What you need to do is identify a suitable venture, a profitable one and a good location where security is guaranteed and customers are not limited.

Based on our research,we list some of the profitable businesses you can start with Sh 1 million in Kenya

1. Car wash (Nairobi, Mombasa, Kisumu, Thika, Central Kenya)

A number of entrepreneurs we interact with confess that business of selling wines and spirits is good but you have to sell at wholesale level in order to realize significant profits.

Car tinting business is also not flooded, and many people are rushing to have their cars tinted .This is one venture that can make you forget poverty and join the club of who is who.

A garage is an excellent idea because every minute a car must get involved in an accident in Kenya. Those cars are normally towed to a nearby garage. There are also a number of motorists who take their cars to the garage for services.

Advantage of having a garage is that you charge a client according to how you see him. The cost is not fixed.

Forex Trading involves trading in foreign currency through brokerage firms or forex bureaus.

Forex trading does not necessarily mean you must reside in a country for you to trade in that country’s currency. This is an online platform that allows individuals to buy and share currencies based on market variability.

This will enable you to make informed choice on when to buy and sell your cash. The key indicators are political stability and performance of stock market in thse countries.

Another important point to note is that you must ensure the brokerage firm or forex bureau you deposit the money is legally recognized to do the business. The best way to know is to identify whether the company has been in the business for more than 10 years.

To start trading in forex, simply approach a Forex Trading company, either online or in the town you are residing and deposit the amount you want to trade with.

Remember this is one of the best ways to make money online. You can easily be rich if you engage in this kind of business.

 

Tuk Tuk are small cars that are used to ferry passengers from one location to another.

The small cars were first seen in Kenya in early 2000, but they can be spotted in every town in Kenya.

Advantage of owning a Tuk Tuk over matatu is that it consumes less fuel and can pass through roads where matatus cannot dare to pass.

Tuk Tuk are also more profitable as compared to motorcycle because they carry more than 2 passengers. Another advantage of Tuk Tuk is that they can carry more goods than  motorcycles.

The best alternative to a matatu is a tuk tuk because it can give you the same profit a matatu can give you.

You can either obtain a tuk tuk from local dealers or import through SBT japan.

With just Sh 350, 000, you can get a Tuk Tuk in good condition.

Reliable sources say single Tuk Tuk can give you up to Ksh 4,000 per day.It is almost impossible for a Tuk Tuk to make a loss.

There are over 10 types of decoders in Kenya, most of them being local.

If you are new to the usage of the set boxes, perhaps you are wondering which set box is best for you; you are at the right place.

Having tested most of these decoders and the feedback I receive from the users, I believe I should share information regarding which decoder to buy in Kenya.

To begin with, Startimes emerges as the best because most of the programmes are free-you can subscribe to the programs which are not free if you wish.

I always stick to Startimes because it has the best network; it doesn’t go off anyhow.

GoTV on the other hand is a very good decoder and has several channels that you don’t pay for. But one thing you have to know is that you have to pay subscription fee every month when using GoTV but the services are excellent.

For those who love football and lots of cartoon channels then this is the set box to have.

DSTV is another set box that is loved by football fans and people who own pubs and hotels.

Though subscription fees for DSTV is a bit high, it’s a good set box because it allows for free to air channels like Citizen TV, NTV,KTN and K24

ZUKU is a very excellent decoder because of the many family friendly programs available with the set boxes.

However,ZUKU requires monthly subscription in order to enjoy watching more channels. But one thing that makes it very attractive is the fact that it has additional services like internet.

Bamba decoder has poor network. It goes on and off each and every time.But the decoder is good when it’s in good condition.

Citizen Decoder is another option if indeed you are not impressed with Zuku,GoTV and Startimes.

You can also try other decoders provided in the following list.

1. DSTV
2. ZUKU
3. Startimes
4. Go TV
5. Hotpoint
6. Technosat
7. GOSPELL
8. Samsung
9. Yaojin
10. iClass
11. Bamba

12. Citizen decoder

When it comes to choosing the right decoder,I advise you not to be so much concerned with the amount you buy the set box, what should worry you is whether you will be satisfied with the services when using it.

Another factor you should consider is how much money you will pay as monthly subscription. I know there are many of you who will not be willing to pay Sh 800 as monthly subscription.

Marketing your business online in Kenya has become the obvious marketing strategy for entrepreneurs who mind about increasing profitability. Although many small companies don’t bother marketing their products-no wonder they are small-there is a big percentage of ambitious companies who market in various social media forums as well as blogs to beat their competitors.

