getting a job in Kenya is probably the hardest of things…its an exhausting, costly and heart-breaking affair…at the end one may end up witha low-paying and tiring job, that is if you are lucky enough to get one…however there are many ways to avoid this process, one is starting a business…you may have so many questions to ask but let me answer you before you start … first question…what kind of a business?

Here are a few business ideas for you to start with

Computer Repairs

Kenyans are generally used to buying used computers and due to constant break down, there is need for repairs….this is where a repairing business would make money…better still there are so many companies that are selling off old and broken down computers and accessories or international companies that are dumping old computers all at low cost…how about buying the ones verified for quality and repair for resale at a premium above the cost…your customers are many ranging from schools to cyber cafés to individuals

Public Relations Agency

What makes up a pr company? there are no goods to sell…all a firm needs is a PR professional, a lot of internet and a computer, scanner, printer, fax and a telephone…in fact specialize on new media, that is internet, blogs etc…companies in Kenya are need professionals who can check on their image on the internet…tohelp you there are many websites and software tools at your disposal

Start an association

think about associations make a lot of money on many platforms, for example member subscriptions, registrations even expos, product endorsements,  magazines, seminars and exams…a good associationis one that has a potential high number of individuals and companies and where no other association exists

Videotaping Service

you may not win a producer-of-the-year award, but you'll win the appreciation of your clients when you capture their weddings, graduations, parties,reunions, birthdays and more on your camcorder. Keep the film rolling at special events, and then edit a final version for clients' own special screenings.

Host a trade expo

an expo is an event that brings together interested individuals, corporate and government agencies…cost involved in expos is one hiring of venues and other logistics…the trick with expo’s is to not charge individuals so that you can have as many individuals as possible, charge corporate that are making presentations…..with a lot of traffic one is sure to get interested advertisers, caterers, media partners etc….ever thought if the agricultural shows were effectively managed how much money they would bring

Graphic design and custom printing

Graphic design is one trade that is slowly about surely picking up…from print media to electronic there is a lot of potential especially now that every company and individual wants to establish brand presence…

Real Estate Agency

Think about it... Don’t people spend a lot of time to find a good house, property, office space...Etc?  don’t many more individual and corporate investors have a hard time managing real estate properties….bridge the gap and make your money…beyond that look to renovate property, and handle logistics involved for an additional fee

Travel Agency

many Kenyans want to travel around Kenya and abroad…why don’t they?...they mainly don’t have information about places, pricing etc…still aren’t there many tourist looking to travel in the country to enjoy much what Kenya has to offer…you can make a commission from providing information, making travel arrangements…beyond a commission you could also make money from hotels, airlines etc, that offer you bonuses to increase their sales…to make even more money you could form a travel club and charge members subscription fees yearly by enabling such members to acquire discounts when they travel using a certain members card

good luck in your business endeavor
