On August 30, 2021, Notify Logistics, a leading growth accelerator for small businesses in Kenya, announced the launch of the Notify Entrepreneurs Program. This initiative aims to support 20,000 entrepreneurs in the retail sector by reducing the cost of doing business and providing access to resources and infrastructure.
Notify Logistics has recently raised KES45M in a seed round, which will be channeled to the Notify Entrepreneurs Program. The program will provide affordable business space at an annual fee of KES20,000 in any Notify Mall for 1 year, fully serviced with shop attendants and licenses.
According to Steve Waweru Nderitu, CEO of Notify Logistics, the program will also ensure access to products from manufacturers has been made easier and efficient. "We have partnered with manufacturers like Luminarc, Maser, among others both locally and internationally to make it easier for businesses in our Entrepreneurs Program to source for products to sell," he stated.
The program will also help entrepreneurs acquire capital by connecting them to investors who are ready to invest in growing businesses. Additionally, a 10-week entrepreneurship training will be incorporated to motivate and mentor entrepreneurs.
Notify Logistics has been supporting small businesses since 2018, providing them with the necessary resources to thrive. The company has also negotiated partnerships to enable 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 Nderitu, Co-founder at Notify Logistics.
