Firstly, purchase a truck ( 6-tyre) for moving these logs from the place where they are cut down to the sawmill. This truck may cost about N2.5million.

Then, buy tractors to move the logs away from the bush, get a sawmill operating machine for cutting the wood to various sizes, get a generator having up to 30kva and this costs about N150,000 and hire operators who you pay.

Similarly, it can cost up to N1 million to get the Ministry of Forestry to give a portion of land to cut down trees. There are also miscellaneous expenses from transporting wood from the forest to your factory among others.

Hence, you will need a minimum of N6 million to N7 million for this business.