Remember, most people in Kenya are seeking information online; the early you realize that marketing your products online is essential, the better.

One thing I like about online marketing is that those who visit various sites to seek information rarely miss to notice your adverts; they therefore make sure they follow up on the information of their interest. This is in contrast to advertising on televisions and bill boards where most of the information doesn’t reach the targeted audience.

For your information, marketing your products online costs you less than marketing through Television, bill boards and radios. Those who know this trick has always stuck to advertising on blogs and social media.

Do you know you can spend as little as Sh 3,000 per month on adverts and earn over Sh 100,000 from the same. This has been tested, and that’s the reason why nowadays start-ups don’t panic on how they’ll get customers.

The best business to advertise online include:

Web hosting

Electronic products like smartphones, televisions,online radio,ladies’dresses etc

1. Bank loans
2. Insurance products
3. Chemist drugs
4. Dating business
5. Supply of construction materials and equipment
6. Office furniture
7. Supply of office stationery
8. Web Design
9. University and college courses
10. Day Care business
11. Hotel Business
12. Tour Company
13. Data Analysis services
14. Online shop
15. News Site
16. Agro-Vet
17. Car Bazaar
18. motor vehicle spare part business
19. Transport company
20. Security company
21. Etc

The best medium to use is sites which have relevant content; sites which attract readers who are interested in your products. Please be aware that popular sites like Standard Media Group and Nation might charge you more but sites like ours can charge as little as Sh 5,000 per month.

To advertise on our site, send an email to [email protected] and we will call you to discuss more details.

If we market your product, you must be assured of getting returns of up to 500 % of the advertising cost.

 

 

 

 

 

 

I have not only observed individuals making a kill out of Fresh vegetable business, but I have also experienced it.Fresh vegetable business is one of the most profitable ventures in Nairobi and its environs.

To start the business, one has to identify a suitable location which is highly populated. I would advise you to avoid posh estates like Karen, Runda, Kileleshwa and Muthaiga because residents in these areas usually buy their vegetables from shopping malls and supermarkets.

The best estates to start the business include Kawangware, South B, South C, Embakasi, Githurai, Kayole, Komarock, Kahawa West, Kahawa Sukari, Ruiru, Umoja, Donholm,Huruma and Muthurwa market.

Fresh vegetable business can fit in a grocery or be conducted in an open air market. To start a grocery, you need a capital of at least Sh 100,000, but if you intend to start the business in an open air market, Sh 1,000 is enough as capital.

Where to source the vegetables.

Most vegetables are ferried from Kisii, Central Kenya and Kajiado,but the best vegetables are those ferried from Kisii.Some of the vegetables, which are becoming popular among residents, are only found in Kisii,they include saga, managu and kunde.

There are also large scale traders in Muthurwa market who can sell to you cheaply.

Profits you expect from fresh vegetable business

The profit is not fixed, though most traders make Sh 500-Sh5, 000 per day. There is no loss reported in this business, unless the vegetables overstay during transportation and get spoilt.

 

Mango Business is booming and its profits are huge. This is one small business that is very lucrative and with huge profit margin.

Though the business looks like it won’t generate a penny, there are a number of entrepreneurs who have made it.What is more shocking is that those who engage in it as full time job don’t reveal the secrets to the mass, they fear competition.

Where to source Mango from

Many individuals obtain mangoes from Ukambani but there are others who source from Mount Kenya region while others get them from Mombasa. But the best and cheapest mangoes are obtained from Ukambani.

Capital required to start mango business in Kenya

The capital required to start this business depends on whether you want to sell in large scale or you simply want to retail.

Retailers dedicate between Ksh 2,000-Ksh10, 000 while wholesalers dedicate between Ksh 50,000-Ksh100,000.

Profits

The profits from mango business are huge. A single mango generates at least Sh 5 which means that if you sell 100 mangoes per day they will make for you Sh 500.

Most retailers make between Sh 1,000-Sh5, 000 per day while wholesalers make up to Ksh30,000 per day.

 

 

Nairobi has over 30 estates, most of them occupied by middle income earners. It is evident that business is profitable in Nairobi, whether small or large but there are estates which are actually better than others in terms of profitability.

We have observed that there are estates you can set up business and grow faster compared to other estates. Most of the estates where business is most profitable are found in areas where circulation of money is high and people have the ability to spend a lot for even basic services.

In Nairobi Eastlands, for instance, the businesses that do well are small ones and startups but business like massage, five star hotels, shopping malls and recreation facilities do well in posh estates.

