In a country like Nigeria, this is a business that is thriving because there is poor and irregular power supply in the country.

Most times power is not available making it impossible and difficult for people to charge their phones. With this problem people are on the look out and seeking for people who can help them solve their problem by helping them charge their phone batteries.

#2. Everyone Uses Phone

The business thrives more due to the fact a lot of people use phones a lot. People use phones for a lot of reasons, for calling, using the internet and other purposes and as such they will need their batteries to be powered and charged.

Also there are people that use more than one phone even having up to three, with these phones having more than one battery due to the poor power supply in the country. So with so many batteries in the environment this means that this is a business that its services will be in high demand meaning more money for you.

#3. It Is More Convenient For People

Due to the poor power supply people who do not have generators or solar panels can not charge their phones and batteries and will therefore charge it with you that have the resources to do that.

There are people who have generators but may not be able to buy petrol or may have their generators spoilt and under repairs and will therefore find it much easier and better to patronize your business.

In the long run it is most times cheaper for people to charge their phone batteries with you than at home when they have no power. When they compare the cost of running their generator and its maintenance cost it may be better charging their phones outside.
