• Fabrics – Capital: 200,000

This is a very popular business that requires very minimal capital to start up but some level of know-how. You profit from buying fabric in bulk and subdividing into smaller dimensions for sale to tailors. In spite of the small profit margins involved, tailors use hundreds of meters of fabric in a month. Fabric sold in Kenya is purchased from Uganda, Tanzania, Ghana and Nigeria.

If you are going to aim for quality, then Uganda and Nigeria provide the best quality.
