The program aims to support 20,000 entrepreneurs in the retail sector by reducing the cost of doing business and providing access to affordable business space, products, and capital.
Notify Logistics recently raised KES45M in a seed round, which will be channeled to the Notify Entrepreneurs Program. The program will provide entrepreneurs with affordable business space at an annual fee of KES20,000 in any Notify Mall for 1 year, fully serviced with shop attendants and licenses.
The program will also ensure access to products from manufacturers has been made easier and efficient, with manufacturers like Maser and given vendors access to the Luminarc brand products; among others both locally and internationally. Additionally, the program will help entrepreneurs acquire capital by connecting them to investors who are ready to invest in growing businesses.
As a way to motivate and mentor entrepreneurs, the program will incorporate a 10-week entrepreneurship training, moderated and led by successful entrepreneurs to inspire and empower new entrepreneurs and small business owners in Kenya.
Notify Logistics has been supporting small businesses since 2018, providing them with affordable business space, photography services, marketing support, and free countrywide delivery to clients who buy from any of the small businesses in any Notify Mall countrywide and also from the e-commerce platform.
“We are thrilled to welcome entrepreneurs and small businesses from across the country to join the Notify Entrepreneurs Program as we accelerate them to the next level in their businesses,” stated Hellen Waweru, Co-founder at Notify Logistics.
