Am a soon to be 22 year old university student. A professional idler for about a month, courtesy to UON abrupt closure and another lecturers strike. Honestly I feel am getting too old for this shit. This current lecturers strike was the final straw for me and am on the verge of calling it quits to pursue alternative path to success.
Naturally I have been thinking alot this past month on simple business I could start that will generate me a decent income over a period of time. At first I thought about starting an online shop, import from China and sell over here. It’s still a good idea but I feel it’s a bit too risky for the returns.
Then I have this second idea. It’s a long term plan. I would like to operate an all out financial shop that is everything from Mpesa, equity agent, cooperative mtani, you name it. I know this will be a difficult process and am willing to pursue it. Obviously I have researched about opening an mpesa agent business and they kind of seemed out of my reach. Am talking requirements like have an existing business, be a limited company operating more than 6 months, huge financial requirements etc. There has to be easier ways to open an mpesa shop surely right? Maybe I was just researching on the wrong area but the problem is most Kenyans websites just copy and paste the same articles so you end up reading the same information over and over again.
So here is where you kind talkers come in, Tell me the quickest, easiest and legit way I could start an Mpesa agent business.
First let me congratulate you for trying to keep yourself gainfully engaged.For starters try starting small,your can be a sub-agent of a dealer this is an arrangement you can have sorted in less than 24hrs but first scout for a location with high foot traffic.If you need more info feel free to ask.
Thanks for the feedback. Just 2 questions on that; 1.How much would I need to start it up initially?
2.Will the line be in my name and the commission sent to directly to my number?
The line will be in the name of the main dealer…yes you will receive your commision directly on your line…the mpesa float will really depend on your transactional needs.
Quickest na legit business haziambatani, hata mtoi hugrow pole pole.
2.Dont abandon education for the sake of money, make a business venture as a job, wengine tunangangana tupate papers.
soma kwanza, in the short term biz itakua poa, but if you abandon education utaregret ukiwa 45 years. Biashara unaeza Fanya later. Masomo kwanza, biz maybe side-husle
I have to say, a few weeks ago I had the same idea ya kuanza importation but sportpesa ikaingililia katikati. Now i’m back to square 1! Kama uko na uwezo do it but first ufanye research on what is most markettable na usisahau kuhitisha usaidizi. Just do it, as long as it ain’t gambling. Cheers!
