You can start with equipment that is less expensive e.g. 100kva generator will require less capital while if you want to start leasing heavy-duty equipment like Tractors, excavators, oil vessels, and oil Rigs this will cost you hundreds of millions of Naira, if not billions.
However, if you lack startup capital, I will advise you to become a broker and gradually raise the funds needed to do it big or alternatively approach your bank for a loan.

After registering your business with CAC and also opened a bank account for your business, the next step to take is to visit any reputable equipment dealer and purchase the equipment needed to start your leasing business.
