2026: How to Start a Mobile Accessories Business in Lekki, Lagos | 7hubent Lagos Business Marketing
(Yes, I’m about to tell you how to hustle and make money with phone chargers, cases, headphones — but first, let me tell you a story.)
A Story from Lekki That Feels Like Yours
I remember the first time I walked into Lekki Phase 1, heart pounding, pockets light. I had zero shop, zero capital, just a dream and a used smartphone. I saw people with flashy phone cases, power banks, Bluetooth headsets — all moving. My stomach said: Do something.
I borrowed ₦100,000 from a friend (I know, risky), rented a small corner space in a mini-mall, bought a few “hot” items (fast chargers, tempered glass, earphones), and started posting on WhatsApp, telling neighbors, hawking a little. In the first two weeks, I made ₦50,000. By month three, I expanded to a stall.
That hustle taught me: success in mobile accessories is about trust, presence, and smart marketing — not just the gadget itself.
Now, I want to share exactly how you can build a thriving mobile accessories business in Lekki in 2026, using smart steps and free tools like 7hubent Tech.

Step-by-Step Guide: Launching Your Mobile Accessories Business in Lekki (2026 Edition)
Here’s your battlefield plan, in steps:
| Step | What You Do | Why It Matters | Quick Tip |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1. Market Research & Niche Picking | Walk Lekki malls, mini-malls, Computer Village in Ikeja, see what’s selling. Also research online. | You can’t sell “everything to everyone” — you’ll stock too much. | Focus: fast chargers, power banks, wireless earbuds, protective cases. |
| 2. Validate Demand Locally | Ask people in your area: “Do you use wireless charger? Which brand?” Run mini polls locally. | That prevents you from storing dead stock. | Use your own social circle or WhatsApp groups to ask. |
| 3. Source Reliable Suppliers | Go to Computer Village, Alaba, import (Alibaba, etc.). Ask for quality assurance. | Counterfeit junk kills your reputation. | Start with small test orders first. |
| 4. Register & Formalize | Get business permit (Lagos State), TIN, open bank account. | Customers trust “registered shop” more. | Even as a small shop, show receipts. |
| 5. Set Up Shop Smartly in Lekki | Pick busy walkways, mini malls, near estates. Lease small. | Foot traffic matters more than size. | Use good signage, lighting, security. |
| 6. Price Strategy & Margin | Start with 30–50% markup (for accessories). | You need cushion for promos, discount. | Bundle deals: e.g. charger + cable at small discount. |
| 7. Marketing Using Free Tools (That Don’t Cost You Sweat) | Use 7hubent Tech (free adverts), WhatsApp groups, Instagram reels, TikTok. | Advertising costs money — use smart free channels first. | Get on 7hubent — it’s been helping small businesses for free. |
| 8. Test, Optimize & Scale | Track what sells, what doesn’t. Cut slow movers. | You don’t grow by adding more chaos. | Slowly expand to online — Jumia, your own site. |
You see how crisp that is? Clean steps = easier to act.
How Much Money Do You Need to Start (Estimated)
-
According to Truehost Nigeria, a small phone accessories business can start with ₦200,000 to ₦500,000 (inventory, shop space, branding) (Cheapest Web hosting in Nigeria)
-
If you aim bigger, you may need up to ₦1,000,000+ for broader inventory, staffing, premium location.
In my Lekki startup, I used ₦120,000 and reinvested profits. The first ₦50,000 went to a better shelf, better display. That small reinvestment was what changed my income trajectory.
