital to set up gas cylinder manufacturing plants in Tanzania.

8.Consulting

While many consulting firms in Tanzania and East Africa focus on engineering and project consulting, there is a gap in the market that needs guidance, support, and resources for the investors who own or want to start a business in this industry.

So, you fill this gap by starting your consulting firm and providing business support for people who want to build a sustainable business in the oil and gas industry. This business is ideal for people who don’t have huge capital to venture into an expensive oil and gas business but have in-depth knowledge of the oil and gas industry.

 

9.LPG Gas Storage Plant:

 This is a lucrative investment opportunity in Tanzania’s LPG value chain. This kind of investment has multiple sources of income. As a large LP Gas marketer, you import, store and sell LP Gas to super dealers, gas refilling station owners, and you can also sell in bulk to commercial customers like hotels, lodges, schools, and colleges. Furthermore, you can earn additional income by offering installation services of bulk tanks and pipeline networks to schools and hotels that need to use LP Gas for cooking.

The initial capital requirement for this storage terminal is huge: it will require not less than TZS 1.5 billion. However, the business is more profitable as you’d sell the LPG in bulk.

10.Go into the Retailing and Supplying of pumping Machines.

If you have visited a gas station/filling station before, you will notice that the means of retailing fuel, diesel, gas, and kerosene et al. is via a well-calibrated pumping machine. This goes to show that there is a market for pumping machines.

 

11. LPG Re-filling Plant/Center: 

I’d recommend this to anyone with financial muscle. As a refilling center, you will purchase bulk LP Gas and sell it to distributors and consumers. It’s capital intensive and the total project cost for setting up a refilling center in Tanzania is TZS 250 million to TZS 300 million.

12.Host Industry Events and Conferences

Suppose you don’t have the massive capital to venture into those expensive oil and gas businesses, but you have passion for the oil and gas industry. In that case, you may consider putting together industry events, helping professionals and companies learn about new development across the industry, and building valuable relationships for career and business development.

If your event can attract relevant decision-makers in the industry, you will make handsome money from attendees and sponsorship from companies looking for visibility and exposure across the oil and gas industry.

 

13.Start a Petrol Station

If you’re brainstorming in order to find a perfect business idea in Tanzania and East African oil and gas sector, investing your cash in the petrol filling station business is a wise decision.
This business ensures steady profit in a reasonable time from setting up. You might feel the market is already flooded, but you can come in and have a go at it. Petrol stations are in every street corner because they make insane profit.

Don’t get me wrong. I am not saying this to brag. Instead, I am telling you this because I’ve carried out solid research. So, I can confidently tell you that this is one of the right business opportunities to pursue.

The filling station market emerged in tandem with the automobile industry.
Most important is the emerging mode of transportation. There are tricycles or “boda-boda,” as everyone calls it, and it has increased the demand for petroleum products in Tanzania. The good news is that, all these vehicles and generators run on diesels or petrol.

With petrol station in every street corner, you might feel the market is already saturated. But with a good location, commercial expertise, systematic marketing and a wide range of services, new entrepreneurs like you can win the competition in this business.

14 Setting your own lubricant blending/Manufacturing Plant

The demand for lubricant oil such as blended motor oil, brake fluids lubricating greases, and other oil-based additives is huge in Tanzania. There are only six lube oil plants in the country that are insufficient to meet the existing demand for lubricating engine oil in Tanzania. Even the energy regulatory agency argue investors to set up more lube oil plants to minimize the importation of substandard engine oil into the region

 

 15.Cooking Gas Products and Accessories

Offering LPGas products and accessories like cookers and fitting is another lucrative business opportunity in Tanzania.

16. Start a Filling Station Construction/Building Company

Another lucrative business in the oil and gas business value chain that an entrepreneur should consider starting is a filling station construction/building company. It is essential to state that you can only successfully start this type of business if you have the required training, experience, and technical skills. Investors are investing in the filling station business, so contractors will always have a market to construct filling stations.

17.Go into the Retailing and Supplying of pumping Machines

If you have visited a gas station/filling station before, you will notice that the means of retailing fuel, diesel, gas, and kerosene et al. is via a well-calibrated pumping machine. This goes to show that there is a market for pumping machines.

18. Health and Safety Training for Oil and Gas Workers 

Another thriving and profitable business in the value chain is health and safety training for oil and gas workers. If you have the necessary background (experience and qualifications) to train on health and safety, you should consider starting an organization that trains oil and gas personnel. Health and safety are taken seriously in the oil and gas industry simply because of the risk and hazards that workers are subjected to carrying out their jobs.

19. Manufacturing and Sale of Oil and Gas Equipment and Tools

Manufacturing and selling oil and gas machines and equipment is yet another thriving and profitable oil and gas-related business that an investor looking towards starting a business in the industry should consider. Oil drilling and exploration equipment, pumping machines, casing, and pipe stacking and handling equipment, pumps, slush, oil and gas rig, gauges and meters, valves, actuators, regulators, cranes, and lifting equipment, hazardous area electrical equipment, and several other equipment and machines are marketable. So, if you are looking for a business to start in the oil and gas industry, then one of your options is to go into manufacturing and selling oil and gas machines and equipment.

20. Welding Services for oil and gas companies

Another profitable and thriving business in the oil and gas industry that an entrepreneur looking towards starting a business in the industry can successfully begin to after acquiring the required training is to offer welding services. Welding is one of the services needed in the oil and gas industry to deliver precision welding jobs. So, if you are looking for a business to start in the oil and gas industry, then one of your options is to provide welding services for oil and gas companies.

21. Go Oil farm/Depot Storage Services

Imported fuel, as stated above, is stored in tank farms. Most oil marketers don’t own tank farms and, as a result, always need to keep their petroleum products in other tank farms. With a sizeable operating capital, you can construct a tank farm for the sole purpose of leasing it out to oil marketers who bring in petroleum products.

22. Open a Training School/Institution

There are very few colleges and universities that offer specialized training in the oil and gas sector. Starting an institute focused on the oil and gas industry is a good idea. Choose a niche, hire trained instructors, lease property and provide a robust curriculum.

23. Go Sell Equipment

The oil and gas industry uses lots of machinery to carry out its activities. You can buy or fabricate equipment targeted at a sector. The business is lucrative and requires lots of investment in money, technical knowledge, and testing.

24. Retail Kerosene

Kerosene’s business is profitable and has a vast market. People use kerosene for cooking meals and light fires.

25. Oil and Gas Enterprise Software Application

Technology companies are equally not left out as they can build tech solutions specifically targeting the oil and gas industry and license the software to companies in the sector.

    26.Start a Crude Oil Refinery.

Tanzania imports millions of tons of refined petroleum products annually. By building a crude oil refinery using limited stock feed supply in Tanzania, you will reduce the number of petroleum products imported and cater to the booming consumer demand by providing Tanzanians with affordable petrol, diesel, jet fuel, and other petroleum products.

Setting up a crude oil refinery requires vast startup capital, but it is very profitable to pull up resources to start this business.

27.Build a Website

With lucrative construction and engineering project coming online in the region, there would be a huge demand for qualified people to implement the projects. So venturing into these opportunities can be a wise decision.

35. Start training and development company

The discoveries of massive natural gas in Tanzania and the resulting investments in infrastructure such as ports, oil and gas pipelines, and renewable energy projects have created a significant demand for local workers in Tanzania. The sad reality is that operating companies find it difficult to attract highly qualified local people to implement the projects in the region.
