Security is a very big issue in Kenya and all over the world just now and the situation is bound to get only worse in the foreseeable future. There is plenty of evidence to suggest that many Kenyans have taken to electronics and technology to help protect their property and lives. The only big draw back is the cost. And that is why this idea is sure to take off like a rocket headed for the moon.

These days there are very cheap cameras around (using the same technology as those cheap webcams people have on their PCs.). It will not be too difficult to install these tiny cameras that are supposed to be concealed for maximum effect, and then linking them to a website. Your clients will have access to monitoring their locations by signing into the website. By linking to a website the cost of CCTV comes down dramatically because they don’t need wiring and TV screens on site. It also means that your profit margin can be much higher.

Often you read about business start-ups that have million or so in venture capital to get them going but for most people the only investment you will get is from your own pocket. That’s not usually very much unless you have mortgaged you house and then, of course, there is the risk.

You have to be very sure of yourself and your potential business if you decide to invest a lot of money in your new business. It’s very risky and thankfully nowadays isn’t really necessary.

Starting a business is difficult for just about anybody; starting a business while in college or attending a few classes can be a huge undertaking. In order to maintain your sanity, follow these guidelines when starting your business. These are just a few of the big issues I dealt with when starting my first business in college, and inevitably you will run into different obstacles-remember to take chances and don’t be afraid to fail.

The obvious difficulty in starting an enterprise while in college is the balance between schoolwork and finding time for your business. When I was contemplating starting my first company, I wasn’t sure how I’d be able to maintain my high grades. As I soon found out, I wasn’t able to. My days quickly became consumed with building the e-commerce site for my company, meeting with bands and artists, and searching for new clients, all while trying to get a decent grade in Music History. When I reorganized the business two years later and began my web design and printing company, I focused instead on streamlining the operations and automating as much of the business as possible. The details of this process will be the subject of another post, but I highly recommend striving to systemize as many aspects of your business’ operations, from taking and processing orders to outsourcing customer service, as possible.
