This is a very lucrative business in most countries. Every country has regulations to be taken before setting up this kind of business. What are these conditions in your country?

I don't really have the full knowledge of the amount of capital that is needed to start this kind of business but I know that it is something that is capital intensive.

The business does not require many documentation. It requires only the business permit because the business is readily simple to start and it's very profitable in my locality as there is the ban on the usage of charcoal and kerosine is very expensive too. So they would buy the gas at all costs therefore raising the demand for it.

In my country, it is called filling station. You would need to have millions. Something close to $10,000 to be able to start a small filling station. It pays off massively though.

This involves selling premium motor spirit and DPK. This is one business that has defied location sensitivity. Anywhere the business is located, it would still sell.

It has been many years that gas refilling stations are feasible to gain profit. But then, we need to have a huge capital for this matter. In this way, we can secure our future in the long run.

In my country at least 100 000 euros. There is many regulations for saftey. But most money don't come from gas than from other stuff like snacks, water, beer. It is weird but gas just cover operation cost.

One important factor that has made people so rich in this business is the high turnover they get. They would sell up to 30000 litres of fuel in 3 days. That's because the demand is so huge.

Unlike in the past where gasoline refilling stations are required to have a large area recently they have adjusted and allowed smaller areas. Permit from theme energy agency and environmental clearances must be complied with prior to securing permit from the local. government. Capital investment was also.
reduced.

You must have an underground reservoir which is very expensive to build. You also must have an administrative building and get to buy metres. It is a highly capital intensive business but it always pays.

If you will have refill great but also add electric chargers. Some universal for all cars. You can probably get some support money for such projects since it is part of green energy projects.

The business is very lucrative but an automobile gas refilling business would cost some amount of money and it could run to thousands of dollars.

You are very correct with this assessment because my uncle is actually in this line of business and he is refilling gas which I am sure he started with over 10,000 dollars.

Here are some instructions in my country: gas station can't be nin circle of 50 meters from homes, it must have wide area for fire truck accessing, it must have addition generator with system for preventing fire, all workers must have some special licence.

It is a truly sensitive business and that is why all those regulations are imposed to make it work without hitches. This is one business that environmental impact analysis is important.

First of all it takes huge capital because gas as we know is a dangerous resources if not handled properly apart from huge money for capital
I believe it also takes committed, honest and well mannered staff

The business is trending in my location. People are just doing gas refill almost everywhere it is a simple business that does not require many licensing. It requires money to just start
