Does anyone have any ideas of producing a good income in Kenya?


This is a very broad question , i know, but im looking to move to Kenya

and im looking for away to make an income there.


Im considering opening an Irish pub (im Irish :) or something retail like clothing etc.


Ihave noticed however that most of the retail establishments are void of customers

so that is a big red flag.


Does anybody have any real feasible ideas, that i can research.

Hi before you think of opening anything in kenya, I think you should first identify, the location or place you want to reside also who are the clients are they more foreigners or locals then what do they need etc Irish pub is not a bad idea at all but remember there are also other pubs in Kenya. You just have to have a concept and factor in couple of things. I’d focus on testing demand before investing heavily
