With the year still in its infancy, there can be no better time to discuss best investment opportunities than now.

Targets set at this second month of the year are still realisable, followed up diligently.

And anyone interested in viable investment opportunities in the New Year, to help them hedge against the unforseen would find these ones fitting.

The investment opportunities to us, are best because they guarantee maximum returns on your invested money.

1. Commodities Trading

Trading in commodities is one of the investment opportunities that guarantee maximum returns. Good enough, there is an abundance of commodities to trade one depending on your geopoliticalzone of interest.

You do not necessarily have to farm the commodities; only to deploy hands at agreed terms to search, collects, sort and transport to the required spots of sale.

We have instances of commodities trading focusing on crop yields from the north, which they buy off, bag, transport to areas of higher demand using, middlemen and then selling.

The strategy could be tinkered with depending on interest, location and size of business capital.

2.Land Lease Or Land Holding

Landed property can serve very dual purposes, used as farming field on the short run but set to convert to building space for factories or living places on the long run.

Such lands in the interim could be leased with the purpose of being farmed. A mix of cash and food crops could be planted there for the purpose of generating income within the lease period. This also helps to secure the property from land grabbers who usually cash in on long-distance property owners

Other tradable commodities include petroleum products and kerosene which may tend to be sporadic in supply in rural areas

3. Real Estate

Real estate business proper has long been in the list of investment opportunities that guarantee maximum returns investments and does not show any sign of losing. Even as hitherto virgin areas begin to transform to urban settlements, the real estate business there keeps transforming and realigning to suit current realities. From merely selling landed property, a wise investor would begin proper property development and ownership, which even brings higher yields on investment.

The possibilities range from simple kiosk construction, modest office structures to comfortable homes and exquisite offices.

Real estate development is one of 7 investment opportunities that guarantee maximum returns. Individuals and corporates need these properties for one reason or another.

4. Mutual Funds

Mutual Funds may not be on the lips of the average investor desirous of attracting more clients, but it represents one of the most viable.

This is to say that, it is known and patronised by a select few who understand investments of prime value.

The difference with mutual funds is that it operates like a single basket of several investment outlets under one managerial stable. That of course saves the potential investor the hassle of dealing separately ppl 0P with as many investment advisors as cover his interest.

5. Bulk Breaking

With the biting economy, characterised by sheer scarcity of the Naira and high prices, bulk buying readily lends itself as one of the viable investment opportunities.

*Commodities’ trading in bulk has become viable*

,Make the first sacrifice of shoring up business capital, including borrowing on friendly terms to kickstart the business, and you would not have taken a wrong decision.

Sit down first to calculate all expenses involved in sourcing, transporting and breakythe bulk against your expected selling price. Your preliminary assignment should include finding out prevailing selling price around your envisaged sales point location, before fixing your own price.

Your price should be lower to be competitive.

6. Agribusiness Investment

There is a saying that you can never get it wrong with food business.

The statement is true to the extent that feeding is a basic necessity and commands a priority attention in personal welfare planning. It does not however endorse diving in without adequate planning.

Crop planting, animal husbandry and even organising of agribusiness seminars and workshop all come into play.

If you are opportune to have even a quarter plot of land I so-called undeveloped areas, you can turn it to an agribusiness investment location.

That small piece of land can hold as many variety of crops as you can plan for.

It can be an ideal place to go practice mixed cropping such that season to season, there is a farm crop you are tending or harvesting

It could become your demonstration ground for practicals, should you decide to go into agribusiness training.

7. Lunch Pack Delivery Services

Do your personal findings, you would be shocked that the average office worker is displeased with the kind of food available in the office area. There is an annoying regimentation, in fact a very predictable list day after.

There is usually no life, no spice in the menus available. One of the attractive investment opportunities this year, is lunch park delivery services with a difference.

Real vegetable soup, served with intestines, stock fish and dry fish with pounded yam, eba or fufu is still possible.

Undertake a survey to know what is currently available in your location of choice. You could segment the area, and if you capture the executive class for example, your delivery pack could become a status symbol, something that would differentiate the big boys/girls.
