Thank you, @Charpell

You answered all of my questions. I did not know what an API was.
I do know that a suggestion for another vehicle paper has been raised for ride-hailing cars. (Just like Lagos State cut in with LASDRI for privately employed drivers).
When I think of the database you must hold, I know expenses are high.

Do you mean that you have scaled-back on profit? Does that mean that you would rather go equity than debt? For how long?
I will go back to read what you would be doing differently from GoMyWay.

Good luck, too. I'll keep tracking this. I'll help if I can.

We plan to raise money from investors in exchange for equity. Thank you for your concern, do you mind if i reach out to you? I'd like to know more about LASDRI with Lagos State

congratulations

In today's update, I am going to break down how I ed and incorporated Driveinhud. If you have plans to incorporate your business, this post might be useful to you.

We all know how hard it is to a business, from the paperwork to hiring an agent to processing. Well, the good news is that all of that is in the past. With technology, you can do all that from the comfort of your home. If you have not heard of Norabase, they can help with company registration. I highly recommend them for any startup as they are very reliable, have excellent customer service, and recently raised $1 million.

When I decided to incorporate my business, I was initially overwhelmed by the prospect of dealing with the paperwork and navigating through the bureaucratic processes. However, after researching various options, I came across Norabase. It was a game-changer. Their -friendly online platform made the registration process simple and hassle-free.

The requirements for registration are as follows:

Business Name for search: It's important to choose a unique and memorable name for your business. Thenlogu provides a search function to check the availability of the name you desire.
Means of Identification: You will need to provide a valid means of identification, such as a national ID card, driver's license, or international port.
The cost of registration and incorporation in Nigeria is 60k. This fee covers the necessary documentation and legal processes involved in ing your company. If you have aspirations of expanding your business to the US market, Norabase can assist you in navigating the complexities of international incorporation. The cost for expanding to the US is approximately 200k, but it's advisable to confirm the exact figure with their customer .

One of the benefits of using them is that they offer additional services to enhance your business setup. For instance, they can help you obtain a US address, which can be useful for various purposes such as market presence or shipping logistics. They also provide assistance in opening a current for your business, simplifying financial transactions.

While the registration process was relatively smooth and convenient, it's worth noting that it took nearly two weeks for the entire process to be completed. Considering the paperwork involved and the legal requirements, this timeframe is reasonable. However, it's important to plan accordingly and be patient during the process.

Finally, on May 02, I received an email stating that my application was successful. The documents I received were:

Certificate of Incorporation: This legal document certifies that your business is officially incorporated and recognized by the appropriate authorities.
Memorandum and Articles of Association: These documents outline the internal rules and regulations of your company, including the rights and responsibilities of shareholders and directors.
Status Report: This report provides an overview of your company's registration details, including the business name, incorporation date, and other essential information.
In general, ing my app using technology saved me a lot of time and stress, and it was much cheaper than the traditional way. The convenience of being able to complete the registration process from the comfort of my home was a significant advantage.

If you are considering incorporating your business, I highly recommend exploring online platforms like Norabase and taking advantage of their streamlined processes. Embracing technology can make the journey of incorporating your business more efficient, cost-effective, and accessible to aspiring entrepreneurs.

@Charpell
Sincere apologies for my late reply.
LASDRI is a 'third-party' document, issued by LASG for drivers of privately or corporately owned vehicles.
You see, vehicle registration for company-owned vehicles is grouped under "commercial". As Ride-hailing cars are usually private but app/ corporately coordinated, I can predict that LASG will fall on the more tax- favoured side.

I am so proud of you @Charpell, you have conquered with the little resources at hand.
To all who have contributed, wisdom would never depart you and to us happy for the Op, joy would never depart us.

This will require funding.

Have you ed the app and ed?

Charpell:
Before I begin writing my journey, I want to highlight key stages i would be discussing.

The process of launching an app from idea to profitability can be challenging and complex, but it can also be highly rewarding. Here are the key stages involved in this process:

Idea Generation: The first stage is to come up with an idea for your app. This could involve identifying a gap in the market, solving a problem, or creating a new product that people will love.

Market Research: Once you have an idea, you need to research the market to see if it's viable. This could include analyzing competitors, identifying target customers, and assessing demand.

Planning: Next, you need to plan out the details of your app, including its features, design, and development timeline. You should also consider your budget, funding options, and revenue streams.

Development: The development stage involves building your app from scratch, which can take several months or even years. You'll need to hire a team of developers, designers, and testers to bring your app to life.

Testing: Before you can launch your app, you need to thoroughly test it to ensure it's functional, -friendly, and bug-free. This could involve conducting alpha and beta testing, as well as getting from early s.

Launch: Once your app is ready, you can launch it on the app store or other platforms. This involves marketing your app to your target audience, creating a buzz, and getting early adopters to try it out.

Growth: After launch, you need to focus on growing your base and generating revenue. This could involve optimizing your app for search engines, running paid advertising campaigns, and creating engaging content.

Profitability: Finally, you need to reach profitability, which means your revenue exceeds your expenses. This could involve experimenting with different monetization models, such as in-app purchases, subscriptions, or ads.

Launching an app from idea to profitability can be a long and challenging journey, but with hard work and determination, it's possible to create a successful and profitable app that improves people's lives.

Interesting but this is just like bolt for the middle class kind off,

I'm ready to set a driver verification office here in port Harcourt and increase awareness here in port Harcourt if we can discuss about it further.

The app isn't optimized properly, we can talk behind the scene.

So bolt and the likes are called ride hailing app, the driver will have to drive to the 's location. This is traditionally called Ridesharing.
What I am doing is people who are going the same route come together to split the cost called Carpooling.

So there is no need of verification office as all s both engers and drivers are verified on the app, but you are right about the awareness.

Please could you share your on why the app is not optimized?

yes.

I discover its strictly ridesharing where both driver and s can be verified.


For optimization, the GPS api u use isn't making use of the GPS properly because he can't pick up some location and I think people should be able to a trip even wen verification is pending.

Another stuff that's ridiculous and may scare people is the request for BVN instead of NIN, I didn't provide my BVN after I ve ed my Nin so my verification fail, I think BVN issue should be relate to payment

Healthquest:
yes.

You are right about the GPS, we are working on it
If you let the a trip while verification is pending will pose a serious danger, what if the verification ed at that time were fake, we take precaution to ensure the platform is safe from theft and kidnappers. So what we can do is to hire more hands to fasten the verification process.

For the BVN, i get you, we want to make our verification very strict. Safety is our priority. If we don't ask for BVN, what stops a criminal from ing twice. Like if we ban the they used in creating with NIN, they could create another with their Driver Linsence

Secondly, like you mention BVN is for payments, the app has an inbuilt wallet which will be issued to a when they complete their verification. This wallet is used for the engers to pay trips. CBN says for every bank will create, the BVN of the s should be required.

I hope these answers your questions, if you have more I am here to answer you
Thank you for these s

Nice, I'll reconsider the BVN.

But there' should be a way to detect double registration. Thanks in general but for credibility and s,you'll need physical office and promotion and I can help from port Harcourt when ever you're ready

I talked to my team, and we have decided to suspend the BVN, we are actively working towards curtailing double registration. I will send you a DM to understand how you tend to help me in promotion.
Thanks again for your input

Nice talking to you.

logik29:

Yeah it is.
Have you ed the app and ed?

Yeah!
Most people wouldn't feel comfortable with BVN. NIN is more appropriate.