Recent studies show that the following Estates in Nairobi are the most ideal for entrepreneurs who want to strike it rich

1. Westlands
2. Nairobi West
3. Runda
4. Kitisuru
5. Langata
6. South B
7. Karen
8. Kilimani
9. Kileleshwa
10. Hurlingham
11. Rongai
12. Muthaiga

The estates listed above are only best in businesses which need huge investments. Such businesses include shopping malls, executive salons and Berber shops, car hire, pubs, guest houses, beauty parlor, car bazaar, chemist, boutique.

Business suitable in estates for middle and low income earners include.

Selling serials, selling clean water, selling gas, boda boda business, cosmetics shop, clinic,supermarket,selling vegetables,mitumba business and m-pesa shop.

The estates for middle and small income earners in Nairobi include Kayole,Komarock,Kibera,Mathare,Huruma,Githurai,Kahawa West,Kahawa Sukari,Kasarani,Embakasi,Pipeline,Mlolongo,Imara Daima,Tassia,Kawangware and Utawala.

 

Every business in Kenya is lucrative, whether the one done by people who never went past primary school or those with degrees. The best business is one you venture in and enjoy doing even if it doesn’t give you maximum benefits.

The era of university graduates bragging that they are educated is over. Nowadays, people without degrees are more innovative and wealth than the highly educated individuals. It is therefore useless to sleep your degree, complaining that the government has forgotten you when there are available opportunities you can grab and make a difference.

Kenya is a country of many opportunities and at no time someone will disrupt your business unless you don’t comply with the laid down laws.

Having studied the business environment, I can reveal to you that the following businesses are suitable for university graduates in Kenya.

1. Consultant firm

If you studied Statistics then start a research firm where you can provide research, data analysis, survey and monitoring and evaluation services. If you studied law then start a law firm.

Since you understand your field well, you can easily make it and possibly dominate the industry.

2. Poultry farming

This business is regarded as the best in the modern Kenya.

Poultry farming has proved it pays, no wonder those who venture into this business drive big cars, live large, invest and take their children to big schools.

It doesn’t matter whether you studied agriculture or not as long as you learn the basics of poultry farming.

3. Online marketing business

Online marketing business can provide opportunity to interact with many people as you push companies’ products to clients.

You can start a blog where you market products for your friends, neighbours and anyone who approaches you.

4. Garage

If you have a degree in Mechanical Engineering then starting a garage is not a bad idea. Even if you don’t have a relevant degree you can employ people with diploma in Mechanical Engineering

5. Chemist

Those with a degree in pharmacy or diploma in nursing are advantaged here.Once you start a pharmacy you won’t think of employment again.

Other business opportunities include starting a car wash, restaurant, supplying stationary to schools and offices, starting a salon and Kinyozi, starting mpesa shop, photocopy and printing services near a school.

If you are a lady then try cosmetics business or a beauty salon.

 

In Kenya, wealth is equally distributed between the youths and the old. There are youths who are richer than the old generation, they are in fact wealth.

What is surprising is that the wealth list cuts across all tribes but more interesting is that it’s dominated by the Kikuyu tribe.

In this article, we list the wealthiest youths in Kenya and how much they own.

Brian Gacara –Ksh 5 billion

Kevin Muringa-Ksh 15 billion

Hussein Mohammed-Ksh6 billion

Steve Mbogo-Ksh12 billion

Mike Sonko-Ksh 23 billion

Scrap metal is a booming business in Kenya and will remain one of the most profitable businesses in the country in many years to come.

One thing many Kenyans, especially the most educated don’t realize is that you can make money without sitting in anyone’s office. Selling scrap metal is one of the easiest businesses you can conduct in Kenya regardless of education level

How exactly do people start this business?

In order to start the business you should have at least Ksh 50,000 as capital. This money will help buy scrap metals from the source. It will also cover transportation cost.

I will advise you, with time, to have your own vehicle to transport the metals.

Where to get scrap metals from

Scrap metals can be sourced from industries, factories, individual homes and garage.

Where to sell scrap metals.

There are several industries in Industrial area who buy scrap metals. They buy in bulk and export abroad for recycling.

Alternatively, you can sell to jua kali artisans in Nairobi along jogoo road or any other town where jua kali industry is thriving.

Profits from scrap metal business

From the several sources I have gathered information, the business brings an average of Ksh 100,000 per month.However, there are individuals who make as high as Ksh500, 000 per month.
