On October 11, Kenya will host a meeting that will bring together entrepreneurs and business leaders from East Africa to exchange business referrals.
The event, hosted by Business Network International, aims to facilitate the development of long-term, meaningful relationships between business owners and quality professionals.
According to the 2017 'Doing Business in Kenya' report, the ease of business registration has a significant impact on the number of entrepreneurs who start businesses in the formal sector, leading to job creation and increased government revenue.
Kenya has the potential to be one of Africa's success stories, driven by its growing youthful population, dynamic private sector, highly skilled workforce, improved infrastructure, and new constitution.
Business Network International, with 13 chapters in Kenya, is positioning itself as a key player in business networking, driven by professionalism and a structured supportive system of giving and receiving business referrals.
East African Director Elizaphan Muraguri emphasizes the importance of creating lasting personal relationships with other business owners, stating, 'Getting business referrals is all about creating lasting personal relationships with other business owners. And that is why we strive to create a structured supportive system of giving and receiving business by farming for relationships that turn into businesses'.
