My Business

Initially, the nissan operated as a public transport vehicle within Nakuru town but later changed the business to offer private school children transport for several schools within Nakuru Town.
Due to the fast economic growth and increase population of the town there is significant increase of school going children who needs my services.
Having been in transportation business, I have an experience of which am courageous enough to run my business. Reliability since I pick the children from their houses an return them back in the evening reducing risks of kidnapping, minor accidents involving the children when crossing the road and being exposed to cold weather during the rain seasons. My business is profitable because I can be able to cater the running cost e.g fuel, insurance, repairs etc comfortably.
The risks that I face mostly in my business lack of proper infrastructure which causes car breakage.
My monthly costs include fuel, spares, service and any other maintenance.
Revenue is collected based on number of children paid per head, distance from home to school which is able cater for the running cost. Have also ventured in chicken rearing business.
