Do you own an Mpesa and are looking for the best business to combine with Mpesa ? We have compiled a list of businesses to help you get started.. Check them out now!
Ladies handbags and ladies shoes
Women are among the best customers. This is because women make more purchases than men. Having a shoe or handbag business on the side can be a good idea for your new or existing Mpesa shop. This business is flexible and the startup cost is not high. You can always start low and grow with time.
Barber Shop Business
Having a barbershop business could be an excellent side by side hustle with your new Mpesa shop. This is because everyone wants to look good.
You do not need to have a different shop for your new business and that will save you additional costs. But what if you have no skills in this new venture? You can always employ a good barber and learn the craft with time and assist the employee but if that is not your thing, you can always stick to management of your Mpesa and the barber shop
Printing shop
Another business you can combine with Mpesa is a printing and photocopying business. This business is also good as it will give you additional revenue on the side. You can easily make more than 20,000 or more depending on your location and also how much marketing you put into it. You will need to purchase a printing machine which is relatively cheap (starting from 5,000 on jumia), a photocopying machine (small one from 7000 for small projects or a large one if you have bulk photocopying projects)
You can never go wrong with this business but make sure your location has potential customers.
Sell Cereals
Cereals are widely consumed both in urban and rural settlements. That makes this business very ideal. Combine you Mpesa and cereals and rip big. You could sell maize, wheat beans etc. cereals are also a good choice because they are not perishable. That means you don’t risk your investment with products that easily go bad in a number of days.
Conclusion
Well there you have it. This list might not include every business out there that you can combine with Mpesa but it is a start. Draw inspiration from it, combine with ideas from friends or relatives and pick what you feel will work for you. Remember to put in the effort for you to succeed in business and with that said, best of luck.
