Luthuli Avenue is one of the best places to start business in Nairobi. There are specific businesses that do well in the street. Here is a list of the most profitable and best businesses to start there:

Selling smartphones

Look for a capital of Ksh 1 million and above and set up a business of selling smartphones. If possible, specialize in selling on wholesale. But you should be ready to part with good will of Ksh 100,000 and above. Rent per month is Ksh 50,000 to Ksh100,000.

You will make profit of  Ksh 5,000 and above daily.

Smartphone repair business

If you have knowledge and skills of repairing smartphones, Luthuli Avenue is the best place to set up the business. You need a capital of Ksh 100,000 to Ksh 300,000.

Selling Televisions

At Luthuli, television selling business dominate…this is not to mean that it’s saturated. You will still get customers. You will require a capital of Ksh 2 million to Ksh5,000,000. Daily profits will be Ksh3,000 to Ksh30,000 depending on the number of customers you will get.

Mpesa shop and bank agency business

You should also think of starting Mpesa shop and bank agency business. This one you will make a lot of money because there is a lot of cash in circulation at Luthuli Avenue. The capital required is Ksh 200,000 to Ksh500,000.

Smartphone Accessories

There is also high demand for smartphone accessories. Sell earphones, smartphone chargers,covers and other parts. You need a capital of Ksh 400,000 and above.

Selling Woofers

You can also specialize in selling woofers. You will need a capital of Ksh 1 million and above.

Bodaboda business

Get a place for bodaboda where you will be transporting items for shoppers. The demand for transport is very high in this street.

Selling laptops

Another business that will thrive at Luthuli Avenue is to sell laptops. You will require a capital of Ksh2 million and above. Profit per day will be from Ksh2,000.

Restaurant

You can also set up a restaurant within the street if you get a space. You will earn decent income from your business.

Grocery shop business is one of the most profitable businesses at the moment in Kenya. Most businesses are not doing well because the economy is not good. But since people must eat, having a grocery shop will make you decent profits. If you set up the business in Nairobi, you will be the happiest person.

Instead of starting a business of selling cars, selling smartphones or clothes, just start a grocery shop.

The capital required to start the business is Ksh 20,000 to Ksh100,000. The best places to set up the business include Nairobi, Mombasa,Kisumu,Nakuru and Kisii. But I would advise you to start the business in Nairobi.

The profits you will be earning range between Ksh 1,000 and Ksh20,000 per day depending on the size of the business. On average, you will be making Ksh 2,000 per day.

Even with a university degree,you can still start this business and make money like a graduate.

Let’s be honest. KFC, burgers, chips, and soda were never created for “vibing” or soft life. These things were invented for broke people in America. I’m serious. Go to their low-income neighborhoods , every corner has fast food. And guess what else is on the next street? A hospital. It’s a brilliant system: feed them trash, then sell them medicine. Create the problem, then profit from the solution.

But here we are, in Nairobi, someone saves 600 bob, runs to KFC like they’ve been chosen by the gods of wealth. You chew that chicken like your ancestors never tasted oil. Then you post it. A full-blown photoshoot next to a burger and fries, with the caption: “Soft life things.”

My brother. That’s not soft life. That’s soft manhood knocking. That burger you’re worshipping is just a round-shaped heartbreak. That soda is a cold, fizzy funeral in a bottle. And those chips? Deep fried regret, seasoned with poor decisions.

Let me not even sugarcoat it ,no pun intended, some of you are struggling with erectile dysfunction at 23. You can’t even perform basic husband duties, and you’re blaming witchcraft. My friend, the only witch is the garbage you’re calling food. You’re out here eating oil with a side of oil, then wondering why your machine starts but can’t rev.

You can’t breathe properly after climbing one flight of stairs, but you still say you’re young. No bro, you’re young and dying slowly. You’re not eating to live. You’re eating for content, likes, and a future prescription.

And I’m not rich. I also like good things. But I’ve reached a point where I ask myselfmyself, is this thing feeding me or finishing me?

Nairobi CBD is becoming one of the most dangerous places to start business in Nairobi. Few years ago, one could start a business, run it smoothly without any disruption, but now, the frequent demonstrations put it at a risk of being the worst place for business.

Over the past 2 weeks, Kenya has witnessed the worst demonstrations, one of them being on 25^th June 2024 by the Gen Z. During those times, businesses are broken into and items stolen. Businesses close down completely and even if they close, one isn’t sure that the stock will be available the following day. Imagine waking up to the shock that you have lost Ksh30 million stock to thieves.

It has now reached a time where goons are taking advantage of the demonstrations to steal from shops. This means that wherever there are demonstrations, the goons will be standby to steal—this is bad for businesses.

I have witnessed shops moving away from Nairobi CBD. Estates like Embakasi, Utawala,Along Mombasa road,Ngong Road,Kilimani and Kasarani are booming. The night life shifted from Nairobi CBD to estates where huge pubs are operating. Electronic shops are being set in estates and even boutique shops. Businesses which used to thrive in Nairobi CBD are not thriving anymore because of political uncertainties.

What makes businesses in the CBD more furious is the fact that the rent they pay is very high, they even pay good will. In most estates, good will is not charged.

Unless there is a solution for this political uncertainties and demostrations,people will shun Nairobi CBD and in future the place will be deserted.

