1. Recharge Card MEGA DEALERS

These guys are the biggest dudes in the recharge card printing business. They are widely recognized all over Nigeria and this level requires huge capital to start.
Recharge card mega dealers get their own E-pins(in large quantities) from various Nigerian telecom companies like MTN, AIRTEL, 9MOBILE, and GLO then sell to the wholesalers at their own rates.

The MegaDealer level is not easy to start due to low capital and reduced supply of pins buy the telecom companies.

Overall, it is the most profitable of all the levels that are mentioned here if you have the money and can take risks.

The required capital to set up the Recharge card Mega dealer business is approximately NGN100,000 Thousand Naira – other higher prices depending on your capital. Remember, the more you invest, the more you gain.

AS A MEGA-DEALER, HERE IS THE AMOUNT YOU CAN GENERATE PINS..

• ₦100🔻
For the ₦100 naira recharge pins you can generate at ₦35 naira each..

2. Recharge Card WHOLESALERS

Wholesalers in this industry are those who buy from the mega dealers(often at discounted rates) and sell to the retailers who in turn sell these recharge vouchers to the end-users(customers).
This level is also profitable if you have a good supplier and customers(retailers) who will readily purchase when they are available.
People at this level make 20 Naira for every 100 Naira recharge cards they sell. So let’s do the maths if you’re able to sell 10,000 Naira worth of recharge cards daily to the retailers(this is very easy if you’re good at networking) then you’ll be making a total of 5,000 Naira per day and 150,000 Naira per month.
This sounds like a cool deal to me. To start up the recharge card printing business at this level, you need an approximate capital of  30,000 Naira to 300,000 Naira to earn huge returns by the end of each month.
