Why this works in Enugu

Demand in Enugu is strong, and the work is a fair share of repeat work. Setting up is a bit of work, and you could be paid for your first job within a few weeks.

Where the first customers come from

  1. Google Business Profile
  2. Electrician referrals
  3. Holiday-let manager contacts
  4. WhatsApp Business
  5. Local Facebook groups
  6. Jiji

Before you take on work

  • Public liability insurance
  • Anything altering fixed wiring is notifiable electrical work for a registered electrician
  • Smart locks and cameras carry the same data protection duties as any CCTV

Rules vary by council and by country. Check what applies where you are.
