My Business

My business is transporting goods by use of motorbike (Bobaboda)
My business includes transporting good by use of motorbike (Bodaboda) i.e carrying of tomatoes and green vegetable eg sukumawiki cabbages ,carrot and maize from the farm to the market, By conducting a market survey I decided to start the business of transporting good from the farm to the market after realize there is a ready market for farmer relies on motorbike to transport there good such as vegetable to the market. The businesses capture 70 percent of the market share, also the business is expected to continuous to grow due to the ready market through out the year because crop such as vegetable are harvested through out the year. The business is located in a strategic position because the mean of transport is available and the climate is favorable for the farmer to produce more farm produce. They is a lot of demand of the product such as such as maize, beans and vegetables in the market thus making my business to operate through out the year, and also so many people here rely on this variety this making it much demanding, also being the one managing the business I am the one getting all the benefit and profit.
The business will be profitable because the demand is very high of the farm produce in the market. The risk facing the business is poor road during the rainy season which hinders the transportation farm products. The goal of the business will be get profit, create employment as a long term goal. My business will be supported by insurance services for any compensation in case of any accident, my typical monthly cost is khs 50000, sale revenue is around ksh 20000 and profit is above 25000 but I am planning to earning more from the business.