Mash Poa is one of the best companies to use when delivering parcels in Kenya. The charges are from Ksh1,300 to Ksh 3700.

Here’s a more detailed breakdown:

Regular Parcel: Nairobi to Mombasa/Voi – Ksh 1300.

VIP Parcel: Nairobi to Mombasa/Voi – Ksh 1800.

Business Class Parcel: Nairobi to Mombasa/Voi – Ksh 1600.

Same-day Delivery: Available at affordable rates across their destinations.

Nairobi to Kakamega/Mumias via Kisumu/Mbale: Ksh 1500.

Nairobi to Kampala via Busia: Mash Cool (4:00PM) – Ksh 3700, Mash Poa (7:30PM) – Ksh 2500.

To get specific pricing for your parcel, it’s best to contact Mash Poa directly with the origin, destination, and weight of your parcel. You can reach them at +254 733 623 260 / 730 889 000 (Mombasa) or via email at info@mashpoa.com.

Ensure that the parcel is sealed properly and wrapped in such a way that it can reach safely.

Street food in Kenya can be delicious but don’t just buy and food. If you are keen enough, you will realize that those selling street food touch it with bare hand. Most of them don’t have water to clean their hands.

Once you take street foods, especially samosa, roasted maize and mutura,you have to be near a toilet—such food is not clean at all. Furthermore, some of the meat which is sold to you is either spoilt or from slaughtered cat, dog or donkey.

If you are going to buy mutura,go to a major supermarket where they prepare mutura and buy from there.If you are going to buy roasted maize,do it from a clean person who doesn’t touch the maize with bare hands. If you are going to buy samaosa, sausages and Smokies, do it in major supermarkets.

Some guys sell mutura and you don’t even know where they get meat from. When you look around, there is no butchery near them. Be careful when buying mutura from such people.

There is also this idea of buying bottled water from the streets. Some of the sellers get water from the borehole and put it in bottles. The water isn’t even treated well. Drink it and you will regret.

The only street food you can buy and eat comfortably is fruits or boiled eggs.

Buying and selling of second-hand car in Kenya can be complicated. Below is the process you can use to avoid being scammed your money:

1. A) SELLING

* Take your car for Valuation. Do not Sell blindly. A valuation report gives you the current market value and forced value of your car. This will enable you sell factualy. Your selling margins should not be too high or too low from the forced value provided for in the valuation

* Engage the buyer , meet in an open secure place in the company of a close friend or relative.

* Arrange for a test drive around the city. Avoid going for test drives in rural areas away from people in isolated places. robberies occur in such places.

* Clean the interior and exterior .

* Have all documents in photocopy. Do not walk with originals.

* Have a service history of the vehicle with you. It is important to notify the buyer of any issues with the vehicle and clarify reason for selling.

* Have a lawyer draft a sale agreement for you.

* All cash transfers to be done via bank transfer. NEVER Accept cash from anyone no matter how small the amount is. This makes it easier to track payments and offer proof of sale.

* Have a lawyer hold the vehicle as the transfer takes place. The new owner should pick the car with the lawyer as a witness.

* Cancel your insurance policy immediately the sale agreement is done. Insurance contracts are non transferable.

* Give out all accessories belonging to the vehicle e.g spare keys, special wheel key, if you have installed a tracking device have it removed so that the new owner takes up one for themselves. do not have car track logins for a car you no longer own.

BUYING

* Shop around. do not rush. Two weeks of ground work is enough.

*Approach showrooms for repossessed units or get in touch with a bank for the same.

* Go with a mechanic who can and should give a sober overview of the car without any bias. Have them start off with the engine, gearbox then body in that order.

* Let the car idle for 5 minutes without racing it. if it vibrates and goes off avoid such.

* For CVT transmissions check the gearbox by using this simple trick.

– Press on the foot-brake

– Switch on the car.

– Remove handbrake

– Shift the gear lever from Parking ,Reverse to    Neutral to Drive and back to parking all while pressing the brake pedal in . If the vehicle jerks or shakes as you do this then it probably has faulty transmission or worn out engine /gear mountings.

* Check body work for irregular paint work , non aligned edges and cracks. cracks indicate that filler  was used on that part after an accident. lift the bonnet , check beneath it, how heavy is it ? a heavy bonnet is a sign of filler use.

* When doing test drives, switch off the radio to listen to any strange sounds coming from the engine bay, front suspension. on your way back seat at the rear seats to feel how the rear suspension rides. The driver should feel the steering rack and how it turns too.

* All cash transfer should be done via bank and nothing else for purposes of tracking payments and ensuring accountability. Make sure that the account owner is the name in the logbook. Do not send money to a different account or else you will sing “Luwere luwere luwere !”

* Sign the sale agreement in front of a lawyer and have them as a witness.

* Initiate logbook transfer immediately and immediately take possession of the original logbook.  If the logbook is not in the name of the seller avoid such deals.

* Take out insurance cover in your name asap. The owner should cancel his insurance immediately. insurance contracts are not transferable.

* Buying a car should happen during working days and not weekends or holidays i.e when banks and lawyers are open for business.

* Keep copies of the sellers National id , KRA Pin together with the sale agreement duly signed and stamped by the lawyer who acts as a witness.
