2. Movie Shop Business
You only need a computer and buy some latest movies in town and duplicate them, this is the kind of business you have heard of for some time now. The best part is that you do it in your estates and villages and your neighbours and friends are your customers. The truth is you will need around Ksh. 50, 000 and more for a profitable business of this nature to run smoothly.
3. Salon and Kinyozi Business
I recently talked to my cousin about starting a business and was surprised when she mentioned starting a salon in her neighbourhood, she works for the government, yes but she is seeking to start her own business and a salon is her choice. Well, this is common to many who want to make that extra coin supplement their salaries.
Salons and Kinyozi business do well in the middle-class neighbourhoods of Nairobi, just make it look executive and you are off to go. Some Kinyozis have employed beautiful women who just massage the bald heads after the shave, this does the trick and customers flow in well.
4. Wines and Spirits Business
I did not say that Kenya is a drinking nation, don’t tell that to anyone, but recently there has been an increase in the number of (let me call them Legal Changaa Dens) small pubs with the labels Wines and Spirits. This is one of the lucrative businesses around the estates.
If you have been thinking about starting a pub or bar but you hate the rowdy and the obscene behaviour of drunkards then this is the kind of business you may think of. No one is allowed to drink at your premises just sell and they leave.
The obstacles in this kind of business are the legal side of it as laws regarding alcohol are becoming stiffer and stiffer and this has led to some of the ‘changaa dens’ to close and not profit the business owner.
5. Taxi Business
Technology has done wonders for Kenyans and now with the likes of Uber and Little cab, Taxi is one of the booming businesses in Kenya.
Anyone can do it and with about 500K you can get a car and sign up with these companies to start making money in Kenya.
