Recently the internet has grown by leaps and bounds. Many people are now hooked on the internet because of its many benefits. Businesses have also somehow used the internet for their benefit too.
People now buy products online instead of going to retail outlets or supermarkets. I can attribute this to convenience, time-saving, and cost.

3. Farming (Commercial-scale)
Another lucrative business is commercial farming. Apart from making a lot of money, you will also employ many people and bring food security to Kenya and Africa.

6. Health and Fitness Business
As much as we all want to be healthy, it does not always happen because of our busy lifestyles.

Many people are now engaging in different activities to help them stay fit, so you can easily venture into this business if you are an expert in any fitness field.
7. Events Management Business
Events management is another booming business in Kenya, mainly because of the weddings and conferences that occur now and then.

- They manage and organize events (weddings, conferences) for their clients.
- We are catering for different occasions like birthdays, weddings, etc.
- We are providing tents and other necessary accessories needed during the event.

Because of this, the car hire business is one of the most lucrative businesses you can venture into, not just in Kenya but across the world.
All you need is a car and an internet connection or smartphone to offer your services to people who need them.
10. Pet Grooming Business

You can start this business with just a few thousand shillings if you are good with animals.
You can easily shave dogs, clip their nails, and clean them, among other things pets usually need.
In Summary
As much as each of these businesses has its unique opportunity, find the one that suits your skills and passion so that you do not work in a company that will not give you satisfaction.
As an entrepreneur, having a good team around you makes your work easy and enjoyable.
This team should include trusted advisors committed to seeing your business grow.
Depending on their skills, they could provide accounting, legal advice, or even marketing.
Your team should be very goal-oriented and ready to step in when needed.
They should also know their respective fields so that they are successful.
