Virtual Top Up (VTU) is one of the easiest businesses to start because you need a small capital to commence.
Virtual Top Up in its simplest term is selling prepaid cards digitally to potential customers.
The Virtual Top Up business has gained a lot of ground over the years as Nigerians slowly move away from buying paper prepaid cards.
Despite this, the paper prepaid business is still viable as there a good number of Nigerians who still prefer the paper card than the VTU.

1.) VTU SIM Card for all the networks (Glo, Airtel, 9Mobile, and MTN-for MTN, you can dial *456#).
2.) Any phone you can use to dial and reply to USSD.
