Become a Data Reseller in Nigeria
Start a data reselling business with zero capital, buy data at wholesale rates and earn on every sale, right from your phone.
What Is Data Reselling?
Data reselling is the business of buying mobile data bundles at wholesale or discounted prices and selling them to end users at retail prices. The difference between your buying price and selling price is your profit.
Platforms like Bigisub give you access to wholesale rates that are significantly cheaper than what customers pay through their network provider apps. This price gap is how you earn. Every time a customer buys data through you, you make money instantly.
How Much Can You Earn?
Margins vary by network and bundle size, but typical profits range from 3% to 10% per transaction. That may sound small, but it adds up quickly with volume.
- 10 sales per day at 100 naira margin each = 1,000 naira daily
- 50 sales per day = 5,000 naira daily (35,000 weekly)
- With your own website and agents, earnings can exceed 200,000 naira monthly

Frequently Asked Questions
How much capital do I need to start reselling data?
You can start with zero capital. Register for free on Bigisub and begin by collecting payment from customers before processing their orders. As you grow, funding your wallet gives you access to better wholesale rates.
Which networks can I resell data for?
Bigisub supports all major Nigerian networks including MTN, Airtel, Glo, and 9mobile. You can resell data bundles for any of these networks from a single dashboard.
How do I find customers?
Start with your existing network. Friends, family, neighbours, classmates, and colleagues all buy data regularly. Share your services on WhatsApp, Instagram, and Facebook. As word spreads, customers come to you.
Can I resell other services besides data?
Yes. Bigisub lets you resell airtime, cable TV subscriptions, electricity tokens, exam scratch cards, recharge PINs, and more. The more services you offer, the more you earn.
Scaling past ₦500,000 a month in sales?
At that point standard Corporate rates stop being the best rate available to you. Corporate Merchant goes lower again on API orders - up to 20% below reseller pricing on data - with a ₦100,000 minimum funding and a ₦500,000 commitment across any rolling 30 days.
Funding fees quietly eat your margin. Yours are ₦0.
A reseller funds their wallet again and again - that is the business. At 1.5%, putting ₦500,000 through your wallet in a month hands over ₦7,500 of margin you already worked for. On Bigisub it costs nothing. Fund your wallet free, as often as you need, and sell on the full balance.
- Zero funding fees every time you fund - no cap on how often
- The full amount lands, so your float and your margin stay intact
- Your GTBank account number is free once you complete the Squad KYC

Illustrative, to show how a percentage-based funding fee scales with the amount - a fee that is forgettable on a small top-up is not forgettable at reseller volume. Funding fees differ by platform. Applies to transfers into your Bigisub permanent account number - the GTBank account number you receive after completing the GTBank Squad KYC. That KYC is free, and so is the account number.
